Position Overview:

Hello, Nanny!®, a boutique nanny agency, is actively seeking an experienced, adaptable, and highly organized professional for a wonderful family in Paducah, KY. This family of three young daughters is expecting a baby girl, and this is a rare hybrid opportunity combining hands-on childcare — including newborn care — with family assistant and household management responsibilities, all with 40 guaranteed hours and legal, on-the-books pay. The household is professionally managed and well-organized: the search is being coordinated by the family's chief of staff, and the right candidate will step into a structured, supportive environment where their role is clearly defined and genuinely valued. Live-in accommodations make this an excellent fit for a career household professional seeking a stable, long-term position — including candidates open to relocating ahead of a February 2027 start.

• Comfortable in a home with a small dog and cat

Family Assistant

• Family calendar and appointment coordination

• [confirm additional duties — school runs, travel support, etc.]

Household Management

• Oversee the smooth day-to-day running of the home

• Vendor scheduling and coordination

• Household organization, inventory, and supply management

• [confirm scope — meal prep for family? housekeeping expectations vs. cleaning staff?]

The Ideal Candidate:

• Minimum of 3 years of professional childcare / household experience (agency requirement)

• Newborn care experience strongly preferred; NCS training or certification a plus

• Experience caring for multiple young children at once

• Comfortable in a hybrid role — flexible, proactive, and able to shift between childcare and household duties seamlessly

• Open to a live-in arrangement (or local to Western Kentucky)

• Comfortable with pets (small dog and cat)

• Up-to-date CPR/First Aid certification (or willingness to update)

• Punctual, mature, discreet, and consistently reliable
