Nanny/Housekeeper Job Description

Private Family Seeking a Nanny/Housekeeper

We are a warm, organized, and disciplined family looking to hire a high-stamina nanny/housekeeper to assist with after-school care and household responsibilities.

The Ideal Candidate

They need someone who is energetic, efficient, and able to multitask. The children are 4 and 7.5 years old, and they are looking for a caregiver who is cautious, loving, and engaging. Since they maintain a clean and minimal home, they need a nanny/housekeeper who can keep up with daily household tasks and cook simple, healthy meals for the children. The husband and the wife also contribute to housekeeping in the late afternoon and evening, so they value teamwork and open communication.

The main challenge with past employees has been pace and stamina—we need someone who can keep up with an active household and complete tasks efficiently.
