Nanny
About The Position
A warm, high-energy family based between San Francisco and Woodside is seeking an exceptional full-time Nanny for their three young children. Both parents work from home and are in and out throughout the day, so this is a true co-parenting partnership, especially with mom. We're looking for someone genuinely creative and thoughtful, who stays plugged into what's fun and engaging in the area, from great local shows to activities that spark exploration and curiosity, and who is truly invested in the children's well-being, minds, and daily engagement. The Nanny should be up for adventure and passport-ready, open to both domestic and international travel if and when the family requests it, always with advance notice. Someone who can genuinely be a right hand during these sometimes stressful travel moments, while bringing their most fun and creative selves along for the ride, is very welcome! The parents also hope to travel alone a few times a year, during which the Nanny would provide full overnight coverage. Important note on flexibility: This role is currently structured for one full-time Nanny, but the family anticipates evolving toward a rotational two-Nanny model in the near future (3.5 days on / 3.5 days off). The right candidate should be genuinely open to this transition and comfortable with a role that will grow and shift over time.

- Legally authorized to work in the US
