A warm and active family with four children, ages 8, 6, 3, and 1 year (two girls and two boys), is seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic Mother’s helper to join their household. Working alongside a stay-at-home mother, this role involves a tag-team approach to childcare, ensuring a supportive and dynamic environment. The position requires availability from Monday to Friday, 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM, totaling approximately 30 hours per week, with occasional weekend hours for date nights. The family is open to travel 1-2 times per year, though it is not a requirement; having a passport is beneficial. A car is necessary for commuting to work, and a family car will be available for on-the-job use. The household includes a large dog, who requires no additional care, and has no dietary restrictions.
This fall, the children's schedules include the youngest attending school from 8:30 to 11:30 AM, the 3-year-old from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM, and the older two children participating in a homeschool co-op from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM, which aligns with the part-time hours needed. The role includes light meal preparation, toy tidying, and basic home organization and tidying tasks. The family maintains a no screen-time policy during the week and is looking for a nanny who is creative, cheerful, loving, playful, firm yet fun, and organized. While a Montessori background is preferred, it is not mandatory. Candidates with an international background are highly valued. The start date is flexible to ensure finding the right fit for their nurturing and well-organized home.
