Overview:
A busy family is hiring a dependable, proactive nanny for a long-term split-shift position. The role centers on school-day support for two school-age children. In the mornings, the nanny will help the kids get out the door and handle school drop-offs. In the afternoons, the nanny will do pickups and manage the after-school routine, including homework help, activities and keeping the kids engaged rather than on screens. Strong time management and safe, confident driving are essential. The family is looking for someone who reads the room, takes initiative and keeps the household running smoothly without being asked. Light cooking is a welcome bonus, and the home includes a friendly family dog. The family expects to travel more in the future and may invite the nanny to join, with their own room and travel arrangements covered. A vehicle and a gas/expense card are provided for work driving. This position offers consistency, long-term stability and a family that values clear, open communication.
