Job Description

First-time parents are seeking an exceptional temporary travel nanny to care for their 5-month-old infant. The contract will run from June 15 through August 30, 2026, beginning in Puerto Rico—where the family’s newborn care specialist will provide a comprehensive handover—and transitioning to Portugal on June 21. The typical schedule will be 7am–8pm, Monday through Friday, plus one weekend day (6 days per week). The nanny will be provided with a 1-hour paid lunch break each day.
