About The Position

We are an active, family-oriented household in Poway looking for a warm, experienced nanny to care primarily for our infant daughter who is currently about 6 months old. We also have an energetic 8-year-old son who is high-functioning autistic, incredibly smart, and enjoys staying engaged through activities, classes, and learning opportunities. He attends school during the academic year, and will occasionally be home during school breaks, holidays, and summer vacation, so we're looking for someone who can build a positive relationship with both children. Our family values trust, communication, engagement, and creating enriching experiences for our children. Mom currently works from home most days, and both parents maintain busy professional schedules, so we're seeking someone dependable who can confidently manage the day while keeping our daughter safe, stimulated, and thriving. We love spending time together exploring activities, classes, parks, and community events, and hope to find a nanny who shares our enthusiasm for child development and active learning. The ideal candidate is a nurturing, energetic, and highly reliable caregiver with significant infant experience and a strong understanding of developmental milestones. They genuinely enjoy helping children learn and grow through play, outings, and age-appropriate activities, and bring a proactive, self-starting approach to their work. Excellent communication skills, the ability to keep parents informed, welcome feedback, and exercise sound judgment independently are essential. Experience supporting children with special needs or working with children on the autism spectrum, and the ability to remain patient, calm, and adaptable when caring for both children during school breaks or occasional coverage needs is highly desirable.
