Household dynamic:

• These high-energy, systems-minded, and empathetic parents recently welcomed their first child and are seeking a nanny/family assistant to provide exceptional care while creating a fully immersive Japanese, Mandarin and/or Spanish language environment from day one. Childcare and language immersion are the central focus of the role. The candidate will speak exclusively in the target language with the child throughout the day, with a focus on providing live, responsive, child-directed speech. As the child grows, the nanny/family assistant will also support developmental milestones, arrange for the child to interact with other speakers of the target language, foster intellectual curiosity, and encourage child-led exploration through responsive caregiving, reading, play, and age-appropriate outings and activities. While parents will initially be present during childcare and may later occasionally check in briefly, the goal is for childcare during work hours to eventually take place away from parents to protect immersion and support caregiver autonomy. Coordination and check-ins with parents will occur in English and out of the child’s earshot. Both parents are eager to learn conversational basics in the target language alongside their child to support immersion.
• These entrepreneurial first-time parents are analytical, creative, empathetic, and genuinely engaged. They describe their household as high-energy, very engaged, and thoughtful, with a planning style that embraces both intentionality and adaptability as new information emerges. The family sees themselves as a guardrails-and-autonomy household, and is clear about a few non-negotiables: immersion, safety, development, and screen safety, while genuinely wanting a candidate with sound judgment who can confidently run the day independently within those boundaries. Warm, direct, and down-to-earth, they value humility, kindness, practical competence, and proactive and direct communication and are seeking a candidate who naturally embodies those same qualities.
• The parents are seeking a candidate who can maintain a respectful, low-pressure approach around the child. The home is vegetarian, screen-free, and social media-free, with a strong emphasis on health, outdoor exploration, and learning through experience. Family outings to zoos, aquariums, botanical gardens, and national parks are part of their rhythm. The family splits their time between Charlotte and the Big Island of Hawaii, with occasional travel to other regional destinations. Alternating between their two homes is a meaningful and regular part of their lifestyle, and the nanny/family assistant will be an integral part of these adventures. The nanny/family assistant will be invited to join family outings and lead appropriate outings independently when their child grows.

Ideal candidate:

• This position is ideal for an intelligent, developmentally minded, team-oriented, safety-conscious nanny/family assistant who brings advanced fluency in Japanese, Mandarin, or Spanish and a passion for supporting language acquisition in early childhood stages. The family is seeking someone with a clear, natural pronunciation and consistently accurate grammar suitable for modeling language for a child throughout the day. The ideal candidate is perceptive, creative, self-confident, calm, with a positive attitude and a genuine love of working with young children. An upbeat nanny/family assistant who is excited to foster communication, curiosity, and learning through everyday interactions, reading, play, exploration, and real-world experiences will be a wonderful fit. Grounded in nurturing and evidence-based child development, they are comfortable supporting emotional development through co-regulation, empathy, respectful boundaries, and child-led exploration -  with healthy limits while encouraging the child's unique interests, temperament, and emerging preferences. The home prioritizes empathy, health, and happiness. They are looking for a candidate who encourages the child’s natural interests and drives, while maintaining age-appropriate structure and limits.
• As first-time parents who value direct communication and continuous learning, the family is seeking a caregiver who can confidently take ownership of the day while partnering thoughtfully with parents. The right candidate is team-minded, nurturing, and confident, someone who brings experience, perspective, and sound judgment while remaining collaborative and open to family values and preferences. During downtimes, the candidate will help support household tasks, so someone willing to pitch in where needed and naturally takes initiative in maintaining an organized home will be an excellent fit. Since the family enjoys enriching, outdoor-oriented activities, they would love to work with a candidate who enjoys outings and learning-by-doing while staying aligned with their safety-conscious, screen-free approach. Travel between the family’s two home bases is an essential part of the role. The ideal candidate is travel-ready, adaptable, and able to provide consistent, reliable support as the family transitions between residences and navigates life on the road.
• This role’s primary responsibilities include creating an environment for the child to grow and thrive, child-related household tasks including but not limited to meal prep, tidying, organizing children’s areas, occasional errands, before and after school routines, coordinating activities, and traveling with the family throughout the year. As the child’s needs allow, up to 15% of this role’s hours may consist of general family assisting duties such as running errands, light cleaning, simple meal planning and preparation, grocery shopping, coordinating vendors, scheduling/arranging home service providers (handymen, cleaners, etc), and managing the family calendar.
