This warm, active family with two boys, ages 8 and 5, is seeking a proactive and organized Family Assistant/Nanny to join their team. They value strong connections with their community, spending quality time with friends and family both near and far, and living an active lifestyle—whether that’s playing sports in the yard, hiking, or just getting messy together. You’ll also find their yard decorated for every holiday and birthday! Health and wellness are a priority for this family, and they hope to find someone who shares these same values and will complement their approach to raising their children.

The parents are looking for a professional who can take ownership of household operations, manage day-to-day tasks seamlessly, and be a warm, positive presence for their boys. The ideal candidate is energetic, intentional, and proactive, with the ability to work autonomously while collaborating with parents as part of the “team.” Someone who enjoys being active with kids, thrives in a busy household, and shares the family’s commitment to health, wellness, and quality time together will feel right at home in this role.
