Family and Household Dynamics

A peek behind the front door...

Children's Ages: Care will be for one school-aged child, who is almost 11 years old.

About the Children:

This creative and active almost 11-year-old loves music and currently enjoys guitar and piano while also beginning to explore flute and ukulele. She loves arts and crafts, soccer, climbing, baking and spending quality time with her caregiver. During the school year, she begins school at 7:50 a.m., with Mom handling morning drop-off. The Family Assistant will typically pick her up from school at approximately 2:50 p.m. After school, the Family Assistant will help with homework, activities and everyday responsibilities while also making time for fun and connection through baking, crafts, music and other interests.

About the Family:

This is a single-mom household, and Mom is looking for a Family Assistant who can truly become her right hand in keeping both the household and family schedule running smoothly.
While Mom has a demanding career and is often very focused and "in the zone" during the workday, the atmosphere at home is generally casual, relaxed and down-to-earth. She would love someone who is comfortable working independently during the day and who can naturally transition into the more relaxed rhythm of the household.

About the Pets:

No pets live in the home

Additional Notes:

Their current Family Assistant has set a wonderful precedent by anticipating needs before being asked, staying on top of school and household responsibilities and consistently noticing where she can step in and help. Mom described the "magic" she brought to the household as her ability to know what was needed before Mom even realized she needed it.

Key Responsibilities

A day in the life...

Standard Duties:

Family Assistant responsibilities will include errands, grocery shopping, package returns, scheduling appointments, school supplies, researching and coordinating camps/activities, meal planning with Mom and weekly meal/dinner prep.
The family has a housekeeper for all deep cleaning. The FA will help maintain the home between cleanings with dishes, garbage/recycling, linens, folding and putting away laundry and keeping the child's room, toys and belongings organized.
Childcare responsibilities include school pickup, homework help, transportation to soccer and climbing, engaging in activities such as baking and crafts and supporting age-appropriate independence, learning and emotional development.
Above all, Mom is looking for someone who can see a need and fill it rather than waiting for a detailed daily task list.

Travel Requirements:

No regular travel is required for this position.

Desired Skills and Abilities

The ideal candidate for this position will possess the following qualifications…

2+ years of professional experience with school-aged children as well as previous Family Assistant experience, with a strong FA reference.
The ideal candidate will be proactive, organized, self-directed and genuinely enjoy the household-support side of a Family Assistant role. Previous experience with errands, groceries, meal prep, laundry, calendars and general family organization is important.
Knowledge of child development is highly valued. College experience, child development coursework or a strong understanding of child development would be a big perk but is not required.
The family is looking for someone loving, patient and emotionally aware who can support a school-aged child with homework, independence, everyday responsibilities and occasional anxiety while being sensitive to the dynamics of transitioning between two parents' homes.
The ideal candidate will be collaborative and communicative with Mom while also confident working independently. Flexibility, professionalism and the ability to anticipate what a busy household needs will be key to success in this role.

Compensation and Benefits

Let’s talk dollars and cents…

Rate of Pay (gross):

$30-$35/hour (gross). Based on 35 guaranteed hours, this equates to an annualized compensation of $54,600-$63,700 per year (gross).

Mom is offering all standard benefits, two weeks of paid vacation, paid sick leave, standard paid holidays, mileage/gas reimbursement for work-related driving and a health stipend.

Rated 5 out of 5

As a self-represented nanny for the last 8 years, I can say that I will never look for a new family without ABC again! I recently moved across the country and was very worried about finding the right family long distance…ABC was there every step of the way and made the whole process hassle free. I would recommend them to any career nanny looking for a great family, or for any family looking for a great nanny.

I have had the privilege of working with the first-rate staff at ABC Nannies in my job search and placement, as a Nanny and House Manager. Personal experience in this field, for over forty years, led me to seek the services of a placement agency with parallel experience and exceptional reputation. I have not been disappointed! ...I highly recommend working with them.

This company is worth their weight in GOLD! ABC is the most valuable asset to my housekeeping career, truly. Without them I would not be the success I am today. The families they represent are tip of the top, cream of the crop. They have matched me with families that I will keep in touch with for the rest of my life…and they just connected me with another super awesome family! I will be forever grateful.

It has been a true blessing to work for ABC Nannies. I know they have my best interest at heart and I could not be happier with my current position as a nanny and personal assistant to a wonderful family! I have worked for both their temporary service and full time placement service and have always had a great experience with the staff. Their customer service is top-notch and they are the best in Colorado!

My experience as a nanny with ABC Nannies has been nothing short of amazing! They are communicative, supportive, kind, and so helpful with finding amazing placements for both the nanny and the family. They are there to answer any questions, check in with how you’re feeling and if you’re happy with your placement, showing genuine care for everyone involved.

Working with ABC Nannies & Domestics has been a dream! ...I was recruited out of state and did quite a bit of research before choosing an agency I knew I could trust. I wanted to be represented by an agency with an exemplary reputation and ABC Nannies and Domestics has that in spades. I’m looking forward to working with them for many years.
