Busy, single mom in Mid-City is seeking an experienced, steady, and compassionate family assistant to help care for her two children, ages 14 and 10, and bring structure, calm, and consistency to a household navigating significant life changes.
The 14-year-old son has emotional regulation challenges and benefits from a caregiver who is confident, grounded, and experienced supporting children with complex emotional and behavioral needs.

The family currently works with a behavioral therapist several hours per week, and the nanny will be part of a broader support team.
