About Caring Blocks

Caring Blocks is Nigeria's all-access membership to a thoroughly vetted, highly trained, and professionally supported caregiving workforce. We serve modern Nigerian families with world-class nannies, postpartum specialists, chefs, chauffeurs, household managers, and eldercare professionals. Through a blend of care, convenience, and class, we match families with certified care professionals while handling hiring, contracts, HR, and ongoing support.

As a Professional Nanny+, you join an exceptional group of childcare professionals who deliver not just care, but specialized, combo-trained support tailored to the evolving needs of modern households. Rather than overwhelming one caregiver with too many tasks, each Nanny+ is certified in a specific dual-role combination, ensuring focused, high-quality service.

Role Overview

The Professional Nanny+ provides nurturing, structured, and developmentally appropriate childcare while performing a second specialized function depending on their designated combination (e.g., Nanny–Teacher/Tutor, Nanny–Cook, Nanny–Housekeeper, Nanny–Special Needs, Nanny–Newborn/Toddler, or Nanny–Family Assistant).

This role requires strong childcare expertise, emotional intelligence, and the ability to manage routines that support children's growth, safety, and wellbeing. The ideal candidate is warm, organized, proactive, and able to deliver excellence in both caregiving and their secondary specialization.
