About The Position

Two involved, loving parents are seeking an experienced, full-time weekend Nanny/Family Assistant to care for their two young children, ages 4 months and 2 years. The anticipated baseline schedule is Saturday and Sunday from 12 to 8 p.m.; the family is open to additional hours for the right candidate. Occasional later evenings may be needed, though this is not a requirement. The family is open to live-in or live-out arrangements and has dedicated staff accommodations in the home. They hope to establish a long-term relationship with someone who feels valued and respected and enjoys becoming part of the family. The role combines attentive childcare with household and family-assistant duties. The nanny will work collaboratively with the parents, establish consistent routines, support the children’s development, and communicate proactively about their activities, schedules, and needs. When the parents are caring for the children, the assistant may help with food preparation, laundry, household organization, errands, and general household resets. The candidate should be flexible for occasional schedule extensions and travel to the family’s summer residence; international travel is preferred. The stated rate is $45 per hour, open to discussion for the right candidate.
