We are looking for a reliable, energetic, and proactive Nanny / Household Assistant to join our family 2
- 3 days per week, with the opportunity for a long-term, year-round position for the right person.
Hours
2–3 days per week
Approximately 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM
Starting Summer 2026
Continuing year-round if it's a good fit
We'd love to find someone who becomes part of our family's support system long-term. In addition to regular daytime hours, we'd ideally like someone who is available for an occasional evening (about once per month) so we can sneak away for a date night.
About Our Family
We have three children ages 4, 7, and 9. During the summer, all three children will be home. Once school resumes in the fall, the primary focus will be our 4-year-old during school hours.
Our kids are active, creative, energetic, and love being outdoors. Some of our children have diagnosed ADHD & anxiety so we're looking for someone who is patient, calm, understanding, and able to provide supportive structure while still making the day fun and engaging.
I work from home and am available throughout the day, but I'm looking for someone who can confidently take initiative and help keep the day running smoothly. The kids are always welcome to come chat with me, but having someone who can help keep them engaged and busy while I'm working would be a huge help.
We also share our home with a friendly dog and two pet bunnies, so applicants should be comfortable around animals and willing to include them as part of daily family life.
What We're Looking For
We're hoping to find someone who is:
Playful and engaging with children
Calm, patient, and emotionally supportive
Organized and proactive
Comfortable taking initiative without needing constant direction
Creative with activities, crafts, and outdoor adventures
Comfortable around pets (we have a dog and two bunnies)
Experienced caring for children with varying needs and personalities
Responsible
This role will be approximately 70% childcare and 30% household support.
Childcare
Planning activities, crafts, and outdoor play
Keeping children active, engaged, and having fun
Supporting emotional regulation and positive routines
Taking children to local parks and activities when appropriate
Supervising and participating in play
Household Support
Meal preparation and occasional dinner preparation
Dishes and kitchen clean-up
Laundry
Tidying toys and common areas
Vacuuming and light household cleaning
Bathroom cleaning
School lunch preparation during the school year
There may also be opportunities for deeper cleaning or organizing projects on days when childcare responsibilities are lighter.
The Ideal Candidate
The biggest goal of this role is helping create a household that feels calm, organized, and functional.
This role is less about strict childcare and more about helping our household run smoothly. We're looking for someone who enjoys jumping into the flow of family life
- keeping kids engaged, helping with meals and household tasks, and creating a calm, organized environment while I work from home.
If you love planning fun activities, encouraging outdoor play, helping kids burn off energy, and taking pride in leaving a space better than you found it, we'd love to hear from you. Bonus points if you're an animal lover, because our dog and two bunnies are very much part of the family too
Please tell us about your childcare experience, relevant training, availability, and what makes you a great fit for this type of role.
