Bilingual (Japanese/English) Part-time Nanny in Irvine, CA for a Newborn and 8-year-old
About The Position
We are a calm, kind, and academically-minded family who values honesty, logic, and clear communication. We prioritize respectful language, emotional awareness, and kindness in our home. We’re looking for a trusted partner to provide nurturing care and support for our growing family. Our baby boy will make his debut around mid-April and we can’t wait to meet him! Our 8-year-old enjoys art, imaginative play, bike rides to the park, and practicing piano daily. She is sensitive, sweet, and gets along really well with people who are gentle and kind. She goes to a Japanese school on Saturdays which is the reason we’d love a nanny who is bilingual in Japanese and English. You are warm, patient, and genuinely caring—especially with children who may feel anxious in new situations. You are bilingual in Japanese and English, experienced with newborns (0–12 months), and confident supporting infant routines.
