Part-Time Nanny/Family Assistant — Morning Superhero Wanted

Location: Holly Ridge, NC

Pay: $18 to $23/hr DOE

Hours: Typically 25 hrs/week - Guaranteed 20 hours

Schedule: M-F 7:00am to 12pm

Start Date: Early May

An active, on‑the‑go family of four (+ 2 sweet dogs) is seeking a playful, proactive Nanny/Family Assistant to join their team and help guide their energetic 4‑ and 5‑year‑old boys through smooth, happy mornings. Mom is an active‑duty nurse preparing for deployment later this spring, so they’re hoping to welcome someone in early May to ensure a gentle, well‑supported transition for the whole family.

WHAT YOUR DAY WILL INCLUDE:

The mornings belong to the boys — getting two adventurous kids ready for school and out the door takes someone who's organized, energetic, and not easily rattled by a missing shoe or a last-minute meltdown. Once the kids are dropped off, the role shifts to household support: laundry, tidying, errands, and keeping the household running smoothly while dad works from home and mom is deployed.

The majority of the work week is household-focused, but make no mistake — when the boys are home, they are the priority, even if all the housework doesn’t get completed each week.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING:

With the kids

• Run the morning routine — wake-up, hygiene, getting dressed, and out the door on time
• Drop off one or both children at school or camp (family vehicle provided)
• Plan and lead age-appropriate activities that keep two very active boys engaged and learning
• Prepare meals, pack lunches, and make sure no one goes hungry
• Be present and hands-on whenever the kids are home — activities, homework, and isn’t afraid to get dirty playing
• Step up when kids are sick and provide comfort and care

Around the house

• General tidying of living spaces, kitchen, and kids' rooms and play areas
• Children's laundry (wash, dry, fold) weekly or as needed
• Load/unload the dishwasher and hand-wash as needed
• Change kids' bedding bi-weekly or more frequently if needed
• Maintain a family calendar with school dates, camp schedules, and appointments
• Grocery pickup and the occasional household errand
• Light pet care for two dogs — letting them out and wiping muddy paws if needed
• Spot what needs to be done and just do it — this family LOVES initiative

REQUIREMENTS:

• Experience caring for multiple children simultaneously
• Must pass a background check and provide 2–3 professional references
• Valid driver's license and clean driving record
• CPR/First Aid certified, or willing to become certified
• Proactive, self-directed, and doesn't need a to-do list to find what needs doing
• Reliable — especially when kids are sick or schedules shift
• Open communicator who keeps parents informed
• Physically active and able to keep up with two energetic boys (must be able to carry 30+ lbs and navigate stairs)
• Comfortable with dogs (two friendly ones live here)

SCHEDULE:

• Start Date: Early May
• Schedule: Mon - Fri; 7am to 12pm
• Hours: Typically 25 hours per week; 20 guaranteed hours

COMPENSATION & PERKS:

• $18 to $23 per hour DOE
• 5 Sick and Personal Paid Days
• Time and a half pay for Federal holidays
• 20 Guaranteed Hours per Week
• Afternoons free!
