Nanny
About The Position
This is a wonderful opportunity for an experienced, warm-hearted Nanny to join a loving family as their second Nanny, supporting three young children between the ages of 6 months and 4 years old. This family works as a true co-Nanny team, with two Nannies collaborating fluidly and supporting one another rather than operating in a lead and support structure. Chemistry and teamwork matter deeply here, and the right person will feel like a natural fit within a warm, kind household. Above all, this family is looking for someone who genuinely loves being around children, not someone viewing the role as a stepping stone toward house management. A smart, thoughtful, and emotionally attuned presence matters greatly. The ideal candidate is low ego, collaborative, and open to feedback, with a growth mindset for both themselves and the children. Multilingual ability is strongly preferred, ideally Spanish and/or Portuguese, and experience supporting children with ADHD is a wonderful plus.
Requirements
- A minimum of 3+ years of experience working as a Nanny with very young children, ideally across multiple ages at once
- Low ego, collaborative, and non-defensive, with a growth mindset for both themselves and the children
- Strong communicator, intelligent, and proactive
- Comfortable being physically active throughout the day
- Legally authorized to work in the United States
- Within a commutable distance to Palo Alto area; no out of area candidates will be considered
- Must be willing to undergo an in-depth background check and provide strong employment references
Nice To Haves
- Warm, calming presence; a natural at helping the whole household feel more at ease
- Multilingual ability strongly preferred, ideally Spanish and/or Portuguese
- Experience supporting children with ADHD is a strong plus
- Formal education background is a nice-to-have, not a requirement; genuine warmth, thoughtfulness, and a love of childcare matter most
Responsibilities
- Provide warm, attentive care for three young children alongside a second nanny, functioning as a true team
- Pick up children from school daily
- Support afternoons that vary between at-home playtime, external activities, and outings with one or two children at a time
- Encourage independence and active exploration
- Be physically engaged and active with the children (soccer, swimming, biking, and similar activities)
- Help transition smoothly as the family shifts nanny focus, with one nanny primarily supporting the baby and the new hire focused on the two older children
- Set calm, consistent boundaries with warmth
- Travel with the family occasionally (estimated at up to 4 weeks per year)

- 45-$50 per hour + benefits
