Overview:
FRANKTOWN, CO (NATIONWIDE SEARCH) - Widowed father is seeking a FULL-TIME LIVE-IN/OUT NANNY/HOUSEHOLD MANAGER for his 2 sons (an 8-year-old boy and a 10-year-old boy). The family is in need of someone who is willing to step in and help care for the household management needs, pick up the kids from school and activities, cook for the family, get kids ready for school, help with homework, and help take the Golden Retriever (therapy dog) on occasional walks if the boys do not do so. The perfect candidate is mature, professional, and displays warmth, compassion, and experience.
The candidate will need to be comfortable stepping in and helping plan birthday parties, events, planning and shopping for the boys' clothes, running errands, and helping with anything to keep the house organized and running smoothly.
