Weekday Nanny / Household Assistant for Newborn in West Portal

A family in West Portal is looking for a kind, capable, and team-oriented nanny / house assistant to join their family in caring for their three boys (primarily their newborn). This is a long-term position for someone who genuinely enjoys being with kids, is organized and flexible, and excited to be part of a busy, loving household.

Their children are 3 months, 2 and 4 years old with the older two in daycare and preschool. This person will primarily care for the baby and will have limited interaction with the older children but should be flexible and willing to care for them as needed. Responsibilities include planning age-appropriate activities and engaging in play, working on development, running occasional errands, light tidying, simple meal prep/cooking, family laundry, and organization.

The best person for them is discrete, team-oriented, proactive, and flexible. They value trust, calm, and curiosity in their home. Their boys are affectionate, playful, and full of energy — they love imaginative play, being outside, and one-on-one connection. They want to find someone who feels like a natural extension of their family — a true co-parent during busy times, and a steady, loving presence for their children.

Travel: Flexibility and willingness to travel with the family 1–2 months per year is strongly preferred.
