Full-Time Nanny/Family Assistant | Princeton, NJ

A warm, professional family in Princeton, NJ is seeking an experienced, long-term Nanny / Family Assistant.

The family has an energetic and engaging 8-year-old son and is looking for a career nanny who will initially focus on his care while assisting with family assistant responsibilities during school hours. Once the new baby arrives, the role will naturally transition into primarily caring for the newborn while continuing to support their older son after school.

The family would ideally love to find a candidate who is open to working a part-time schedule until March. However, they understand that many exceptional career nannies are seeking full-time employment and are happy to provide full-time hours for the right long-term candidate prior to the baby's arrival if needed.

Childcare will always remain the primary focus of this position, while family assistant responsibilities are intended to support the household during school hours and will naturally lessen once the newborn arrives.
