Household dynamic:

• This chill, quiet, and globally-minded family recently relocated to Little Rock and just welcomed their third child, an adorable newborn boy. Their older two children, aged 11 and 10, are currently homeschooled, and the family plans to enroll them in school starting in the ‘26-’27 academic year. Right now, they are following an online curriculum and supplementing it with additional outside lessons, like piano lessons. Their oldest child, who is in sixth grade, enjoys art and reading, while their fourth-grade son likes building with Legos and participating in physical activities. Their son is mildly neurodivergent: he can be picky about food, especially texture, and sometimes gets overstimulated. He benefits from someone who is patient and can provide structure and a day-to-day plan to help keep him at ease. Both children love riding bikes with their friends next door and playing iPad games with friends from their old hometown. They have a solid morning routine: they wake up, eat breakfast, and then begin computer work before moving on to play or activities. Depending on the day, they go to various outside activities/lessons. Weekends are mostly off for them. The family also shares their home with three small dogs.
• Both parents are full-time physicians with busy and often unpredictable schedules. They tend to be homebodies but enjoy finding fun activities when they can. Mom likes baking, the outdoors, culture, and politics, while Dad is into language, technology, building/fixing, and relaxing. Dad will be taking three months of paternity leave starting in December, when Mom returns to work. With the newborn at home and the older kids still homeschooling, the family knows that having one parent at home managing everything will be a lot, so finding the perfect support is important. This is a Christian household where English is the primary language, and the family enjoys learning about different cultures and languages. The family travels for a few weeks throughout the year, most often to visit family, but they also plan special trips once or twice annually. Next year, they are planning to visit Iceland! Their home is also supported by a weekly housekeeper. They hope to find a long-term nanny who can grow with them.

Ideal candidate:

• This position is ideal for a calm, laid-back, and confident nanny/family assistant who brings strong experience in caring for newborns and toddlers and fostering their holistic growth and development while supporting a busy, vibrant home. Someone who can maintain a clear sense of structure and consistency throughout the day and follow through will be an excellent fit. The family tends to be a little more laid-back in their parenting style. They want the children to have independence and free will, while also fostering respect, rules, and responsibilities. They would value a nurturing and decisive caregiver who can model good habits for the children and gently motivate them to clean up after themselves and contribute to the household. The ideal candidate is someone who can actively assist older children with homework and after-school routines. Patience and a basic understanding of kids on the spectrum, food aversions/sensitivities, and navigating big emotions are essential, especially for their older son, who occasionally has big emotions when he’s tired or hungry.
• Adaptability is important for this role! Both parents lead a busy lifestyle, so an adaptable candidate who can manage the family schedule, anticipate their needs, and pitch in with family assisting tasks, such as preparing daily meals, picking up grocery orders, and helping create an organized home, will be beneficial.
• Responsibilities include creating an environment for the children to grow and thrive, child-related household tasks, including but not limited to meal prep, tidying, organizing of children’s areas, occasional errands, before and after school routines, coordinating activities, and traveling with the family throughout the year. Family assisting duties are running errands, light meal planning and preparation, grocery shopping, coordinating vendors, and managing the family calendar.
• While not a requirement for the role, the family would love to work with a candidate who is comfortable preparing meals for the entire family and/or has a car they are comfortable using for transporting children during working hours

‍

Qualifications:

• 3 years of professional childcare experience
• Newborn/infant/toddler experience
• Bachelor's degree or higher
• Family assisting experience
• Travel nanny experience
• Able to swim and care for children in water
• Knowledgeable and confident in supporting neurodivergent children
• Dog-friendly
• Valid driver's license
