About the Family
Warm, active family seeking a dependable and energetic Housekeeper/Nanny to support their home and two boys: an active 18-month-old and a 14-year-old. The toddler thrives with hands-on engagement and outings, while the teen needs light homework support and rides to activities. A professional housekeeper handles deep cleaning twice weekly, so this role focuses on childcare and daily household flow, not heavy cleaning.
Responsibilities:
Childcare:
- Engage the toddler in age-appropriate play, activities, and outings
- Manage morning routines (bathing, dressing, readiness)
- Prepare meals and snacks for the children
- Assist with homework support and gym drop-offs for the teen
- Drive children to and from school and activities
- Coordinate playdates and enriching experiences
- Provide clear, consistent updates to parents
Household Support:
- Daily tidying of common areas and children’s spaces
- Family laundry, including linens
- Making beds and changing linens
- Organizing closets and laundry areas
- Maintaining household order (deep cleaning handled separately)
- Run errands (dry cleaning, post office, shopping)
- Occasional grocery shopping and meal prep
- Accept deliveries
- Pet care including morning feeding, walks, daily grooming, and coordinating annual vet visits
Ideal Candidate: You’re warm, upbeat, and genuinely enjoy kids. You’re active, reliable, and comfortable getting out of the house with a toddler. You take initiative, communicate well, and don’t need to be micromanaged. You’re punctual, organized, and looking for a consistent, long-term role.
Requirements:
- Previous nanny or nanny/housekeeper experience with references
- Valid driver’s license and clean driving record
- Comfortable driving children (family vehicle provided)
- CPR/First Aid certified (or willing to obtain)
- Clean background
