About the Role

This is a hybrid Nanny + Family Assistant position designed for someone who thrives in structured environments and enjoys helping families maintain consistency, accountability, and smooth daily logistics.

The primary focus is supporting an active 11-year-old boy during his weeks in the home, with particular attention to routines, school accountability, sports coordination, and healthy tech habits.

This household operates within a co-parenting structure, with homes located approximately 10 minutes apart. The ideal candidate will bring emotional maturity, discretion, and steady leadership to the child’s daily routine.

While light household resets and errands are part of the role, this is not a housekeeping position. The core responsibilities revolve around child structure, family logistics, and reliable follow-through.

Key Responsibilities

Childcare, Routine & Development (Primary Focus)

Lead the afternoon and evening routine for the child, including:

School pickup
After-school snack and homework support
Coordination with tutor as needed
Transportation to sports practices and activities
Dinner routine and evening wind-down

Additional responsibilities include:

Creating and maintaining structured routines and weekly schedules
Supporting accountability systems such as chore charts or incentive tracking
Helping reinforce homework completion and behavioral expectations
Encouraging healthy alternatives to short-form media through reading, educational games, and structured activities
Helping implement consistent technology boundaries and device expectations

Meal preparation will focus on simple, consistent meals and snacks, while gradually introducing healthier options aligned with the child’s sports performance and activity level.

Driving & Sports Coordination

The child participates in an active sports schedule.

Responsibilities include:

Driving to and from sports practices and activities (basketball approximately four times per week)
Maintaining a clear sports calendar
Ensuring uniforms, gear, snacks, water, and timing are prepared in advance
Communicating scheduling needs or conflicts proactively

Family Assistant & Household Logistics

During the pre-pickup window, responsibilities may include:

Running errands such as groceries, dry cleaning, or returns
Maintaining household supplies and inventory
Supporting basic vehicle care coordination (fueling, car wash scheduling)
Light home resets such as tidying the child’s room, making beds, and maintaining common areas
Ensuring the home remains organized and functional for daily life

The role may also include setting up simple systems for tracking household supplies, pantry items, and household essentials.

Renovation & Project Support (As Needed)

The family currently has home projects underway.

Support may include:

Researching product options and pricing (furniture, décor, home items)
Coordinating vendor appointments or deliveries
Organizing quotes and invoices
Providing clear summaries to help the family make decisions

Tools & Communication

The household values clear communication and organized systems.

Tools may include:

Shared calendars for school, sports, and tutor scheduling
Weekly written recaps summarizing progress and upcoming needs
Simple tracking systems for household inventory, routines, and project tasks

Candidates may recommend tools such as Google Sheets, Notes, or Notion to keep systems clear and consistent.
