Description

A large, busy family in Los Gatos is seeking a nanny / household assistant to provide care for their two young children as well as as household/personal assistance. They have a 3-year-old girl and a 5-month-old baby. They have extended family who live nearby and they often shuffle between one another’s homes, so someone who is comfortable interacting with stay-at-home parents, grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles is important – they are very much one big happy family! Their baby has a dedicated mother’s helper but this person should be comfortable stepping in as needed to care for both children simultaneously.

Responsibilities include child-related driving, laundry, cooking, and planning activities, as well as household-related tasks including running errands, making travel arrangements, organization, and vendor management.

Ultimately, the best person for them is education-focused, organized and proactive, and will cultivate their children’s interests, curiosity, and creativity. They are looking for someone grounded, detail-oriented, and genuinely loving and kind with their kids.
