AUSTIN, TX- Family of 5 is looking for a full time nanny/house manager. The candidate will be overseeing three wonderful children (ages 3, 5 and 9) while managing household tasks and leading a collaborative team (co-nanny and housekeeper), creating an efficient and smooth-running home.
The ideal candidate is a warm, kind, patient, professional with a proactive and self-starting attitude. They are innately helpful, upbeat with great energy, and have a genuine passion for nurturing children and supporting family well-being. The successful candidate will be exceptionally detail-oriented in all aspects of childcare and household management, an excellent communicator who thrives both as a team player and leader, aspiring to become an integral part of this loving family. A “No task too big or small” outlook is a vital quality for this role.
Given the busy careers of both parents and the children’s school/after school schedule, the candidate should be able to seamlessly transition between childcare and family/household assistant responsibilities. We would love to meet someone who has the ability to intuitively discern and proactively address the family’s needs. Daytime responsibilities will include running errands, grocery shopping, meal prep, keeping inventory of children’s needs/food, handling kids laundry, managing children’s wardrobes, organization projects, managing vendors, travel coordination, keeping track of household supplies, etc. Afternoons will primarily involve childcare duties, including school pickups, extracurricular coordination, playdate supervision, homework assistance, outdoor activities, and evening routines. Ideal candidates will have prior experience working in this capacity. This role is not for those unsure about their career path; rather, it is for someone eager to support the family’s growth and changes over the years. This is a dream job and dream family!
