Job Listing: 18763

A single-parent household, in Sudbury, MA, needs to hire a warm, dependable  live-in Nanny/Household Assistant to provide hands-on support with two school age children’s daily routines and general household needs. Responsibilities include: helping the children get up and ready for the day, preparing breakfast, making sure lunches are packed, and getting the children set off for the day. During the day, the Nanny may help with light household upkeep (i.e., family laundry and maintaining tidy common and children’s areas), running household errands (i.e., grocery shopping), providing light oversight of service providers, and assisting with pet care for the family dog. As long as the children’s needs are being met and household responsibilities are handled, the nanny will have significant flexibility and personal time during the middle of the day. Afternoon responsibilities include: receiving or picking the children up from school, transporting them to activities and appointments, preparing snacks, overseeing homework and routines, tidying up after the children, and assisting with family dinner. The family employs a part-time housekeeper for all deep cleaning, so this role is focused on day-to-day tidiness and household support rather than heavy housekeeping. The ideal candidate will be nurturing, compassionate, confident, and able to serve as a steady, mature presence and authority figure for the children. The family is seeking someone who will reinforce manners, accountability, and family values while building a close, trusting relationship with the children and becoming an important part of the household. Occasional weekend availability is a strong plus, particularly for family events or special circumstances. A private bedroom and bathroom are provided in the home. The schedule is Monday through Friday, with 40 guaranteed hours, working a split shift from approximately 6-8am and 2–7:30/8pm. Salary range: $35–40/hour. Early fall 2026 start.
