Full Time Nanny & Family Assistant
Quick Summary
Job Title: Nanny & Household Manager Location: Bentonville, AR 72712 Employment Type: Full-Time | 40–45 hours per week Schedule: Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM.
Requirements
~1 min readPhase 1 — Before the Baby Arrives: Our older child is in full-time daycare, so the initial focus will be heavily on household management — meal prep, organization, errands, vendor coordination — alongside pre-baby setup and nursery prep.
Phase 2 — During Maternity Leave (starting February): The primary focus shifts to supporting our family by caring for our toddler when he's home, while continuing to manage key household rhythms so that mom can focus fully on the newborn.
Phase 3 — After Maternity Leave: Infant care becomes the top priority. Once both parents return to work, primary daytime care for the newborn takes precedence until the baby transitions to daycare after year one. Even as childcare takes center stage, you will own light daily maintenance — primarily family meal prep, laundry and linens, and basic kitchen reset and tidying.
The ideal candidate is someone who has worked in household or family support roles and genuinely thrives in a home environment. You're proactive — you notice what needs to be done and do it without being asked. You're punctual, reliable, and you communicate early and clearly when something comes up. You're resourceful enough to get three quotes for a renovation and organized enough to track grocery subscriptions, prep for houseguests, and pack a toddler's bag for a weekend trip, all in the same week. You love kids and are comfortable around little ones, knowing that the childcare component of this role will grow significantly over time. Former nannies looking to step into a household management role — or experienced newborn care specialists open to a blended role — are especially encouraged to apply.
We're looking for someone whose core strength and passion is infant and childcare, and who is genuinely enthusiastic about handling household management upfront and maintaining key household rhythms over time.
