Main Duties
Liaises with Purple Ski management and administrative staff, also with third party nanny agency in advance as necessary - ideally
by email, also by phone - to understand the needs of clients (number and ages of children. hours required, special requirements etc.).
Meets the parents and children on the day of their arrival in resort and plans the week ahead.
Looks after the children staying in a particular chalet, usually for a whole week at a time, while their parents are out skiing
for the day. Dependent on the number and ages of the children, you may be working alongside one or more other nannies.
Organises the children's day, including a variety of indoor and outdoor activities depending on the children's age and parents preferences.
(Some toys, games, books, sledges are available in the chalets, there is of course lots of snow outside, plus a public swimming pool
and ice rink, however you are also expected to provide arts & crafts materials).
Completes "daily diary", to be given to the parents each day, outlining what activities done, meals eaten etc.
Prepares nutritious snacks, drinks and lunch for the children as required, and clears and cleans away all pots, plans and dishes
etc. (Sometimes parents like to meet their children at a mountain restaurant - in which case you take them there and back.) In Purple
Ski chalets, ingredients will be made available for you to use for the children's lunches etc., but you must liaise with the parents
and then the chef to organise this in advance, and be aware of what the chef does not want you to use!
