Week Nanny information

What is a week nanny?

Week nannies are childcare professionals who provide care and supervision for children during the weekdays, typically from Monday to Friday. They may live with the family during the week or come to the home daily, depending on the arrangement. Week nannies handle daily routines such as preparing meals, taking children to and from school or activities, helping with homework, and engaging in educational play. Their primary role is to support working parents by ensuring the children's needs are met throughout the workweek.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a week nanny?

To thrive as a Week Nanny, you need experience in childcare, a recognized childcare qualification (such as CACHE or NVQ), and often first aid certification. Familiarity with child development milestones, safety protocols, and tools like baby monitors or scheduling apps is typically required. Strong communication, patience, and reliability are essential soft skills for building trust with both children and parents. These skills ensure a safe, nurturing environment and effective support for busy families throughout the week.

What are some common challenges a week nanny may face while managing multiple children in a household?

Week Nannies often encounter challenges such as balancing the needs of different-aged children, adapting to varied routines, and maintaining consistency with parental guidelines. Effective communication with parents and establishing clear expectations are crucial to navigate these situations smoothly. Additionally, Week Nannies must be adept at multitasking, resolving conflicts between children, and managing time efficiently to ensure a structured and nurturing environment throughout the week.

What is the difference between Week Nanny vs Babysitter?

CredentialsChildcare experience, background checks, sometimes certificationsChildcare experience often preferred, background checks vary
Work EnvironmentLong-term, consistent care in family’s homeShort-term, occasional care, often in different locations
Employer & Industry UsageFamilies seeking regular, ongoing childcareParents needing temporary or evening care

Week Nannies typically provide consistent, long-term childcare in a family’s home, often with required certifications and background checks. Babysitters usually offer short-term, occasional care, often without the same level of credentials. Both roles are essential in the childcare industry but serve different needs based on duration and frequency of care.

Start Date: ASAP

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.

Benefits

  • Private bedroom in both residences, fully furnished
  • In Columbus: a separate 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom guest apartment on the property, fully separate from the family home, with its own stove and refrigerator; shared with the au pair
  • In Oconomowoc: a private wing above the kitchen area with two bedrooms and a private bathroom, separate from the family's living quarters; kitchen shared with the household
  • Medical stipend
  • Two weeks of paid time off
  • Federal holidays off, or additional wages if working a holiday
  • Family-provided vehicle for work and personal use
  • Shared household groceries at the Oconomowoc residence
  • Two consecutive days off each week (Sunday and Monday)
  • No overnight responsibilities between 7:00 PM and 7:00 AM, except in an emergency
  • Free to come and go during non-working hours

Responsibilities

Infant Care

  • Provide loving, attentive care for twin infant daughters
  • Feeding, bottle preparation, burping, diapering, and changing
  • Establish and maintain consistent feeding and sleep routines, with attention to wake windows
  • Nap and bedtime preparation; twins go down at 7:00 PM
  • Bathing and general infant care
  • Outdoor walks, age-appropriate play, and developmental engagement
  • Children's laundry and keeping nursery areas organized
  • Monitor and communicate the children's daily schedules and needs
  • Maintain a calm, safe, clean, and nurturing environment
  • Coordinate care and communication with the family's au pair

Family Assistant / Household

  • Coordinate and oversee the day-to-day operation of the household
  • Keep the home organized, tidy, and running efficiently
  • Light to moderate household cleaning and organization
  • Laundry, linens, and general household upkeep
  • Grocery shopping and household errands
  • Meal preparation and cooking, including family meals
  • Keep household supplies stocked and organized
  • Coordinate service providers, deliveries, and maintenance appointments
  • Help organize household schedules and activities
  • Assist with packing, unpacking, and preparing the home when moving between residences
  • Maintain organization of children's clothing, supplies, toys, and equipment
  • Anticipate household needs and take initiative rather than waiting to be asked
  • Other reasonable household and family-support responsibilities associated with the position

Requirements

  • Previous professional experience as a nanny, family assistant, personal assistant, or in household management
  • Significant infant experience is required; multiples experience is a strong plus
  • Current CPR and First Aid certification
  • Immunizations up to date
  • Valid driver's license 
  • Willingness to relocate and to live and work at both residences
  • Strong organizational and time-management skills
  • Excellent communication skills

  • Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with the family and the au pair
