Overview
A kind and busy family of six in Houston, Texas are seeking a full-time ROTA nanny for their 4 children under 8-years-old to start in the Fall. The general schedule will be one week on/one week off with 12 hour days, but flexibility is a huge component of the position, and the family needs a team-player in case they have an event at night or travel. There will be extended travel in the winter and summer so nannies will split the travel with an agreed upon schedule. This is a loving and laid-back family who are looking for someone whose temperament can mesh with theirs. They would love to find someone who wants to stay with them long-term, and they are flexible on what the position looks like/how it grows.
