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.
