Charlotte’s Best Nanny Agency is assisting a family in Myers Park with four children, two boys (ages 6 and 5) and two girls (ages 2 and 5 months), in hiring a full-time Family Assistant.

Schedule
The Family Assistant would be needed Monday through Friday, about 40-45 hours per week, with 40 hours guaranteed. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are 12:00 pm to 7:00 pm, and Tuesdays and Thursdays are 8:00 am to 7:00 pm. On days off from school, the day starts earlier. Occasional evenings run past 7:00 pm, and some weekend or weekday overnights are part of the role.

Flexibility, Travel, School Breaks, and Summer Schedule

Hours shift week to week with the family’s calendar, so flexibility is essential, especially during summer, holidays, and school breaks.

The Family Assistant will join the family on some trips, including a multi-week summer stay and possibly a spring break trip, and will care for all four children at times while traveling.

During the summer, responsibilities shift toward childcare and away from household duties.

Seeking the Best Family Assistant
The best Family Assistant for this family would be warm, loving, energetic, and confident in taking charge. The two boys are the heart of this job. They respond well to someone sweet who can set clear, kind boundaries and keep them in line without losing the fun. Before the children arrive home for the day, the Family Assistant would complete House Management tasks. Once the boys arrive home by bus around 3:10 pm, the afternoons are filled with homework, games, reading, outdoor play, and activities. From about 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm, the Family Assistant works as a team with a parent to get dinner on the table, clean up the kitchen, get lunchboxes and backpacks ready, and handle baths and bedtime.

Must be able to work well with other household staff. A second nanny cares for the girls most days, and the household has a cleaner and laundry help, so tasks are handled by a team, including the Family Assistant. This family is looking for a Family Assistant who is proactive, anticipates the family's needs, and takes care of them without being asked, rather than waiting for a list.
