Nanny

Role overview

This is a high-trust household manager position supporting a private family home in South Florida. The role is full-time or substantial part-time under a W-2 employment structure and is built for someone who can balance childcare support with hands-on household operations. Four children, ages 1, 3, 6, and 8, are homeschooled and present in the home during the day, so the work must continue smoothly around active family life.

The household has behind-the-scenes structure through checklists, procedures, inventory tools, and operational documents. The environment is lively, flexible, and child-centered rather than quiet, rigid, or highly formal. This position is not limited to nanny duties or house cleaning; it requires a candidate who is genuinely comfortable with children and equally willing to keep daily household work moving.

Schedule options

Several coverage patterns are being considered:

• Weekday morning shift: Monday to Friday, 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM or 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM.
• Weekday afternoon/evening shift: Monday to Friday, 2:30 PM to 11:00 PM.
• Weekend/Monday coverage: Saturday and Sunday, 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM, with Monday 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM possible for the right full-time arrangement.

Candidates within roughly one hour of the family home in South Florida are strongly preferred.

Travel and seasonal expectations

Summer coverage in New Jersey and occasional family travel may be part of the role. During summer travel periods, schedules may temporarily shift into a rotation-style format because of logistics.

What the job involves

This role blends childcare support, home operations, daily resetting, laundry, inventory control, meal and readiness prep, travel support, and clear communication within a systems-based private household. The successful candidate should support children warmly, follow established methods, and help the home run efficiently without trying to redesign the family’s routines or parenting approach.

Household culture

The family prefers an invisible structure rather than a rigid one. Procedures, standards, and source documents exist behind the scenes, but the home itself is meant to feel playful, flexible, and lived-in. Children are home throughout the day, so there are few uninterrupted work windows while they are awake. The right person can keep working responsibly in that setting and remains comfortable with parent-led standards.

Communication should be practical and low-friction: solve what can be solved, ask when an issue is sensitive or unclear, and avoid unnecessary commentary or unsolicited advice. Hands-on tasks such as laundry, resets, stocking, trash handling, errands, food preparation, and readiness tasks are core parts of the position.

Primary responsibilities

• Complete the daily checklist items assigned to the shift.
• Maintain tidy, reset standards across the kitchen, living spaces, bedrooms, bathrooms, homeschool areas, laundry area, and guest spaces.
• Carry out laundry according to household rules, including stain treatment, no-dry items, wet-clothes handling, and proper put-away.
• Keep active storage and inventory areas organized, stocked, and easy to scan.
• Sort mail and packages following the household’s routing process when assigned.
• Provide warm, attentive support for four young children through supervision, redirection, and calm engagement.
• Follow parent-defined routines and child-facing expectations rather than imposing a separate discipline style.
• Protect homeschool time, naps, transitions, meal times, and other safety-sensitive routines.
• Continue household tasks around the children whenever it is safe and practical to do so.
• Maintain the outdoor fridge and other food-readiness systems in line with written procedures.
• Prepare simple child meals and snacks, and handle standard household food prep as assigned.
• Keep the car and diaper bag stocked and ready so the family can leave without missing essentials.
• Support pet care routines listed in the daily checklist.
• Assist with inventory, purchasing, and ordering workflows when needed.
• Help with travel packing and trip readiness according to documented procedures.
• Coordinate routine vendor or service visits within approved boundaries when assigned.
• Use the household’s operations system and ChatGPT project for low-risk operational questions, drafting concise messages, and locating procedures before escalating to principals.
• Avoid using AI for medical, safety, water, driving, or emergency decisions.

Qualifications and fit

Strong applicants will bring at least three years of meaningful childcare experience, which may come from sibling care in a large family, babysitting, college childcare work, camp or church programs, school childcare, light nannying, family assistant work with children, or similar hands-on roles. The family is looking for someone who is comfortable doing physical household work without ego, can follow a chosen schedule lane, and can thrive in a homeschool home where interruptions are normal.

A valid driver’s license, a clean driving record, and the ability to be added to the family’s insurance are required. The role also calls for comfort with technology and willingness to use ChatGPT as part of the household operating system. Discretion is essential, and the selected candidate must be able to sign and follow confidentiality or NDA requirements. Current infant or child CPR and First Aid certification is preferred, and if not already current it must be completed within 90 days of the start date.

Working style and expectations

The ideal person is warm with children but not defined only by childcare. They should be service-oriented, coachable, quick to complete tasks, and comfortable following written systems closely. The job suits someone who stays calm in a lively, noisy, flexible, kid-centered home; works precisely from checklists; accepts direct feedback without defensiveness; and respects a conservative Christian, parent-led household environment.

Important note on fit

This role will not suit someone who wants a nanny-only position, expects rigid routines, prefers a polished or quiet estate-like setting, wants to give parenting advice, views physical household tasks as below them, needs constant verbal direction, reacts defensively to correction, or is uncomfortable honoring the family’s values, privacy, and discretion.

Compensation and benefits

Compensation is competitive and depends on the scope of the role, the schedule selected, and the candidate’s experience. Benefits include W-2 employment, PTO, health-insurance support where applicable, and approved vehicle, gas, and travel support for household-related work.

Additional information

The family’s best match is a high-energy, service-minded household operator who can support children with warmth, follow systems faithfully, and help preserve a flexible home environment without adding extra commentary or trying to reshape the household.
