Position Overview
A Darien family of three young boys — ages 4, 2.5, and 1 — is seeking a part-time Household Assistant/Nanny to support household operations and childcare during afternoon and early evening hours. The children are home full-time and the household runs on a two-person afternoon structure. This role works alongside the family's full-time nanny and combines household support, dinner preparation, and laundry with hands-on care for one child at a time while the nanny is with the other two. The home has a very large backyard with a play pool and water table, plus two indoor playrooms, and the family values outdoor play year-round. Dinner is served around 5:30–6:00 PM with food largely prepared ahead of time, and the kitchen runs actively throughout the evening. The ideal candidate is organized, upbeat, physically active, comfortable with infants and toddlers, and communicates well within a team-staffed household.

Benefits: Guaranteed hours, 2 weeks paid vacation, 10 paid holidays, 5 paid sick days, legal pay through a payroll service, workers' compensation coverage, on-site parking

Responsibilities

  • Household administration and organizational support
  • Dinner preparation, advance food prep, and kitchen support including cleanup and running the dishwasher
  • Family and children's laundry — washing, folding, and putting away (approximately one load daily)
  • General household tidying and upkeep, indoors and outdoors
  • Provide one-on-one care for a single child while the nanny is with the other two
  • Support age-appropriate play and routines, including outdoor time in the backyard
  • Assist with children's mealtime and evening routines
  • Coordinate with the afternoon nanny and household team on daily priorities

Requirements

  • Professional experience combining household support with childcare, or comparable background
  • Confident caring for one young child at a time, including infants and toddlers
  • Highly organized with strong follow-through
  • Comfortable outdoors in all seasons
  • Current CPR and First Aid certification
  • Up to date on COVID-19 and flu vaccinations
  • Punctual and reliable
  • Strong, proactive communication skills
  • Must be able to provide 3–5 professional references

Upon submitting this form, you will be considered for any suitable positions, so there is no need to complete multiple applications.
