Charlotte’s Best Nanny Agency is assisting a family in Waxhaw, NC, in finding a Full-Time Family Assistant for their 11-year-old daughter. The Family Assistant would typically be needed Monday through Friday, 8:00 am - 4:00 pm. This position requires flexibility, including the ability to start later or stay later as needed, work occasional overnights and weekends, and be available for up to 10 days annually to care for the daughter while the parents are on vacation. Domestic and international travel with the family will be occasionally required.
The best Family Assistant would be loving, organized, proactive, nurturing, and dependable. Their family is looking for a Family Assistant to support their household and provide gentle guidance to their bright and creative daughter. The ideal candidate will be flexible, mature, and able to anticipate the family’s needs while fostering independence..
Their daughter is high-functioning and on the autism spectrum (Level 1). She attends a private Christian school from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM and participates in taekwondo one afternoon per week. She experiences some separation anxiety from her mom and needs reminders and light supervision for personal care tasks, including brushing teeth, bathing, hair washing, and hair brushing. She thrives with structure and consistency and may require additional support during times of transition or change in her routine. Limiting screen time and encouraging her natural interests, reading, puzzles, drawing, and crafts, are important aspects of the role.
This family is seeking a Family Assistant who can commit to a long-term role (up to five years) and become a trusted, consistent presence in their lives. Daily responsibilities include preparing the child for the following school day, assisting with packing her lunch, and helping her stay on track with responsibilities. During the time their daughter is in school, the Family Assistant will work on the household duties listed below. The Family Assistant will also be asked to research and schedule extracurricular activities, attend occasional doctor’s appointments with the child if the mother is unavailable, and step in reliably for last-minute needs.
The mother works from home, and strong communication and teamwork with the family will be essential. Ideally, the best candidate would be someone who respects the family’s parenting approach, can follow directions, and is capable of taking initiative when needed. This is a rewarding opportunity for someone who finds joy in supporting both children and the overall function of a household.
