Full-Time Temporary Nanny in San Diego, CA for a 15-month-old
About The Position
A bit about us: We are a thoughtful, easy-going, and inclusive family of 3 seeking a collaborative and engaging nanny for our active 15-month-old son. We enjoy laughing, playing, and going to brunch with friends. Both of us parents work in the mental health field: I’m a child psychologist, and Dad is a licensed therapist and crisis clinician. We value communication, critical thinking, and kindness in our home. We enjoy exposing our child to new experiences, cultures, and diverse perspectives. We are seeking a temporary nanny to join us ASAP until early May, when our kiddo may start daycare. Our 15-month-old son is a playful, energetic, and adventurous toddler!
