Winter job a passion or chore? Merinannies have the answer!

 It’s that time of the year again, the days are getting shorter, the air is getting colder and you are thinking of your winter job/chore or fun.

Let’s face it, most of these Alpine jobs sound glorious but what happens when you are out there faced with reality? Your personal time is limited, your bed too small and you don’t get enough time on the mountain…what did you go for?!   

If you have a passion for snowsports you need to think carefully before you choose your winter job. And if you love kids, want so spend time making snowmen, messing about in the snowy woods, having hot chocolates and lunches up on the mountain, surrounding yourself with glittering Christmas trees and other like minded people….then we have a job for you in resorts that we pick with care.

We have only two positions available now in Megeve or Samoens

You get paid by the hour and you choose when to work !

All you need is childcare qualification of level 3 or above, three references, a clear CRB and lots of love for children!

For more information our jobs page explains why nannies come back year after year

MERINANNIES JOBS LIKE GOLDEN DUST

 

Five reasons why you should work for an agency rather than an employer: 

You feel confident enough to look after children unsupervised.

You genuinely love being around them, but want to work in a different environment so mountain life sounds appealing.

You want to explore or improve your winter sport and enjoy socialising with like minded people.

You want to have a say in your hours of work and have some free time to socialise.

You want to earn enough cash to enjoy yourself and save!  

Then we have the answer…join our dynamic team in France or Austria for a truly special winter adventure.

Due to many returning nannies we now have only two vacancies left for the coming winter, so send your cv, references and photos today!

A day in the life of a Merinanny...

FUN AT WORK   ....

 

I arrive at work on a very cold but beautiful sunny morning, today I have one child who is 3 and a half years old. After parents have gone off for the day the child and I have a play of her favourite game, chasing each other around on the floor pretending to be dogs! what an adventure.... and the sound making turns to lovely singing and more imaginative play...

After this we wrap up warm and off out on the sledge. As the chalet is right on the piste it's easy to pull her along on the sledge down to the village. We hop on the bus to Courchevel to do some sledging in the fun area they have there, as well as some building in the snow. Our favourites being dinosaurs and dogs!

After this I take her to soft play, she has a great time playing with others and we have a dance together in the disco room. Tired but not exhausted we head back down on the bubble and then  on to the sledge she goes and I pull her back to the chalet.

After lunch we do snow painting, which involves food colouring mixed with water in a squeezy bottle and then 'paint' the snow... It's a very popular activity!

By the time the parents return the little girl is very tired but happy and she excitedly shares her day with her mum and dad.
