The Nanny League, Inc.

<div>Overview:<div></div><div> 
HOUSTON, TX (LOCAL CANDIDATES ONLY) &ndash; A warm and active family in West University is seeking an exceptional PART-TIME WEEKEND NANNY to support their two children, a 12-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son. The family is looking for a dependable, energetic, and engaging caregiver who can be a steady, positive presence in a busy household. 
 
Their daughter will be entering 7th grade and is a competitive horseback rider who travels frequently for competitions. Their son will be entering 2nd grade and has severe ADHD. He is typically not medicated on weekends. He is bright, sensitive, and very active, and thrives with a caregiver who is both loving and firm. He can sometimes resist transitions or tasks, so the family is seeking someone patient who can provide structure and clear boundaries while gently encouraging him to stay on track in a positive and supportive way. The primary focus of the role will be their son, though the nanny will occasionally assist with their daughter when Mom is spending time with him or managing other activities. 
 
Weekends in this household are busy, and the nanny will often tag-team with Mom to ensure both children can get where they need to be. Their son participates in activities such as indoor climbing, Code Ninjas, fencing, soccer, and Cub Scouts, and the nanny should be comfortable accompanying him to activities and participating in Cub Scout outings beginning in the fall. The family is looking for someone who is organized, energetic, friendly, and someone children genuinely enjoy being around. An active nanny who enjoys engaging children, encouraging outdoor play, and keeping kids moving would be an excellent fit. 
 
Responsibilities include driving the children to and from activities using the family car, supporting the children&rsquo;s weekend schedules, preparing simple, healthy meals for the children, and occasionally preparing basic meal components (such as spaghetti, eggs, or saut&eacute;ed vegetables) that can benefit the family as well. The nanny should also be comfortable supervising swimming. The family has three dogs and three cats; however, they have dog walkers and daycare in place and only request occasional help with the pets if needed. The home is well supported with twice-weekly housekeepers and a dedicated laundry professional. 
 
The schedule for this position is Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 AM&ndash;5:00 PM, with 20 hours guaranteed each week. The family is seeking someone stable, dependable, and warm who will become a trusted and supportive presence during busy weekends. Candidates must be comfortable signing an NDA, have a valid driver&rsquo;s license with a clean driving record, and be comfortable around pets. Experience working with children with ADHD or neurodivergent children is strongly preferred. Compensation is open, DOE and paid via payroll, depending on experience, and includes paid sick days, holidays, and vacation. The start date is ASAP.</div>

CDL-A Solo & Team Owner Operator Truck Drivers

<div>Overview:
<div></div><div>
HOUSTON, TX (OPEN TO ALL US CANDIDATES) &ndash; A warm and active family in West University is seeking a FULL-TIME NANNY to care for their two children: a 12-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son. The family is looking for a dependable, energetic, and engaging caregiver who can be a steady, positive presence in their busy household. 
 
Their daughter will be entering 7th grade and is a competitive horseback rider who travels frequently for competitions. Their son will be entering 2nd grade and has severe ADHD. While he is medicated during the school week, but is typically not medicated on weekends. He is bright, sensitive, and very active, and thrives with a caregiver who is both loving and firm. He can sometimes resist transitions or tasks, so the family is seeking someone patient who can provide structure and clear boundaries while gently encouraging him to stay on track in a positive and supportive way. Both children attend schools within three miles of the family&rsquo;s home. 
 
The family would love a nanny who is active, engaging, and enjoys spending time with children. Someone who encourages movement, outdoor time, and positive engagement will thrive in this role. The ideal candidate is organized, energetic, friendly, and someone children naturally enjoy being around. Stability and a calm, confident presence are very important to the family. 
 
The role includes morning and afternoon/evening support during the school week. Mornings typically run from 6:30 AM&ndash;9:30 AM and involve helping the children start their day, preparing breakfast, getting their son dressed and ready for school, and driving one of the children to school. Both children are typically at school by 8:00 AM. The time between dropping off the kids and 9:30am will be spent tidying the home/straightening up. The nanny will then return in the afternoon, generally from 1:30/2:00 PM&ndash;7:30 PM, to handle school pickups, drive the children to activities, prepare dinner, assist with homework and pre-bedtime routines, and help keep the afternoon and evening running smoothly. The schedule can be somewhat flexible for the right candidate. 
 
Additional responsibilities include driving the children to and from school and activities using the family car, coordinating and managing the children&rsquo;s schedules, preparing simple dinners for the children (and ideally the family, though this is not a dealbreaker), and helping with general tidying related to the children. 
 
The parents maintain a relaxed and respectful work-from-home environment. Dad works from home part time, and Mom is a stay-at-home parent. The nanny must be comfortable working in a home where parents may be present but are not micromanaging and are typically focused on their own responsibilities. The nanny will often work collaboratively with Mom to ensure the children&rsquo;s schedules run smoothly. 
 
The family has a full household that includes three dogs and three cats. While the family has dog walkers and daycare in place, the nanny should be comfortable around pets and willing to help occasionally if needed. The home is well supported with twice-weekly housekeepers and a dedicated laundry professional. A car will be provided for all driving related to the children.There may be occasional overnight care needs throughout the year (no more than about five times annually), though this is not a firm requirement. 
 
The family is seeking someone dependable, proactive, and warm who will become a trusted and positive presence in their home. Candidates must be willing to sign an NDA, have a valid driver&rsquo;s license and clean driving record, and be comfortable in an active household. Experience working with children with ADHD or neurodivergent children is strongly preferred. 
 
Compensation is flexible, depending on experience and paid via payroll. The position includes two weeks of paid vacation, 3&ndash;5 paid sick days, and most major holidays off. The family is also open to providing a healthcare stipend. The start date is ASAP, and the family is open to out-of-state candidates and willing to assist with relocation for the right fit.</div>
