For a Nanny who thrives on keeping everything running like clockwork, this is a dynamic and rewarding position within a prominent private household in Doha. The family is seeking an exceptionally organised, energetic and proactive Nanny/Governess to take the lead in coordinating the busy lives of two girls aged 15 and 10, ensuring their education, extracurricular activities and social commitments are managed seamlessly. The girls have distinct personalities and interests, making this a role that calls for adaptability, enthusiasm and an intuitive approach. The 15-year-old is initially quiet and reserved but becomes a wonderful conversationalist once comfortable. She has a keen interest in art and enjoys expressing herself creatively. Her younger sister, aged 10, is confident, outspoken and full of energy, with a passion for gymnastics, swimming and sport. The successful candidate will enjoy getting involved, encouraging their individual interests and helping both girls develop confidence, independence and positive routines. Organisation is at the heart of this position. The Nanny will take ownership of the girls’ schedules, coordinating tutors, coaches, drivers, appointments, extracurricular activities and social arrangements. There are also two older teenage boys within the family, aged 17 and 15, who are not the primary responsibility of this role. However, someone comfortable keeping an eye on their schedules when required would be a valuable addition to the household.
