• Start date/Contract dates: As soon as they find the perfect fit!
• Schedule: Full-time, guaranteeing 40 hours per week. The general schedule falls on Monday through Friday between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Flexibility to support earlier mornings, weekly date nights, and occasional overnights will be asked for in advance and appreciated!

• Benefits: The family will provide paid time off, paid holidays, a health insurance stipend, and relocation assistance.
• Live-in/Live-out: Live out. The family is open to providing a temporary landing pad within their home for the perfect relocation candidate.

Household dynamic:

• This vibrant and active family is passionate about cooking, skiing, beach outings, and fostering creativity in their two energetic 6 and 8-year-old boys. They thrive on outdoor activities, imaginative play, and engaging with their surroundings. Both children attend school full-time and have enjoyed after-school activities including tennis, Judo, piano, and violin. They are a close-knit family that values a tidy and organized home environment where wind-down time in the evenings is cherished. The elder child has ADHD and is supported by a weekly therapist.

From sledding in the winter to kicking around a soccer ball and swimming at the beach in the summer, the kids will love someone who’s genuinely excited to engage in outdoor activities with them!
• Responsibilities include providing a warm, consistent, and fun environment for the children to grow and thrive! This includes but is not limited to driving the kids to and from activities, patiently supporting them with their homework, child-related meal prep, and being active with them outdoors. Other responsibilities include grocery shopping, meal prep, tidying, errands, and organizational tasks as needed. Someone who is proactive and happy to pitch in with a see a need, fill a need mentality will be valued.
