Inside Their World: 

A warm, fun-loving family is excited to welcome an experienced nanny/family assistant into their busy and active household. With two wonderful school aged boys, growing business responsibilities, and a calendar filled with activities, the parents are looking for someone who can bring a thoughtful balance of engaging childcare, organization, and dependable day-to-day support.

Their oldest son, 8, is a kindhearted, imaginative, and energetic boy who enjoys sports, cars, spending time with friends, and creative play. He has a thoughtful, sometimes reserved personality, and his parents are encouraging him to continue building confidence in social settings. His younger brother, 5, is an outgoing, athletic, and adventurous little boy who approaches new experiences with enthusiasm. He's adaptable, caring, and loves staying active.

Both boys enjoy spending time outdoors, playing sports, exploring new places, and making memories with family and friends. Their parents would love someone who can encourage their individual interests, nurture their confidence, and make everyday experiences both fun and meaningful.

Family Environment: 

This is a lively, welcoming household where kindness, respect, and genuine relationships are deeply valued. Mom is social, fun-loving, and enjoys hosting, while Dad is hardworking, thoughtful, and grounded. The family loves spending time outdoors, attending activities, traveling, and gathering with friends. 

Both parents have demanding schedules and are frequently between home and their businesses. They remain actively involved in their children's lives and are looking for someone who can confidently support their routines while bringing organization and consistency to the household.

Their parenting approach emphasizes good manners, integrity, age-appropriate boundaries, and plenty of fun. They value individuals who can communicate openly, exercise sound judgment, and work independently without constant supervision.

Who Thrives Here: 

This position is ideal for an experienced, well-rounded nanny/family assistant who brings maturity, sound judgment, natural warmth, and wonderful energy into a home. The family gravitates toward someone educated, outgoing, down-to-earth, and genuinely caring. They value strong character and real-life, hands-on experience far more than an overly polished presentation. The right candidate will enjoy being an active participant in the children's lives, whether that means throwing a football outside, encouraging imaginative play, organizing a playdate, or helping the boys explore new interests. Someone who understands the importance of both nurturing and challenging children, while supporting their independence and confidence, will be especially well suited to this family.

Equally important is a natural ability to anticipate needs and take ownership. The parents are looking for someone who can quickly learn their routines, recognize what needs attention, and confidently move between responsibilities without requiring constant direction. An inherently organized, resourceful, and adaptable professional who enjoys making life easier for others will find this role particularly rewarding.

Above all, this family hopes to welcome someone honest, respectful, discreet, and easy to be around. A candidate who can build genuine relationships while maintaining professional boundaries and respecting the family's privacy will thrive.

Daily Rhythm: 

This is a blended nanny and family assistant position, with responsibilities naturally shifting throughout the day. Earlier hours will primarily focus on family assisting, household organization, errands, and administrative support. As the boys finish school and transition into their afternoon and evening activities, the focus will shift toward childcare, transportation, engaging activities, and maintaining their routines. 

The family is especially interested in someone comfortable working across different environments and responsibilities. Prior bookkeeping experience would be a welcome bonus, although strong organizational skills, comfort with numbers, and a willingness to learn are more important. This individual may also be required to provide occasional weekend assistance, overnight care, and travel with the family, all of which will be planned in advance.

Qualifications: 

• Minimum of 3 years of professional childcare experience, preferably with school-aged children
• Family assistant, personal assistant, or household management experience preferred
• Strong organizational skills and ability to work independently
• Flexibility for occasional weekends, overnights, and travel
• Comfortable with administrative tasks and basic financial organization
• Valid Driver's License
• Clean driving record & ability to pass a background check
• Valid passport & availability to travel with the family, if needed

This position is open to candidates who are legally authorized to work in the United States. 

Out of respect for the privacy and confidentiality of the families we represent, we are unable to provide additional details beyond what is included in the job description at this stage of the process.
