Please log in to apply for this job.
Log inA private family living near Reno, Nevada, is seeking a dedicated, experienced and versatile Nanny / Family Assistant to join their household on a long-term basis.
The family has three children: twin 12-year-old boys and a three-year-old. While the older boys are generally at school during the day, the successful candidate will take primary responsibility for the youngest child’s care and development. They must also be confident managing all three children together or providing individual care as family schedules and circumstances require.
This is a multifaceted role combining hands-on childcare with practical family assistance and household support. The family already has an established team, including another nanny and security personnel, and is recruiting a housekeeper. The successful candidate will therefore need to collaborate effectively with colleagues, communicate well and be willing to contribute wherever additional help is needed.
The ideal professional is energetic, resourceful and adaptable, with a genuine team-oriented mindset and a willingness to go beyond traditional childcare responsibilities. Previous experience in a private household, excellent employment longevity and the ability to work within a structured family environment will be highly valued.
Working schedule and rota
The position follows a 10-days-on / 9-days-off rota, offering nine consecutive days entirely free from work after each working period.
During the 10-day on-duty period, the candidate will generally live at the family residence and provide comprehensive support around the clock. On occasion, the working period may be arranged on a live-out basis, depending on the household’s staffing requirements.
Overnight responsibility is included throughout the on-duty period. The nanny will sleep with a baby monitor to respond if the three-year-old requires assistance; the child typically sleeps through the night.
Flexibility is essential, particularly when the family travels or when schedules and household requirements change. The candidate must be comfortable adapting their duties and working arrangements as necessary.
Compensation remains consistent throughout the year, irrespective of variations in the family’s day-to-day schedule.
Childcare and daily routines
Family assistance and household support
Deep cleaning is not required, as a dedicated team attends the property weekly. However, the candidate must be comfortable maintaining everyday order and contributing to the smooth running of the household.
Teamwork and household coordination
The family is looking for a mature and dependable professional who combines excellent childcare skills with flexibility, discretion and a strong work ethic.
Essential requirements include:
Previous experience in a formal private household is advantageous but not essential. Candidates from other high-standard domestic environments will also be considered if they demonstrate the necessary professionalism, adaptability and discretion.
A formal childcare qualification or university degree is not required.
Benefits
