Fluent English or Spanish nanny -Governess needed NYC and Costa Rica #506602
Kinder Nannies & StaffA warm and adventurous family based in Nosara, Costa Rica is seeking an experienced live\-in bilingual nannyâeducator to join their household and provide nurturing, educational care for their two young children, aged one and three. This is a wonderful opportunity for a professional nanny or early years educator who thrives in a globally minded, child\-centred environment and enjoys combining travel, education and care.
<\/p>
The family values joyful discovery, creativity, empathy and global citizenship, and are looking for a candidate who shares their vision of raising confident, curious and kind children. Their parenting approach is respectful and responsive, focused on experiential learning and gentle guidance. They encourage exploration through play, art, nature and meaningful cultural experiences, fostering independence and emotional intelligence from an early age.
<\/p>
The role is predominantly shared care, working alongside the parents and within a fully staffed household that includes two nannies and domestic support. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in early childhood education, ideally trained in Montessori, Waldorf or Reggio Emilia philosophies, and hold at least eight yearsâ experience caring for toddlers and preschool\-aged children.
<\/p>
Day to day, the nanny will plan and lead engaging activities tailored to each childâs developmental stage, nurture social\-emotional growth and support healthy routines. The childrenâs days are filled with creativity, storytelling, music and outdoor play, and the family appreciates someone who can integrate these interests into a balanced and enriching routine. Comfort with dietary considerations, pets and mindful living is essential, as is the ability to adapt to both rural and urban settings.
<\/p>
The position involves international travel to destinations including New York, Madrid and other parts of Europe, so flexibility and cultural openness are key. Fluency in English is essential, and Spanish would be an advantage. The nanny will be provided with a private, self\-contained flat within the familyâs Costa Rican home and will join a kind, collaborative and forward\-thinking household that values respect, professionalism and joy in daily life.
<\/p>
This role will suit someone warm, creative and highly experienced, who finds fulfilment in inspiring curiosity and confidence in children while embracing the adventure of family life around the world.
