The Family
A warm, positive, and flexible family in Sterling Ranch is seeking an experienced Part-Time Nanny / Family Assistant to join their household and care for their infant daughter. Their little one will be approximately 5–7 months old when the position begins and is currently a happy, engaging baby who loves to coo, interact, and play!
Both parents work from home and are looking for someone who can truly become an extension of their family over the next several years. They describe their household as loving, flexible, organized without being rigid, and very much focused on enjoying life together. Everything generally has a home and there are routines that keep the household running, but they also recognize that some days with a baby are simply about getting through the day — and that's okay!
They love positive energy, spontaneity, and spending their free time together as a family. Their goal in hiring a nanny/family assistant is to have someone they trust completely to love and care for their daughter while they work, while also providing household support that allows Mom and Dad to spend more of their non-working hours focused on their daughter.
Schedule
The family's ideal ongoing schedule is:
Tuesday: 8:00 AM–4:00 PM
Wednesday: 8:00 AM–4:00 PM
Thursday: 8:00 AM–4:00 PM
Friday: 8:00 AM–12:00 PM
One Monday every four weeks: 8:00 AM–4:00 PM
There may occasionally be opportunities for additional Friday hours when Mom has extra work calls.
The family is open to discussing a schedule that creates the right long-term fit.
The start date is flexible between November 1 and January 1. Mom's work schedule provides some flexibility through November and December, making the family very open to a gradual transition for a wonderful candidate who may be finishing a position with another family.
The Ideal Candidate
This family is looking for someone who is calm, loving, flexible, organized, dependable, and genuinely passionate about infant development.
Their ideal nanny is someone who enjoys getting down on the floor and being fully present with a baby — talking, reading, playing, exploring, and creating developmentally appropriate activities rather than simply supervising.
Strong infant experience is important. The family would love someone who can confidently help navigate the many developmental changes that happen throughout the first few years, including:
Age-appropriate developmental milestones
Establishing and adjusting routines
Developmentally appropriate play and activities
Bottle and feeding transitions
Introducing solids
Supporting emerging independence
Language and cognitive development
Toddler transitions as their daughter grows
The family is especially interested in someone who has demonstrated longevity with previous families and is looking for a position where they can build a meaningful relationship and grow alongside a child for the next 2–3+ years.
Nanny & Family Assistant Responsibilities
The nanny's primary responsibility will always be providing safe, loving, engaged care for the family's daughter.
Typical childcare responsibilities will include:
Providing attentive and developmentally appropriate infant care
Engaging in floor play, reading, sensory activities, walks, and age-appropriate learning through play
Supporting naps, bottles, feeding, and evolving routines
Helping with developmental milestones and transitions
Preparing bottles and age-appropriate meals/snacks as needed
Keeping children's spaces and supplies organized
Baby laundry and related cleanup
Maintaining a daily log of bottles/feedings, naps, activities, milestones, and other important updates
No regular driving with the child is anticipated at this time. The nanny should have a reliable vehicle, and mileage will be reimbursed for any approved work-related driving that may be needed in the future.
Family Assistant Responsibilities
Because both parents work from home, this position will have a collaborative and somewhat unique flow.
On lighter workdays, Mom may finish calls early or have an open afternoon and choose to spend time with her daughter. During those periods, the nanny would transition into family assistant responsibilities. The family hopes to find someone who can comfortably and naturally move between childcare and household support depending on what is most helpful that day.
Family assistant responsibilities may include:
Family laundry
Light meal prep
Tidying and household reset
Organization projects
Keeping commonly used household and baby areas organized
Other light household tasks that help the family's week run smoothly
No deep cleaning is expected.
The family's ideal dynamic is highly collaborative: Mom may take over with the baby while the nanny tackles laundry or meal prep, and later they may switch back. They would love someone who doesn't need a rigid division between "nanny time" and "household time," but instead enjoys working together to determine what would be most helpful.
And flexibility goes both ways! If the household tasks are complete and Mom or Dad finishes work early and no longer needs assistance, they are happy to occasionally let their nanny head home early while still honoring guaranteed hours.
Working From Home
Both parents can work from home, although their schedules and roles look different from one another.
They are looking for a nanny who is comfortable having work-from-home parents nearby and sees their presence as an opportunity for collaboration rather than a challenge. They want to establish an easy rhythm where everyone communicates well, respects each other's roles, and can seamlessly pass childcare and household responsibilities back and forth when appropriate.
The home does have cameras, which the family is happy to fully disclose and discuss with their nanny.
Pets
The family has two Schnoodles, ages 7 and 8. They tend to be excited when someone first enters the home and then settle down and keep to themselves. One can be vocal and likes to bark at noises, so candidates should be comfortable working around dogs. No significant pet-care responsibilities are anticipated.
What Will Make Someone Thrive in This Role
The strongest fit will be someone who:
Has strong, professional infant experience
Understands infant development and enjoys supporting milestones
Is calm, loving, patient, and highly engaged
Believes in learning through play
Loves reading, talking, playing, and interacting with babies
Is organized and naturally notices ways to be helpful
Is comfortable balancing nanny and family assistant responsibilities
Is flexible and doesn't need every day to look exactly the same
Communicates openly and works well alongside work-from-home parents
Is comfortable with dogs
Has a reliable vehicle and clean driving record
Values longevity and is genuinely interested in growing with a family for 2–3+ years
Above all, this family is looking for someone who brings calm, loving, positive energy into their home. They want their nanny to feel like a trusted member of the household — someone who adores their daughter, takes pride in helping their home run smoothly, and wants to build a wonderful long-term relationship with the entire family.
