About the Family & Role
Are you energetic, highly organized, and passionate about creating a fun, structured, and nurturing environment for children? We are seeking an enthusiastic and proactive Mothers Helper/Household Manager to join our family!
We have two high-energy, wonderful children (ages 7 and 4) who thrive with clear routines, consistent schedules, and patient guidance. The ideal candidate is familiar with ADHD support, happy to work along side mom while she homeschools the children, skilled at reinforcing regulation skills, and loves bringing structure wrapped in fun! We also have a very gentle, sweet 4-year-old Yellow Lab (about 55 lbs) and a calico cat who mostly keeps to herself.
We view our nanny as a collaborative partner—we welcome your creative ideas, proactive suggestions, and initiative in guiding and teaching our children new skills!
What We Love to Do (And Hope You Do Too!)
We are an active family who loves the outdoors. The more outdoor time, the better!
- Adventures Await: Visiting local playgrounds, Jump Start, Slick City, hiking, biking, camping, and exploring new sports (baseball, soccer, winter activities, and whatever else you can dream up!).
- Indoor Fun: When the weather is cold or rainy, our home features an amazing indoor sport court ready for action, alongside toy and game organization with fun rotation schedules.Â
- Outdoor Fun: We have an inground pool that we enjoy during warm weather months. Our nanny MUST be ok with swimming with the kids.
Key Responsibilities
1. Childcare & Enrichment
- Supervise and care for two children, supporting homeschool teaching, activities, and routines.
- Plan and prepare nutritious children's and family meals.
- Manage daily schedules, including school drop-offs, pick-ups, and extracurricular activities.
- Plan engaging educational and recreational activities.
- Patiently teach, reinforce routines, and support emotional regulation and life skills.
- Manage hygiene routines, including bathing.
2. Household Management & Organization
- Oversee daily household operations to keep things running smoothly.
- Handle family and children's laundry, light housekeeping, vacuuming, and general tidying.
- Grocery shopping, managing supplies inventory, running errands, and administrative tasks (such as scheduling appointments and planning family events).
- Pet care (feeding/caring for our sweet Golden Lab).
What We're Looking For
- Experience & Background: Familiarity with ADHD and a strong background in childcare, education, or nanny management.
- Personality: Nurturing, responsible, highly organized, adaptable, and proactive. You take initiative and love collaborating!
- Requirements: Must provide your own reliable vehicle for transportation and errands.
- Swimming: Must be comfortable in the water with the children and knowledgeable on water safety.
- Availability: Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Occasional evening date nights (though we have other sitters) and rare potential overnights while parents are traveling.
If you are ready to make a meaningful impact and embark on a fun, active daily adventure with our family, we would love to hear from you!
