British nanny looking for new job or to start 'maman de jour/childminding' business - Can anyone help please?!

Hello Everyone, 


I am a British nanny who is looking for a new position to start in January. Preferably I am looking for full time however I am open to accepting multiple part time or nanny share positions.


If I can not find work then I am interested in starting my own 'maman de jour/childminding' business. Has anyone done this or have insight into doing this? And most importantly would anyone be interested in this service? 


I have over 2 years’ experience in childcare, the last 6 months working as a nanny for a Swiss family with 2 children aged 2 and 4 years old. Unfortunately this position now ends at the end of December. Before this I worked for 8 months working as a nanny for a family with a baby who was 2 weeks old when I started and an older child who was 3 years old. Before working as a nanny I worked in a day nursery in the baby room and I have also worked in a ski resort holiday nursery. Whilst working in the nursery I started gaining my experience to become a nanny by working a few days a week with a family whose child was 1 when I started. I carried on working for them when I started my full time nanny job and was with them for 18 months.


I hold a CACHE Level 2, Award, Certificate and Diploma in Childcare and Education.


I hold a full clean English driving license and am pediatric first aid trained.


I hold an enhanced CRB disclosure and nanny insurance. 


I speak basic French, German and Italian however since being in Switzerland my French and German has improved and I am currently taking classes for French.


I have a 'B' permit and health insurance and I really do not want to return to the UK so please help!


I am more than willing to send my C.V to people who are interested. Please do not hesitate to contact me for more information.


I look forward to hearing from some of you soon.


Thanks in advance for your help!

Dear Lauren,  We are probably looking for a nanny starting in January.  Are you interested in a live-in situation?  Or a commute situation?  We are in Ferney-Voltaire, in France.  We don't know whether you are okay to work in France or what a B permit is.  We are from the U.S. and here temporarily (~6 months more) so this would not be a permanent situation for you, however.  Please write back.  (I just joined glocals, is it possible to send private messages for details?)

Hi Lauren


I am looking for an au-pair / nanny starting early January to help look after my little toddler, 18 months old.  At the moment I live in Verbier, but will be relocating for January - to either Geneva or Nyon.  If you would be so kind as to initially reply if you are interested in progressing this discussion that would be appreciated.


Please send a private message to me.


With kind regards


Michelle
