British American Household Staffing•West Hollywood, CA

19h•$40 - $50•Onsite

About The Position

A warm, down-to-earth family in West Hollywood, California, is seeking an experienced full-time nanny to care for their 15-week-old baby girl. The family values kindness, community, nature, and the simple joys of childhood, and is looking for a nurturing, engaging, developmentally focused caregiver who can build a long-term relationship with the family. The ideal candidate has a strong understanding of child development and experience caring for children through multiple developmental stages. Early childhood education and nature-based or Waldorf-inspired learning experience are especially appealing. The family prefers a live-in nanny but will consider exceptional live-out candidates. Live-in accommodations are available in a separate, newly renovated guesthouse with a private bedroom, bathroom, laundry facilities, and access to private outdoor space. The family travels domestically and internationally, and the nanny must accompany them. Trips typically last 1–3 weeks throughout the year, with extended travel of approximately 6–8 consecutive weeks during spring and summer, primarily to the United Kingdom and France. The nanny should be adaptable to extended time away and able to maintain the child's routines while traveling. The schedule is Tuesday through Saturday, with 40 guaranteed hours each week. Sundays and Mondays are off. Tuesday and Friday shifts are 9:00 AM–5:00 PM; Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday shifts are 2:00 PM–10:00 PM.
