Position Overview

A family is seeking an experienced, organized, full-time live-out House Manager / Nanny to care for their 5-year-old son and maintain their home. The role is structured around the school day: mornings and early afternoons are dedicated to managing the household and meal preparation, transitioning to childcare in the afternoon.

The nanny will depart the home by 2:30 PM for a 3:00 PM school pickup, return home with their son, provide an after-school snack, and engage with him through the late afternoon while finishing dinner. Dinner is ready for the family at 6:00 PM.

The home is approximately 3,700 square feet plus a finished basement. Household tasks follow a planned daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly schedule — for example, window cleaning or pantry organization — and are completed at a comfortable pace throughout the day. Groceries are delivered. There is one dog in the home, and additional household members reside in an attached in-law suite.

A vehicle is provided for all role-related driving, and on-site parking is available. This is a long-term position.
