About The Position

East Wind Nannies is seeking a full-time nanny/family assistant for a family in Canfield, Ohio, caring for two school-age children. The family hopes to find someone who can become a trusted part of their lives for several years. The role centers on weekday morning childcare and household support, with flexibility for additional afternoons and occasional Saturdays. The family is open to a monthly guaranteed-hours arrangement, allowing hours to shift between mornings, afternoons, and Saturdays with advance planning. Summer hours may increase, though the family is also open to additional summer support. The standard weekday morning routine is 6:00–10:00 AM, helping the children get dressed, fed, organized, and onto the bus around 8:15 AM. The remaining morning time is spent resetting the house, including cleaning up breakfast, managing laundry, vacuuming, tidying common areas, running occasional errands, and assisting with light family dinner preparation. During periods when the mother's work schedule is especially demanding, generally one week each month, the family may need afternoon coverage, usually between 2:00 and 6:00 PM. Afternoon duties include greeting the children after school, helping with activities, keeping the afternoon on track, and preparing for the next day. The children enjoy music, hockey, piano, soccer, drawing, ballet, and outdoor activities. The parents encourage exploration, creativity, independence, and time outdoors, with limited screen use. Activities may include bike rides, hikes, art projects, library visits, and trips to the children's museum. The family values a reliable, punctual, proactive, personable, and playful caregiver who can maintain appropriate authority, communicate openly, use good judgment, and take initiative in supporting the household.
