Part-time Nanny in Palo Alto, CA for a 3-year-old
About The Position
A bit about us: We’re a tight-knit, open-minded, and considerate family of 4. I’m a hard-working, single Dad living with my elderly parents who love spoiling their grandson. My parents speak English, Taiwanese, and Mandarin. They need to slow down and be less active regarding childcare. We enjoy going out to eat as a family and being together. My 3-year-old son is outgoing, high-spirited, and friendly! He’s an active toddler in pre-K (already potty-trained) who enjoys running around, playing soccer, and throwing a ball. He also loves imaginative play and hugs. A bit about you: You are playful, energetic, and mature. You are a patient, kind, and creative nanny who loves working with toddlers. You’re the type of nanny who is ready to play with toy cars on the floor, get outside for some fresh air and sunshine, and also be firm when it comes to boundaries and teaching good manners. You’re a people person and enjoy what you do! You have some flexibility to work earlier in the day when requested (when the child is sent home from school for mild illness) or to work a little later on occasion.
