Job Description

Charlotte’s Best Nanny Agency is assisting a family in Myers Park in finding a temporary Nanny for their 5-year-old daughter while she recovers from hip surgery. The nanny would be needed three days a week, either Monday - Wednesday or Tuesday - Thursday is preferred, 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM.

This temporary nanny role focuses on providing compassionate, attentive 1:1 care for the family's 5-year-old daughter as she recovers from hip surgery and heals in a half-body cast.
