Family Overview

A warm, international family and repeat client based in Abuja is seeking a calm, well-presented, and education-minded nanny-governess for their daughter, who is approaching 4 years of age. The family home is busy and active, and they are looking for someone who can bring structure, kindness, and consistency to their daughter's daily routine, while supporting her early learning in both English and French.

Role Overview

The nanny-governess will be responsible for the child's day-to-day routine, early years learning, and overall development. The focus will be on designing and delivering age-appropriate educational activities, promoting good manners and independence, and creating a nurturing environment in which the child can grow in confidence in both languages.

This is a live-in position, and the ideal candidate should be willing to relocate to Abuja and accompany the family on their regular trips abroad.

Key Responsibilities

  • Plan and deliver engaging, age-appropriate activities that support early learning, including pre-reading skills, early numeracy, creative play, and problem-solving.
  • Support language development in both English and French through stories, songs, conversations, and games.
  • Establish and maintain a gentle yet consistent daily routine (mealtimes, rest, outdoor play, quiet time).
  • Promote independence, social skills, and good manners in daily situations.
  • Organise simple educational outings and cultural activities where appropriate.
  • Prepare learning materials and projects to foster curiosity and creativity.
  • Communicate clearly with parents regarding the child's progress, interests, and any areas requiring additional support.
  • Pack and organise the child's belongings for travel; maintain order and consistency during trips.
  • Keep the child's bedroom and play areas tidy and organised.

Candidate Requirements

  • Proven experience working as a nanny-governess with children aged 3–6.
  • Fluent in both English and French; confident in using both languages throughout the day.
  • Strong understanding of early years development and school readiness (social, emotional, and cognitive).
  • Warm, kind and child-focused, with the ability to set clear boundaries calmly and respectfully.
  • Highly organised, reliable, discreet and comfortable working in a busy household.
  • Happy to relocate to Abuja and live as part of the family's household.
  • Willing and able to travel with the family quarterly, sometimes at short notice.

Who This Role Would Suit

This position would suit a mature, grounded Governess who enjoys blending gentle structure with a warm, engaging approach to learning. It will appeal to someone happy to embrace life in Abuja, values the stability of a long-term, live-in role, and confidently supports a young girl's early development in both English and French while travelling regularly with an international family.
