About this nanny job

We are looking for a reliable part-time caregiver, approximately 20 hours per week, to support our family for a long-term arrangement. The role will be part help with household tasks and part childcare. We have two goals. First, we would like to get more quality time as a family by decreasing our load of basic housekeeping like dishes, laundry, grocery shopping, and cooking. Second, we would like to get help with childcare logistics like school pick-ups and transportation to afterschool activities. Other than availability for the after-school timeframe, work hours are flexible; we are happy to try to accommodate other obligations like school or other part-time work. About us: We are both full-time professionals with jobs in Washington, D.C., but also dedicated parents. Our kids are currently in full-day programs (school + aftercare), but we would like to have the flexibility to pick them up earlier than 6:00 p.m. to make evenings less rushed and especially to bring them to afterschool activities—something that is not possible now because of our full-time jobs. Our kids are happy, outgoing, and fairly adaptable, and they get along well with each other. Responsibilities include: - Pick-up one or both children from school/daycare most days of the week. - Take children to/from after school activities a few times per week. - Grocery shopping once per week (we will provide a shopping list, and we are within walking distance of grocery stores). - Prepare healthy dinners approximately three nights per week (we would provide recipes). - Light housework and house tasks: dishes daily, cleaning up kitchen and play areas, vacuuming/mopping/light cleaning as needed; family laundry weekly, etc. - Availability to stay late one evening per week. - Occasional assistance with household-related errands. Requirements: - Safe driver with an excellent driving record; ability to bring your own vehicle is preferred. - Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail. - Childcare experience. - Comfort cooking healthy meals and following simple recipes. - Ability to reliably perform household tasks like dishes, light cleaning, and laundry. The ideal candidate will have occasional availability for additional hours of childcare such as days off of school.
