Part-Time Nanny/Family Assistant — Morning Superhero Wanted
Location: Holly Ridge, NC
Pay: $18 to $23/hr DOE
Hours: Typically 25 hrs/week - Guaranteed 20 hours
Schedule: M-F 7:00am to 12pm
Start Date: Early May
An active, on‑the‑go family of four (+ 2 sweet dogs) is seeking a playful, proactive Nanny/Family Assistant to join their team and help guide their energetic 4‑ and 5‑year‑old boys through smooth, happy mornings. Mom is an active‑duty nurse preparing for deployment later this spring, so they’re hoping to welcome someone in early May to ensure a gentle, well‑supported transition for the whole family.
What Your Day Will Include:
The mornings belong to the boys — getting two adventurous kids ready for school and out the door takes someone who's organized, energetic, and not easily rattled by a missing shoe or a last-minute meltdown. Once the kids are dropped off, the role shifts to household support: laundry, tidying, errands, and keeping the household running smoothly while dad works from home and mom is deployed.
The majority of the work week is household-focused, but make no mistake — when the boys are home, they are the priority, even if all the housework doesn’t get completed each week.
