Description

A family in Atherton is seeking a warm, highly organized, and proactive career nanny / household manager. They are hoping to find a long-term nanny/house manager to support their family including care for their two daughters (currently 18 months and 3.5 years old). Right now, there is some overlap with another nanny, but the role will soon transition to full responsibility for both children and they are looking for someone who can grow and evolve as their needs change. The ideal candidate provides excellent childcare while bringing calm, structure, and organization to the home. They value someone who anticipates needs but more than anything they are looking for someone who will become a trusted, long-term part of their family and deeply value the support.

TRAVEL:
Candidates should be flexible and comfortable with traveling, or providing overnight care at their home when the parents are traveling. The nanny is usually needed to travel with them 3-4 times per year with most trips being 10 days max. Trips to England and Brazil are usually two weeks (they have a trip planned for England this summer for 17 days). Hours are extended during travel (sometimes 5 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and flexibility to adjust hours as needed is key.
