Position Overview A family with three children — ages 9, 12, and 14 — is seeking an experienced, reliable part-time Nanny to join their household on a long-term basis. This is an afternoon-focused position centered on after-school care: driving the children to and from activities, preparing family meals, assisting with homework, and keeping the children's schedules and belongings organized.
The ideal candidate is a confident, safe driver who enjoys school-age children, is comfortable in a busy afternoon routine, and takes initiative without needing direction. This position works alongside an existing household employee, so a collaborative, team-oriented approach is essential.
