Job Description

Overview

NATIONWIDE SEARCH — WESLACO, TX - A warm, close-knit family in Weslaco, TX, 30 minutes from South Padre Island, is seeking a professional, patient, and nurturing FULL-TIME LIVE-IN HOUSEHOLD MANAGER/NANNY to join their household long-term. This is a rare opportunity to build a lasting, family-style role with a household that truly values its caregiver. With two energetic, bubbly, and affectionate young children (ages 4 and 3), this home is filled with laughter, activity, and heart, ideal for a caregiver who is both gentle and highly dependable.

The nanny will support the children's weekday routines, assist with school preparation, help with morning parent support, and lead enriching activities such as arts and crafts, outdoor play, and after-school fun. Their son has well-managed asthma and food allergies, so the ideal candidate should be observant, responsible, and comfortable responding appropriately when needed. The family values flexibility, as schedules may shift with their business commitments, and would welcome someone open to occasional evening, weekend, or travel support. The family travels roughly once a month, so travel is a regular and enjoyable part of the role. A friendly goldendoodle is occasionally in the home, so pet-friendly candidates are welcome.

The schedule guarantees 40 hours per week, generally Monday through Friday at 8 hours per day, with occasional flexibility for a shorter Saturday shift by mutual communication. Morning support is especially valued, including getting coffee going and helping the household start the day smoothly. Candidates may use their own vehicle or the family's, with gas and mileage reimbursed when applicable. The role is based in a sought-after gated golf course community with walking paths and a playground nearby.

A housekeeper handles regular deep cleaning, so the nanny's home-related duties stay light: daily laundry, dishwasher support, and simple meal prep alongside childcare. This is a genuine partnership role, supporting Mom in balancing family life while giving the children a consistent, loving presence. The private accommodations include a dedicated bedroom and bathroom, and the family is currently building their forever home, a spacious estate of roughly 10,000 square feet, which they plan to move into in early 2027, offering long-term stability and room to grow with the family.

Responsibilities include child and home-related organization, light cleaning, laundry, meal preparation, school pick-ups, errands, and being a warm, steady presence for the children. The family prioritizes kindness, communication, and professionalism, and is looking for someone who feels like part of the family from day one.

This position offers $65k+ gross annually based on experience, PTO and sick days, performance-based bonuses, and relocation assistance for the right candidate. If you are reliable, adaptable, nurturing, and ready to grow with an exceptional family long-term, this is an outstanding opportunity.
