The Short Family

West Ashley, Charleston$15/hr | 1 kid

Our son is 8 years old and is high functioning on the spectrum. He is home schooled with the K12.com curriculum. This job would include being his learning coach and would be FT during the week. Hours vary slightly but start at 7:30am and end depending on the day around 3:00 - 4:00. We are looking for a long term nanny as he doesn't like a lot of change. We just lost our nanny so this job would start immediately. He does go to therapy at the clinic 3 days a week so you would need to have reliable transportation to be able to drop him off at the clinic before going home for the day. This would also entail taking him to Drs appointments when needed sometimes. He has a jump monthly pass at Summit Adventure park which is right down the road from us that he loves to go to. He enjoys video games, playing with cars and playing outside. We are looking for a nanny that is able to be puntcual, reliable, dependable, honest and trustworthy. He needs someone that can be firm with him as well. He is a sweetheart but is a boy and with one on one attention, he does very well. Mom and Dad both work during the day. You would get a certain amount of paid vacation time and sick time along with a few paid Holidays. We do have a small dog, a Min Pin, who will be 10 years old this year. He needs to be let out during the day but pretty much sleeps all day and barks if someone comes to the door. Our son has a school room downstairs which enables him to "go to school", to prevent distractions. We are looking forward to meeting you and talking with you soon!

The Witty Family

Ansonborough, Charleston$15/hr | 1 kid

My name is Erin. My husband and I have a son who was born in June 2022. While I understand this is a site to find a nanny, what we are really seeking is a Family Assistant (FA). The ideal candidate is likely a student who lives downtown (we live by Marion Square) and is looking for some extra income (we expect 2-5+ hours per week). There will be a lot of flexibility to work around another job and class schedules. (Please ignore the schedule indicated in my profile - the site required me to fill something out).

Below are examples of tasks we asked our previous FA to complete:
- Grocery shopping (Harris Teeter/Trader Joe’s)
- Folding laundry
- Flipping the carriage house to prepare for next guests
- Vacuuming
- Wiping kitchen counters
- Loading/unloading dishwasher
- Assembling bottles
- Returning purchases
- Meal prep (FA does NOT need to be a good cook!)
- Wrapping gifts

Once trust is established, this person might be asked to babysit on occasion, if the FA has interest.

Hope to hear from you!

The Alexander Family

James Island, Charleston$14/hr | 3 kids

I need somebody to care for my babies while I'm at work. We just moved here and are struggling to find care. I work as a restaurant manager, so my day starts at 10:30, 12, or 2. My husband ends work at 5, so it's for the in-between times. 3 to 4 days a week. Between 20 and 30 hours per week. My kids are energetic and sweet! We want somebody who will interact, and maybe even do outings, once everybody feels comfortable. My oldest will be in school next year, so there will only be 3 through the summer. We do have a dog, if you're keeping them at my house.

The Graviet Family
