British Passport & Recognised British Childcare Qualification Essential
Burlington Nannies is delighted to be representing a lovely private family based in the beautiful Cayman Islands, who are seeking an accomplished, highly qualified and experienced British nanny to care for their two young children, aged 2 years and 3 months.
This is a wonderful opportunity for a dedicated career nanny who is passionate about early childhood development and enjoys creating a stimulating, nurturing and happy environment in which children can thrive.
The family are looking for someone warm, engaging and energetic, with a natural affinity for babies and toddlers. You will be confident in taking responsibility for the children’s daily care, routines and developmental needs, bringing creativity, enthusiasm and a thoughtful approach to their upbringing.
Working Monday to Friday within a fully staffed private household, you will provide attentive, developmentally focused care while working collaboratively with the parents and established household team.
Initially, you will share a bedroom with the baby during the working week. A particularly attractive aspect of this position is the separate private apartment provided by the family for your weekends off, allowing you to enjoy your own space and make the most of island life.
The household employs additional staff, including a nanny/housekeeper, so there are no formal nursery duties associated with the role. However, you will naturally be expected to maintain a tidy, organised and welcoming environment for the children.
Key Responsibilities
Providing attentive, loving and developmentally appropriate care for both children.
Establishing and maintaining positive routines around feeding, sleep, play and daily activities.
Planning creative, stimulating and age-appropriate activities that encourage learning and development.
Supporting the children’s physical, emotional, social and cognitive development.
Encouraging curiosity, independence, confidence and positive behaviour.
Monitoring and supporting important developmental milestones.
Organising the children’s diaries, appointments, outings and activities.
Maintaining excellent communication with the parents and wider household team.
Travelling internationally with the family, including to their additional European residences.
Ensuring the children’s safety, happiness and wellbeing at all times.
The Ideal Candidate
The family are seeking a polished, knowledgeable and genuinely nurturing nanny who combines excellent professional childcare experience with warmth, energy and a positive outlook.
You will have a natural ability to engage young children, understand their individual needs and provide a reassuring, consistent presence within their daily lives.
Essential Requirements:
A British passport.
A recognised British childcare qualification, such as Norland, NNEB, BTEC, a relevant childcare degree or equivalent.
Substantial professional experience caring for babies and toddlers.
Excellent knowledge of infant care, early years education and child development.
A warm, compassionate and engaging personality.
A proactive, organised and confident approach to childcare.
Excellent communication skills and a professional manner.
Previous experience or confidence working within a fully staffed private household.
Discretion, flexibility and the ability to work harmoniously alongside other household staff.
The emotional intelligence to recognise when to take initiative and when to respect the family’s privacy.
Willingness to travel internationally.
A confident driver would be advantageous.
Accommodation & Working Arrangements
The successful nanny will be based in the Cayman Islands, working Monday to Friday with weekends off.
During the working week, accommodation will be provided within the family residence, initially sharing a bedroom with the baby.
For Saturday and Sunday, the nanny will have access to a separate private apartment provided by the family, returning to the main residence on Monday morning.
The position also involves international travel, including time spent at the family’s European properties.
An Exciting International Opportunity
With a highly competitive salary of US$150,000–US$180,000 gross per annum, this is an exciting opportunity for an experienced, professionally qualified British nanny looking to further their career within a welcoming and established private household.
The role offers the chance to make a meaningful contribution to two young children’s early years while enjoying life in one of the Caribbean’s most beautiful destinations.
