Port Washington | Live-In

A warm, welcoming family in Port Washington is seeking an experienced, proactive, and highly organized Live-In Nanny / Family Assistant to become a long-term member of their household. The family has three children, ages 8, 6, and 3, and is looking for someone who is nurturing, energetic, flexible, and able to confidently manage both childcare and household support responsibilities.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter who naturally takes initiative, thrives in a busy family environment, and understands how to anticipate needs without constant direction. The family's schedule can be dynamic, so flexibility and adaptability are essential.

The Role

This role requires the ability to seamlessly shift priorities throughout the day. When the children are home, the focus is on providing attentive childcare, preparing meals, assisting with routines, and creating a positive and engaging environment.

When the children are at school, camp, activities, or otherwise occupied, the focus transitions to helping maintain an organized, efficient, and well-run household.

• Monitor household inventory and help keep commonly used items organized

• Create and maintain systems that support an efficient household

• Anticipate household needs and proactively address them

• Assist in keeping the home running smoothly on a day-to-day basis

Schedule

• This is a live-in position working Tuesday through Saturday, with Sunday as a guaranteed day off.

  The family enjoys  dinners and social commitments on Saturday evenings, so the ideal candidate is comfortable with a schedule that extends later into the evening on Saturdays.

  Additional Monday hours can also be available for candidates interested.

What We’re Looking For

• Takes initiative and requires minimal supervision

• Highly organized and detail-oriented

• Able to multitask and manage competing priorities

Benefits and Compensation

• Compensation: $300 per day

• Five (5) paid sick days annually

• Two (2) weeks of paid vacation annually

  • One week selected by the nanny with reasonable advance notice

  • One week selected by the family based on family travel or scheduling needs

Should the family request that the nanny travel with them, all reasonable travel-related expenses will be covered by the family.

Any guaranteed hours or compensation arrangements during periods when the family is traveling and childcare services are not required will be reviewed and discussed after the nanny's first six (6) months of employment.

The family is seeking someone who genuinely enjoys supporting both children and household operations and is excited to become an important part of their family's daily life for years to come.
