Creativity and initiative are particularly important for this role. The nannies should have a good knowledge of Cannes and the surrounding area, and be able to prepare a varied and exciting activity plan for the children. This may include age-appropriate outings such as pottery workshops, horse riding, playgrounds, beach activities, creative classes, parks, games, and other child-friendly local experiences.
