About Our Family & The Role
We are looking for a proactive, high-EQ, and reliable Family Assistant / Nanny to partner with our family! We have two active, independent kids (ages 9 and 12) who spend much of their afternoon in extracurriculars, sports practices, or hanging out with neighborhood friends.
Because the kids are increasingly self-sufficient, this position goes beyond traditional childcare—we’re seeking a collaborative household manager and partner who can anticipate needs, keep our home running smoothly, and build strong, supportive relationships with our kids.
Key Responsibilities

• Childcare & Support:
  
  
  • After-school pick-ups and driving to/from practices and activities
• • Homework help, tutoring support, and engaging in educational or curriculum-based activities
• • Connecting with the kids at their level, fostering open communication, and holding supportive, consistent boundaries/rules
•  
• Household Management & Prepping:
  
  
  • Meal prep: Cooking nutritious meals for the kids and family (we love someone eager to try out new recipes!)
• • Laundry: Managing family and children’s laundry
• • Light housekeeping: Vacuuming, tidying up, and keeping main living spaces organized
• • Errands: Handling grocery shopping and general household errands as needed
•  

What We’re Looking For

• High Emotional Intelligence (EQ): Excellent communication skills, empathetic, and capable of understanding middle-school/pre-teen dynamics.
• Proactive & Intuitive: Someone who takes initiative, sees what needs to be done around the house, and jumps in to help without needing step-by-step direction.
• Open & Clear Communicator: Shares regular observations, updates, and ideas with parents.
• Resilient & Grounded: Confident in reinforcing family rules with positive fortitude.
• Reliable Transportation: Own personal, reliable vehicle with a clean driving record for carpooling and errands.
• Pet-Free: No pets in the home.

How to Apply
If you are an organized, warm, and energetic professional who loves working with school-aged kids and keeping a household flowing smoothly, we’d love to connect! Please submit your resume and a brief introduction detailing your relevant experience.
