Position Overview

A busy family in Chester, NJ is looking for an experienced, proactive and highly organized Part-Time Nanny / Manny / Family Assistant to support their household and their two adolescent young men, ages 15 and 16. The parents have very full schedules. They need a self-starter who can run the household’s afternoon logistics independently, anticipate needs and keep things moving without being told what to do next. The family is also looking for a positive, steady mentor for the boys: someone who leads by example, encourages responsibility and builds a good rapport with teenagers.

Each shift begins at 1:00 or 2:00 PM with grocery shopping, errands and dinner prep, all done before the 3:00 PM school pick-up. After pick-up, much of the afternoon is spent driving the boys to hockey, tennis and other activities. The role also covers laundry and having a healthy dinner ready for the boys each night. The family eats a sugar-free, protein-forward diet. The boys are big meat eaters, and every meal must be free of nuts and sesame.

The family provides a vehicle for work driving, a dedicated credit card for household purchases, and food. A cleaning service comes every other week. The role has no overnight or travel duties. The family wants a long-term team member, and the position may start with an overlap period to make the transition smooth.

• Serve as a mentor to the boys, encouraging accountability, good habits and independence
• Feed and care for the family’s two guinea pigs as needed
• Anticipate household needs and take initiative without constant direction

Requirements:
