This Is the Ultimate Nanny Job Abroad — If You're Not Afraid of Ghosts
If you’re looking for a new gig with excellent pay in a gorgeous location in Scotland, then we have the job for you. Just don’t ask what happened to the five people who held the job before you.
A new job listing, posted by a family on Childcare UK, is seeking a full-time, live-in nanny to watch over their two children, aged five and seven, at their home in a small village in the Scottish Borders.
“We have a lovely, spacious, historic property in a remote spot with spectacular views,” the listing reads. The ad additionally explains the nanny’s duties would include preparing breakfast, getting the children ready for school, dropping off and picking up from school, and assisting after school, including helping with homework and getting them ready for bed.
For this, the family is offering an annual salary of £50,000, or about $63,840, along with 28 vacation days, plus all bank holidays. Considering the average nanny salary in the area usually runs at £24,000, this position sounds like a dream. So what’s the catch? Oh yeah, the house is totally haunted and the parents want you to stay there by yourself sometimes. All alone. In the Scottish wilderness.
