Unique Opportunity in Munich: Support a Motivated IB Student in a Family Environment
Pedagogically Trained Live-in Guardian & Mentor-Tutor
📍 Location: Gräfelfing, Munich, Germany
📅 Duration: September 2025 – June 2026 (with possibility to extend)

About Us
We are an Australian family living between Munich and Melbourne. Our daughter Holly has recently started Grade 11 in the IB Diploma Programme at Munich International School (MIS). She is a bright, independent, and motivated student who enjoys her friends, swimming, and exploring new opportunities. As parents, we travel frequently for work, and we are seeking a trusted live-in guardian to provide stability, academic oversight, and a supportive presence during the school year.

About the Role
This is a bespoke guardianship and mentoring role, not a traditional nanny position.
The successful candidate will:
– Provide structure, academic oversight, and encouragement for Holly.
– Monitor homework and study routines, ensuring accountability.
– Act as a liaison with school/teachers when required.
– Support healthy routines, including simple meal preparation.
– Serve as a role model and supportive adult presence.
– Holly is highly independent and does not require daily childcare. The focus is on mentorship, stability, and academic support.
Lifestyle & Benefits
– Location: Gräfelfing, one of Munich’s most desirable suburbs (excellent S-Bahn links, safe, green, family-oriented).
– Accommodation: Private bedroom and bathroom within the family home.
– Salary: Generous, negotiable based on experience.
– Expenses: Basic food and all household costs covered.
– Flexibility: Candidate may maintain other professional commitments (teaching, tutoring, remote work, etc.) while fulfilling live-in mentoring duties.
– Commitment: While substantial time off is provided when parents are present, there may be periods when support is required up to 7 days per week (for example, during exam preparation or when parents are abroad).

– Responsible, trustworthy, and mature
– Pedagogically trained or with a strong background in teaching, tutoring, mentoring, or youth guidance
