Live-in Nanny / Housekeeper
Overview
A lovely family, currently in Belgium and relocating to France this December, is looking for a special person to join their household as a Live-in Nanny / Housekeeper for their 8-month-old son. This is a wonderful opportunity to become a true part of family life, the role blends hands-on childcare with home management, roughly 50/50, though every day brings its own rhythm.
The home is calm, relaxed, and lovingly cared for, with a much-loved family dog completing the household. More than any specific qualification, the family is looking for the right spirit: someone warm, happy, energetic, and naturally proactive: a person who takes pride in doing things well and thrives with independence rather than instruction.
The family would love the right candidate to join them during their remaining time in Belgium, but this is optional – if it isn’t feasible, candidates are very welcome to join once the family has settled in France.
Job duties
Responsibilities of the Live-in Nanny/Housekeeper in Belgium/France include:
- Shared childcare duties with parents for one baby (8 months old)
- General housekeeping to a high standard
- Cooking up to one meal a day, including batch cooking for the baby a few times a week
- Weekly errands and grocery shopping
- Occasional evening babysitting, either paid on top of or balanced within weekly hours depending on that week’s schedule
- Willingness to travel with the family 2–4 weeks per year, or alternatively stay behind to manage the house
- Assisting with the household move from Belgium to France in December, if in post at that time
Candidates must be/have:
- Strong experience as a hands-on, all-round Nanny / Housekeeper for a private household
- Comfortable and confident around both young children and animals
- Warm, energetic, proactive, and able to work well without micromanagement
- Conversational French or English
- The right to work in France or EU passport
- A valid driving licence (a car will be provided)
- Ideally open to an initial temporary period in Belgium ahead of the move, transitioning to a permanent French CDI contract — though this is not essential, and a strong candidate unable to start until the France relocation is equally welcome
Accommodation
A private ensuite room in France; private room and bathroom also available during time in Belgium.
Hours
35-hour working week under a French CDI contract, ideally Tues – Sat (days off flexible).
More flexibility on working days/hours during the Belgian period, allowing time to visit family (applicable only if the candidate joins during this time).
Location
Initially Belgium, relocating to France in December.
Time in Belgium beforehand is optional rather than a firm requirement — candidates unable to join until the France relocation are equally welcome to apply.
Salary
Approx. €3,000 – 3,500 net per month, depending on experience.
