Overview
A kind father based in Hockessin, DE (20 minutes outside of Wilmington, DE, and 45 minutes outside of Philadelphia), is seeking a full-time nanny/family assistant to help with their three children, ages 11, 9, and 6. This is a live-out role, so candidates must be local and able to commute daily. The schedule for this role is 40 hours per week- the children are in the home half of the time- on days with children (Tuesday, Thursday, and every other Friday) the hours will generally be 11am-7pm or 12-8pm. On days without children (Monday, Wednesday, and every other Friday) the hours are totally flexible. Ideally the person in this role will have some flexibility for occasional help on weekends with the kids are in the home. The summer schedule is a bit different, so if a candidate is available and wants to start prior to August, that can be discussed. Alternatively, the family is open to the perfect person starting the role when the children go back to school in late August.
