Overview

Do you love to cook? Are you looking for a part-time job with varied responsibilities, so you don't have a mundane day? Starting 9/5, this lovely family is looking for a part-time Family Assistant around 20 hours per week to care for their two kids and help with household tasks. $30/$35/hour net ($600-$700/week net for 20 hours) plus PTO, Sick Time, possible MetroCard.

The Ideal Sitter for this Job

The ideal nanny for this position is open to cooking! You can come up with simple, veggie-friendly meals for the whole family in the time that you're not with the children. You’re energetic, active, and someone who can really engage with both kids in their own way (as they have almost opposite personalities)! The ideal nanny for this role is open and receptive to feedback, especially in the beginning, as you’re still getting to know the family. You take direction well, are a great team player, and are super communicative.

Schedule

Monday through Friday either 2:00 PM to 6:30 PM or potentially 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM (as the kids will sometimes be in After School programs and their schedule hasn’t come out yet), for 20 hours guaranteed, with flexibility for additional date night hours on occasion.

About the Children

Boy, 8 - Going into 3rd grade. He's structured, and methodical. This guy loves playing strategy games and finished his summer homework in June. He has an amazing memory and values his alone time to decompress (versus his sister who always wants to be around people). Girl, 6 - Going into 1st grade. She loves the arts and anything creative (painting, drawing, stickers, collages), loves to sing and dance (she's been in ballet, but they're thinking of putting her into Indian dance classes!), she’s super funny and goofy, and here for a good time. They are both high energy, and can get very focused on their particular interests.

Responsibilities

Ideally, the family would love for you to come early to their home before school pickup to knock out some household tasks! This may include light tidying, kids laundry, vacuuming, wiping off counters, etc. The most important thing to them however, is that their sitter is willing to meal prep for the whole fam! These meals can be simple, and Mom can work together with you to find a routine that works for everyone. They’re all vegetarians though, so veggie friendly is a must! The kids are done with school around 3:20, but sometimes they will be in after school programs for a bit longer (this schedule hasn’t come out yet, won’t until mid September), giving you a bit more time for those household tasks. After, you’ll do pickup, and take the kids home for a bit. This is a “no screens on weekdays” family, so a sitter who is super engaging in the time you have together is essential. Mom and Dad work full time, and they can both WFH, so a sitter who is comfortable with parents being around, and being a great team player is a must!
