Jovie of CA, WA, and MN•San Diego, CA

22d•$32 - $38•Hybrid

About The Position

We are two caring, easy-going families who are good friends who had babies around the same time. We both have an older child who will be at preschool the whole day so the focus is on our infants. We enjoy traveling, community, and playing with our kids. We value kindness, creativity, honesty, and collaboration. We are looking for someone who will become a trusted extension of our families and provide loving, attentive care in a positive and engaging environment to our infants. This will be a nanny-share for approximately 4-5 months, but will continue for another month or two with my family full-time, with 1 parent who works from home. My daughter will be 5 months old at the start of the nanny share; she likes her toy piano, smiling, being sung to, and being talked to! She’s pretty calm and observant. My friend’s daughter will be 6 months old at the start and likes cuddles, attention, and being held. She is a happy baby and enjoys stimulating activities and music. You are a patient, joyful, and nurturing nanny. You are a calm yet creative caregiver who isn't afraid to be silly and engaging to create a stimulating environment, while also maintaining gentle boundaries and supporting the girls' self-expression as they grow. You’re a proactive communicator who will share observations on health and development, offer professional suggestions, and remain flexible with scheduling. You are confident in managing two infants but not afraid to ask questions.
