**Salary:** USD 45,000–65,000

**Workplace:** on_site

## Description

A private family in Glen Rock, NJ looking for a live-out nanny and family assistant to join our team. Mom works full-time from home in a demanding role with occasional travel. Dad owns and operates several businesses from home. We're organized, communicative, and low-drama. We're straightforward people and we expect the same in return. If we're a good fit for each other, this isn't a one year thing, it's a real, lasting relationship.

We have a friendly 25 lb mini golden doodle who is mostly handled by mom and dad, though the occasional help is appreciated.

**The Kids**

Our daughter is 2.5 years old fun, easy-going, a great eater, and a solid sleeper. She's in the thick of exploring everything, loves being outside, and is a joy to be around.

We're expecting twins in late 2026. We're sharing this upfront because we want someone who's excited about growing with our family, not surprised by it. We anticipate needing additional help during the initial months as everyone adjusts to going from one child to three, and compensation will be revisited when responsibilities expand.

**Schedule**

-   Full-time, Mon-Fri, approximately 45 hours per week.
-   Schedule flexes by season, summer looks different from the school year (half-day Montessori, 5 days/week in the fall).
