Job Description

This is not a casual babysitting job.
This is a career-level nanny + household role for someone who takes pride in running a home like a well-oiled machine and caring for kids with intention, warmth, and skill.

If you’re the kind of nanny who:

• Shows up early

• Notices the details others miss

• Thinks two steps ahead

• Loves structure and fun

If you’re often late, wing your days, or see “house care” as beneath you - this won’t be a fit.

Compensation

• $32–$40/hour, based on experience, skill set, and fit.

• Paid on a weekly basis.

• Long-term stability with a respectful, professional family.

• Drive children to school (15–20 min drive. Drop-off by 7:50 AM).

Afternoon Shift: 2:30 PM – 6:30 PM

You help the family make space for maximum quality time in the evening by taking care of the household tasks in the afternoon.

Your afternoon responsibilities:

• Light housekeeping -children’s areas, kitchen, bed-making, dining cleanup. A cleaner comes on a weekly basis as well.

• Daily 1 load laundry: wash, dry, fold, and put away.

• Feed cats per schedule.
