An exceptional opportunity to become a trusted companion and positive role model to a delightful young girl whilst experiencing life in one of the Middle East’s most vibrant and cosmopolitan cities. Based in beautiful Jeddah, this is a unique role for an experienced, emotionally intelligent nanny who enjoys building meaningful relationships with older children. More companion than traditional nanny, you’ll play an important role in supporting a bright, independent and thoughtful 10-year-old girl as she navigates the exciting transition into her tween years. This young girl is bright, kind-hearted and engaging and spent her early childhood living in London before moving to Jeddah. She attends a British school and is fluent in English. She is compassionate, well-liked by her peers and happiest with a good book in her hands, particularly detective stories. She has a wonderful imagination, an emerging interest in fashion and personal style, and a naturally independent personality. This is very much a companion role. She doesn’t need someone constantly entertaining or supervising her; she needs someone who will genuinely enjoy spending time with her, talking about books, encouraging her interests, supporting her confidence and becoming a trusted, positive influence in her daily life. This is a long-term position with a warm, cultured family who are looking for someone to become a valued part of their household.
