Overview
NATIONWIDE SEARCH: THE WOODLANDS, TX- A warm, active family of five in the Carlton Woods gated community is seeking an experienced, full-time live-out Nanny/House Manager to join their household team and become a trusted, long-term presence in their children's daily lives. With three outgoing, energetic kids, a fully staffed large home, and a family culture built around togetherness and low-key structure, this is a role for someone who genuinely loves the work and shows up ready to engage every single day.The family has three children: a 3-year-old boy and two girls ages 7 and 9. All three are active, social, and love being outside. The girls are into arts and crafts, baking, and cooking, and each child brings their own distinct personality. The oldest is sensitive and thoughtful, the middle child is fiercely independent, and the youngest is a curious three-year-old still learning his place in the world. The right nanny will appreciate those nuances and meet each child where they are.The first year will be more heavily weighted toward hands-on childcare with the 3-year-old, who is currently in part-time preschool. As he grows into full-time school, the role will naturally evolve to include more driving, activity coordination, and family assistant responsibilities. The position runs Monday through Friday, 11:30am to 7:30pm, within a true team dynamic alongside mom. When mom is present and engaged with the kids, the nanny shifts to support mode, tending to other household needs. That kind of situational awareness and team-mindedness is essential here.Daily responsibilities include alternating school pickups, driving to extracurricular activities, homework support, and being fully present with whichever children are home. The home has a chef on staff, so cooking is limited to preparing school lunches. Additional duties include children's laundry, light cleaning, running errands, swimming with the children, administering medications as needed, and caring for the family's 90-pound Bernedoodle. The home sits on a cul-de-sac with a large backyard, pool, and sport court, and comfort in and around water is a must. The household is fully staffed with an estate manager and housekeeper, so the nanny should be comfortable working in a home where other staff are present throughout the day.The family's approach to parenting is warm, relaxed, and traditional in its values. They are not a strict household and want their children to be genuinely excited about their nanny. The ideal candidate will follow the family's lead, respect their parenting style, and bring positive, easy energy into the home rather than rigidity. Screen time is minimal at home, with tablets reserved for travel only. Spanish fluency is a meaningful bonus. The family has no vaccination preferences. Approximately two to four overnight stays per month are required, along with occasional weekend flexibility when the father travels. Travel with the family is welcomed, and there is potential for extended summer travel as well. The targeted start date is August 6, 2026, with some flexibility.The family is open to out-of-state candidates and offers a relocation assistance package of $5,000 to $8,000. An NDA is required. Benefits include 10 PTO days, 5 sick days, paid holidays, paid vacation, and a potential health insurance stipend. Compensation is $32-42 gross per hour, commensurate with experience, paid biweekly via payroll. Mileage reimbursement is provided if the candidate uses their own vehicle.
