Position Overview

A loving, hands-on family in Grosse Pointe Shores is seeking a warm, trustworthy, and organized long-term part-time nanny/family assistant for their 7-month-old son.

The primary responsibility will be providing attentive, developmentally appropriate infant care while following the baby’s established feeding, nap, and daily routines. When the mother is home and caring for baby, the nanny will assist with baby-related responsibilities and light family-assistant tasks.

The family values a calm, positive, structured environment with flexibility as baby’s needs evolve. They prioritize healthy, whole-food nutrition, outdoor time, reading, age-appropriate developmental activities, and consistent feeding and sleep routines. The ideal candidate will build a loving, secure relationship with baby while working collaboratively with parents who remain actively involved in his daily care. The family would love someone who naturally notices what needs to be done and enjoys being helpful without needing constant direction. A big heart, honesty, and a strong work ethic are especially important.

Responsibilities

• Provide loving, attentive, and developmentally appropriate care for baby.
• Follow his feeding, nap, and daily routines.
• Prepare bottles and nutritious, age-appropriate meals.
• Engage baby in reading, sensory play, outdoor walks, and developmental activities.
• Maintain a clean and organized nursery and play areas.
• Wash, fold, and put away baby’s laundry.
• Clean bottles, feeding supplies, toys, and baby equipment.
• Organize baby’s clothing, toys, and supplies as he grows.
• Pack and unpack baby items for outings and travel.

Family Assistant

When the mother is caring for baby, the nanny may assist with:

• Grocery shopping or grocery pickup.
• Simple family meal preparation and ingredient preparation.
• Occasional household errands.
• Light kitchen tidying and organization.
• Unpacking groceries and organizing the pantry or refrigerator.
• Preparing for trips, outings, and family activities.

The family already has dedicated housekeeping support three days per week and is not seeking a housekeeper.

Transportation

The nanny should have a valid driver’s license, a clean driving record, and reliable transportation. The family would appreciate someone comfortable driving for occasional errands, grocery shopping, and eventually age-appropriate outings with baby.
