Responsibilities and Duties

WHO/WHAT: Ever walk into a home where everything just works? The pantry is stocked, the laundry is folded just right, dinner is already planned, and errands seem to magically take care of themselves. This wonderful Fox Chapel family is ready to bring in a Household Assistant to help create that smooth, stress-free rhythm. This kind, career-driven family has worked incredibly hard to build the life they love and feel deeply grateful for where they are today. Life is full and fast-moving for this Dad CEO and Mom professor raising two joyful girls. Now, they’re ready for extra support so they can truly savor their time together as a family.

Your role will focus primarily on keeping the household running smoothly and proactively — serving as that second set of hands that lightens the daily load. Deep cleaning is handled by a housekeeper, so your attention will be on everyday upkeep, organization, and staying ahead of tasks.

Responsibilities include (but aren’t limited to):

• Meal prep 2-3 days a week

• Loading/unloading the dishwasher and keeping the kitchen clean

• Children’s and parents’ laundry, making beds, changing sheets, washing towels

• Light bathroom wipe-downs

• Vacuuming, sweeping, dusting baseboards, tidying common areas

• Grocery shopping, returning packages, dry cleaning, and errands

• Restocking pantry and household supplies and keeping a running list of needs

• Organizing cabinets, closets, pantry, garage, and one-off home projects

• Prepping swim bags, keeping the diaper bag stocked and prepping for family trips

• Gift shopping, wrapping, donation drop-offs, and holiday decor help

Childcare will be minimal and only as needed — perhaps a school pickup in a pinch or a quick helping hand with the girls. This family thrives on structure and consistency and keeps a very clean, organized home. They’re flexible on which days you work, but would love a predictable schedule of about 15–20 hours per week ideally across 3 - 4 days. Some weeks may require a bit more support when Dad is traveling or Mom’s schedule is heavier, with advance communication to coordinate needs.

THE IDEAL NANNY IS… PROACTIVE AND ORGANIZED. You don’t wait to be told what needs to be done — you naturally stay ahead of tasks and take pride in keeping a home running smoothly. You’re a true team player who works alongside parents with confidence and initiative. Helpful, communicative, reliable, and punctual, you understand that consistency is key to creating calm in a busy household. You’re detail-oriented and take ownership of your work — from folding laundry just right to keeping supplies stocked and spaces organized. You’re trustworthy, upbeat, and bring a grounded, capable presence into the home.

Most of all, you enjoy supporting a hardworking family so they can focus on enjoying the life they’ve built and being present with their children during these important years. If you love creating order, thrive in an active household, and enjoy being the behind-the-scenes hero who makes everything run better — APPLY today!
