About the Family
Our busy, loving single mom based in Berkeley is seeking a Nanny/Family Assistant to help support her three children, ages 14, 12, and 6. She has her children Wednesday through Friday, plus every other weekend, and is looking for a strong, steady presence to help bring ease, structure, and flow to the family’s weekday routines.
This is a dynamic household where no two days look the same. The family would greatly benefit from someone who can step in as a true teammate—helping to keep the household organized, the children on track, and daily routines running smoothly.
Mom is a full-time working parent and is looking for someone who can be a supportive partner in the home—someone who can anticipate needs, take initiative, and help create a sense of calm and consistency.
Their Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate is experienced with both older school-age children and younger elementary-aged children, and understands how to balance structure with warmth. They are organized, proactive, and confident in managing multiple schedules and personalities.
This family would love someone who can help guide the children with consistency and care—supporting homework, reinforcing routines, and helping them build independence and responsibility in an age-appropriate way.
A candidate who is comfortable stepping into a Family Assistant role will thrive here. Someone who enjoys keeping a home running smoothly, whether that’s coordinating schedules, preparing meals, or staying on top of household organization.
A reliable driver is a plus, and candidates who have their own car are preferred. Flexibility on start and end times can be accommodated. Flexibility to cover occasional weeknight and weekend childcare would be a plus!
