Charlotte’s Best Nanny Agency is assisting a family in the Barclay Downs neighborhood of South Charlotte in finding a Full-Time Family Assistant for their family of five, including 8-year-old boy/girl twins and a 5-year-old girl. The nanny would be needed Monday - Thursday 10:00 am - 6:30 pm and Friday 10:00 am - 4:00 pm. During Summer Break, the family would like the Family Assistant to work Monday - Friday 8:00 am - 4:00 pm. The family is looking for a Family Assistant who would be flexible to stay late if needed. It would also be a plus if they could occasionally travel with the family.

The best Family Assistant would be energetic, dependable, patient, organized, and proactive. During the school year, the family assistant would arrive after the children are at school and spend the day performing the house management tasks listed below and will be responsible for picking the children up after school. The Family Assistant will be responsible for preparing dinner for the children and their school lunches for the next day. Once the children arrive home from school around 4 pm, the Family Assistant will be expected to ensure their homework is completed and they are prepared for the next school day. When there is downtime, the children enjoy playing sports outside.

During summer break, the hours would shift to 8:00 am - 4:00 pm. The Family Assistant would be expected to continue to help with House Management duties and transport the children to and from various summer camps.
