Calling all early birds, dinner wizards, and the kind of people who actually enjoy a good being part of the family: a sweet, close-knit Sneads Ferry family is on the hunt for their next long-term nanny/family assistant, and this one comes with serious perks.

PAY: $2,600 - $3,000 per month ($20-$24 per hour DOE + $150 flat rate weekly for overnight)
START DATE: Mid September
HOURS: 25 Guaranteed Hours per Week + 1 Overnight per week
SCHEDULE:
- 4 days per week all being Mon-Fri with overnight day varying during the week
- Mornings 3 days per week 5:30am to 8:00am

The Family
A warm, single mom of two — a spirited 7-year-old and an easygoing almost-5-year-old — who love Barbies, dance parties, art projects, and pretending the living room is a stage. Mom works in the medical field with a rotating schedule, which means real structure during the week and genuinely appreciated flexibility from her nanny. After four years of au pairs, she's ready for a true partner: someone mature, proactive, and a little bit magic in the kitchen.
The Schedule (yes, we know it's part-time hours, but stick with us)
Start Date: Mid-September
4 mornings & 4 afternoons per week with 1 overnight a week and occasional ability to switch an afternoon shift to Saturday
- 3 mornings/week, 5:30am–8:00am — get the girls up, fed, and out the door
- 4 afternoons/week, 2:30pm–6:30pm — school pickup, homework, dinner, wind-down
- 1 overnight/week (on 4th morning shift day, start time moves to 6:30am)
- 25 guaranteed hours/week
Why This Schedule Actually Works in Your Favor
- The math is real money: $20–$24/hour plus a flat $150 overnight rate puts weekly pay at $650–$750 — for 25 hours. That's a serious hourly value for split shifts.
- Built-in midday freedom: With mornings and afternoons separated by several hours, your days have natural breathing room — run errands, pick up a second client, hit the gym, or just enjoy a long lunch before the second shift starts.
- One overnight, big payoff: The overnight isn't just a bonus check — it's a guest room and private bathroom all your own, plus a guaranteed easy morning after (next day's hours start at 6:30am, not 5:30am).
- This family wants someone to grow with — meaning real consistency, advance notice on schedules (often months out), and a relationship built on trust, not turnover.
- Your skills get to shine: If you love meal planning and cooking, this is your stage — it's the family's #1 priority and the easiest way to become indispensable.
