Description

Start: by August 10, 2026

A welcoming, kind family in Belmont is seeking an experienced Nanny / Family Assistant to care for their bright, sweet, and highly verbal 6-year-old son and provide household support. Responsibilities include after-school pick-up, supporting socio-emotional development, engaging in play or reading, light cooking / meal prep, tidying, and family laundry.
