Part-Time Nanny/Family Assistant Rock Star Needed

Location: Middle Sound Loop area in Wilmington 

Pay: $25 to $33 per hour DOE

Hours: 15 guaranteed hours per week (some additional hours will be available at times but not required)

Start Date: Early to Mid-May (some flex for the right candidate)

Family Overview:

A warm, active family in the Middle Sound Loop area of Wilmington is looking for a part-time Nanny/Family Assistant to join their crew. The family has two kids: an 8-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl who both have plenty of personality to go around. This family is looking for a candidate who is genuinely present with the kids, empathetic to their needs, and knows how to read the room — whether that means encouraging imaginative play or knowing when to let the homework frustration breathe before diving in to help. Just as important: when the fun is over, the kitchen gets cleaned up, the lunch boxes get packed, and the house gets left better than they found it.

• Facilitating play dates and keeping the chaos organized

• Maintaining tidy kids' spaces, belongings, and gear

• Weekly linen changes and keeping kids' rooms and closets organized

• Family laundry bi-weekly or as needed

• Prepping family meals three times per week

The Family would love to have someone who is flexible to change which flex day (Tues, Thurs, Fri) they work based on needs each week, but are okay if the right candidate needs to have that flex day be the same set day each week.

While school is still in, the schedule needed will mostly be afternoon hours (1pm to 6pm or 2pm to 7pm). Once summer break hits, kids will be in camps most weeks but the times will vary and some days help will be needed starting around 7:15am so parents can get to work on time.
