HN459 - Full-Time Nanny/Family Assistant - Sunnyvale, CA
About The Position
A family in Sunnyvale, California, is seeking a career nanny/family assistant for three children, ages 3, 7, and 9. The children are generally at school until 3:30 p.m. The role emphasizes childcare and building warm, strong relationships with the children; a specific degree or diploma is less important to the family. The regular schedule is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.; Tuesday from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. for date night (the family can choose another evening if preferred); and Thursday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. The position is approximately 35 hours per week. Hours could increase to 40 per week if the candidate is open to weekends or longer days. The family typically travels for 6–8 weeks each year, and the nanny is paid during that time. The family would like the nanny to take vacation during their travel periods, which can include up to three weeks in summer and two weeks in winter. The family also takes three shorter weeklong trips annually and would ideally like the nanny to join some of them. Before the children return from school, duties may include child-related laundry, preparing simple meals, and tidying the children’s rooms. After school, the focus is on the children, with household tasks handled as time permits. The family has a weekly cleaning service and will provide a car for school pickup. The job is described as starting now.
