Charlotte’s Best Nanny Agency is assisting a family in Weaverville, NC, in finding a Full-Time Family Assistant for their family of four, including a 4-year-old and a 1-year-old. The Family Assistant would typically be needed Monday - Friday, 11:00 am - 7:00 pm (35 - 40 hours a week). One week each month, the assistant will have the opportunity to work additional hours when Dad travels, and it would be a plus if the assistant could travel with the family internationally on occasion.

The best Family Assistant would be someone who thrives in a dual role that blends hands-on childcare with household management responsibilities. This position is ideal for a candidate who genuinely loves children, is naturally organized and tidy, and brings a warm, playful, and fully engaged presence to each day.

This is a role for someone with high energy who enjoys being on the floor playing and connecting with children. Each day will often begin with one-on-one engagement with the four-year-old while mom cares for the infant, supporting a nurturing and loving environment.

In addition to childcare, the role includes household support to help the home run smoothly. Responsibilities include chopping vegetables and preparing ingredients for family meals, cleaning the high chair, loading the dishwasher, tidying the kitchen while parents manage bath and bedtime routines, assisting with laundry, particularly during dinner time, and running occasional errands.
