TRAVERSE CITY, MI (NATIONWIDE SEARCH) - An incredible family of 7 seeks a FULL-TIME LIVE-IN or LIVE-OUT NANNY/FAMILY ASSISTANT to join their bustling household. They are open to hiring two individuals to rotate working this position to allow for more time off and more dedicated care. The primary focus is on their two youngest boys, ages 2 and 6, with some additional responsibilities for their three older daughters, mainly involving transportation to/from activities and school, along with meal and snack preparation.

All the children, except the 2-year-old, attend school during the academic year at a nearby private Catholic school. Your main duties will include complete childcare for the youngest two, transportation for the older children. Family laundry, dishes, and cleanup will take place during the youngest's nap time. Additional duties include snack/meal preparation, occasional errands, and helping with homework (though this is not a strict requirement).

Hours are from 8:30am-7pm Monday, 8am-7pm Tuesday, 11:30am-3:30pm Wednesday, 8:30am-7pm Thursday, 11:30am-3:30pm Friday and Sunday from 6pm-10pm. If two caregivers are hired, the schedule will be modified to allow for more time off (each having a 3-day weekend), with more time allocated to household/family assistant duties such as laundry and errands without children. Their home is supported by a weekly housekeeper, organizer (before housekeeping), and a personal assistant (based out of the parents’ office, not the home).

This position offers flexible live-in or live-out options. Housing accommodations can be a room in the home or a neighboring property. A family car is provided, but the nanny must have their own vehicle for personal use. Candidates must be confident and comfortable driving in snowy and icy conditions, as Michigan winters can be long and harsh yet beautiful. A relocation stipend is available for candidates relocating from out of state.

The younger children love to be active and outdoors, enjoying activities like cooking, hiking, art, and playing at the neighborhood park, just blocks from their home. The 6-year-old has a life-threatening allergy to pine nuts, tree nuts, and dogs. The family seeks a nanny who can manage this allergy vigilantly and is willing to carry an EPI pen. Experience with allergies is a plus! The nanny is welcome to have a dog if living out, but must practice caution and wash hands upon entering the home and engaging with the child.

They are a fun-loving, tight-knit family seeking a long-term nanny (or nannies) who are patient, kind, active, organized, and respectful. The ideal candidate is ethical and honest, educated (preferably with a background in education), and respectful of the family's values. They are looking for someone who is a good role model. The family values healthy, organic eating and seeks a nanny who can encourage healthy habits in the home.

Pay is $25-30/hour gross via payroll. Benefits include paid sick days, holidays, vacation and health insurance. Start date is ASAP!
