As part of a long-term collaboration, we are recruiting, on behalf of a warm and open-minded Swiss family – sensitive to other cultures and based in Renens (near Lausanne) – a reliable and motivated individual to care for their two young children (aged 3 months and 2 years) and to carry out daily housekeeping duties, contributing to the smooth functioning of the home.

Preferred start date: ideally September 1, 2025, at the latest by the end of September.

She will also contribute to the children’s development through age-appropriate activities such as play, reading, walks.

This part of the role will represent approximately 80% of her duties. Well-organized and able to prioritize tasks, she will dedicate the remainder of her working time to household chores aimed at maintaining cleanliness, order and laundry care (washing, ironing) within the family home.
