Job Description

Family of three is in search of a full-time Nanny / Educator / Family Assistant to help nurture their almost 3 year old daughter’s homeschool education and support their evolving home life. The family leads a dynamic and intentional lifestyle and are hands-on parents that work from home. They intend to homeschool the child with a unique and customized curriculum influenced by Waldorf philosophy.

The family is based primarily in Charleston, SC, with extended time spent at their 200 acre biodynamic farm estate in SC as well as a cabin in the woods in California. They anticipate adding more homes in the future and are seeking someone who enjoys travel and finds comfort in dynamic, ever-evolving rhythms.

Parents are highly involved, which is why this hybrid role splits time between childcare and family assistant duties. Each parent plays a role in the child’s education, and the nanny will act as an extension of the family support system and will hopefully become a trusted mentor to the child, while also assisting in the smooth operations of the home.

Ideal Candidate

This position is perfect for someone warm, intelligent, emotionally attuned, and highly organized — someone who thrives in an environment that blends child-led education, beautiful homemaking, and intentional and seasonal living.

The family seeks a candidate who:

• Brings a deep understanding of early childhood development and a love for Waldorf, Montessori, or Reggio Emilia-inspired learning
• Can gently guide language development, early literacy, numeracy, creativity,  storytelling, and practical life skills
• Has the maturity and emotional intelligence to partner with intuitive, thoughtful parents
• Is energized by both playful learning and behind-the-scenes home support (errands, tidying, light organizing, research, etc.)
• Is comfortable managing a household calendar, coordinating simple travel logistics, and supporting the daily and seasonal rhythms of the home
• Enjoys being outdoors, traveling, and adapting to new spaces
• Is looking to build a long-term relationship with a family

Responsibilities

• Support daily rhythm of homeschool curriculum through storytelling, arts, nature walks, sensory play, music, and early academics
• Maintain organized, beautiful learning and play spaces
• Oversee pet care, car maintenance, and home maintenance
• Assist with family errands, events, and seasonal projects
• Assist family and housekeeper with home organization and light housekeeping
• Support the family during travel, moving, unpacking/packing
• Collaborate with parents, communicate clearly, and uphold family values and privacy

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional experience in early childhood education or care
• Strong knowledge of Montessori, Waldorf, or Reggio Emilia philosophy
• Valid driver's license and passport
• Willing and able to travel several months out of the year
• CPR/First Aid certified (or willing to become certified)
• Bachelor's degree in Education, Child Development, or related field preferred
• Emotionally intelligent, discreet, grounded, and calm in energy

Compensation

$35-$50/hr (DOE) with PTO and healthcare stipend and annual raises
