Part-time Infant and Toddler Nanny in Sunnyvale, CA I Work with a Local Family
About The Position
A local family in Sunnyvale, California, is seeking a nanny to care for two young boys, ages 4.5 years and 22 months. The family values open communication, thoughtful routines, and a playful, positive approach to helping their children learn and grow. The children enjoy trains, building, books, board games, vehicles, story time, and outdoor exploration. The nanny will provide attentive, engaging care, including outings, meal preparation, preschool transportation, and support with the younger child’s bottle and nap routine. The younger child has individualized care needs: water and medication are administered through a G-tube, and the nanny will receive instruction and coaching from the parents. The family’s care plan also includes pre-thickened bottles prepared by the parents, aspiration precautions, and food cut into small pieces. The home is strictly nut-free and dairy-free due to a severe allergy. The nanny must follow the family’s food, hygiene, and illness-prevention protocols, as well as their no-screen-time expectations. During naps, the nanny will complete light child-related household tasks. The role requires driving the children in the nanny’s own vehicle, using car seats installed by the parents, and following safety practices. The schedule is either Mondays and Thursdays or Mondays and Wednesdays, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The family is looking for a long-term arrangement. Applicants first interview with a Jovie specialist; qualifying candidates then meet the family before hiring.
