All About the Job
Family Concierge is partnering with a private family in the Northtowns to find a full-time Nanny–Family Assistant.
The family is home, involved, and love being parents. The person who does well here is comfortable working alongside a family as a trusted partner.
This is a broader role than childcare alone. School runs, errands, appointments, and the running lists of a busy, on-the-go household sit beside full-charge afternoons with a preschooler. Flexibility for domestic and international travel is a must; business and seasonal travel is planned in advance.
What You'll Do
- Full charge afternoon care through dinner, bath, and bedtime prep
- Morning school dropoff (as needed) and afternoon pickup
- Lead hands-on, engaging indoor and outdoor play
- Drive to and from activities in your own safe and reliable vehicle
- Family Assistant duties including errands, returns, and grocery runs
- Prepare snacks and meals as needed
- Child and family-related tidying, laundry, and household organization projects
- Travel with the family domestically and internationally
- Uphold privacy for the child and parents at all times
Who We're Looking For
The family is looking for someone who is partnership-minded and seeking a long-term commitment. You have run the moving parts of a household before: as a family assistant, as a career nanny whose role grew into the whole day, or as a house manager who loves the childcare hours most. You can dedicate yourself to a nontraditional schedule, including travel. You honor your commitments. You can read a room without being coddled.
Beyond that, the right fit brings:
- Several years of professional experience as a nanny, family assistant, or both, ideally with toddlers and preschoolers
- A valid passport and previous travel experience with a family
- A safe, insured vehicle and a clean driving record
- Flexibility with evenings and the occasional weekend, always with notice
- The organization to run errands, lists, and a family calendar without prompting
- Initiative, steadiness, and sound judgment
- Absolute discretion and adherence to a family non-disclosure agreement
Standard for our placements: Infant and Pediatric CPR and First Aid (or willingness to obtain), reliable transportation, and a sincere intention to make a long-term commitment to the family.
Why You'll Love This Job
This is a rare full-time role for candidates based in Western New York. The family is flexible, kind, and generous. They are experienced household employers, and their previous nanny stayed with them for several years. A supportive, flexible, and adaptable professional will appreciate the family's approach in a role where no two days will be the same.
