Position Overview

A private family in Livingston, NJ is seeking a warm, patient, and experienced Live-Out Nanny / Family Assistant to care for three children, ages 3, 7, and 9.

The family’s 7-year-old son is on the spectrum and has a dedicated aide who works with him daily after school. The nanny will not be responsible for independently managing the specialized care; however, the hired individual must be naturally warm, nurturing, and open to building a positive relationship. The 7-year-old is affectionate, highly verbal, silly, and thrives with someone patient and kind.

This is a long-term opportunity for a responsible, communicative professional who works well alongside involved parents and additional support staff.

• Support after-school routines, homework, and extracurricular activities

• Transport children to and from school and local activities (nanny must use their own vehicle for pickups and outings; mileage reimbursement can be discussed)
• Supervise homework and encourage structured, positive routines
• Maintain tidy and organized children’s areas, bedrooms, and play spaces
• Handle children’s laundry and wardrobe organization
• Communicate consistently with parents regarding schedules, school updates, and daily routines
• Provide occasional flexibility for schedule adjustments when needed

Qualifications

• Minimum 3–5 years of professional nanny experience in a private home
• Excellent references from previous employers
• Experience working with children on the autism spectrum is a plus (though independent management is not required)
• Warm, patient, emotionally intelligent, and nurturing demeanor
• Strong communication and organizational skills
• Responsible, proactive, and reliable
• Must have a valid driver’s license and clean driving record
• Must use personal vehicle for school pickups and local activities
• Authorized to work in the U.S.
