Position Overview

A private family in Wisconsin is seeking an experienced, organized, and proactive full-time live-in Nanny / Family Assistant. The family divides its time between two residences in Columbus and Oconomowoc, and the position follows the family between both homes, so flexibility and a willingness to live and work at each location are essential.

The primary focus of this role is attentive care for twin infant daughters, paired with family assistant and household support responsibilities completed around the children's routines. The nanny works alongside a live-in au pair, with childcare coverage and some household responsibilities shared between them; the nanny is the primary caregiver and the lead on household organization. A cleaning service is also in place.

The family is looking for someone who takes genuine initiative, balances childcare and household tasks well, and brings a calm, patient presence to infant care. This is a long-term opportunity for a candidate who enjoys both hands-on infant care and keeping a well-run household. The area is small-town rather than urban, and Wisconsin winters are demanding, so candidates comfortable with both will be the strongest fit.
