PT Nanny Needed in Charlottesville, VA
Part Time Career Nanny Needed for Special Needs Children
A warm family of four is seeking an experienced part-time special needs nanny to supplement the care provided by their full-time nanny. This position focuses primarily on evening and weekend coverage, providing consistent, compassionate support for two young children with developmental differences.
This position has a start date of August 14, 2026, and is anticipated to include Sundays from 12:00 PM–5:30 PM and Monday through Thursday from 2:00 PM–5:30 PM, with flexibility for the right candidate and the potential to transition into a full-time role in the future.
The family's oldest child is a six-year-old with Level 3 Autism Spectrum Disorder who is highly active, sensory-seeking, and thrives with confident leadership. He requires assistance with some activities of daily living, including dressing and bathing.

The family is seeking someone who is knowledgable and enjoys taking initiative and views their role as making life easier for parents while becoming a trusted, long-term member of the family's caregiving team.
