Entry level nannies often encounter challenges such as adjusting to the unique routines and expectations of each family, building trust with both children and parents, and learning to manage multiple tasks like meal preparation, playtime, and light housekeeping.

They often work under the guidance of more experienced caregivers or parents and are eager to learn and grow in their roles.

  • Safely transport children to and from activities as needed

  • Help maintain structure, consistency, and positive routines within the household

Ideal Candidate Qualifications:
  • Prior professional experience as a Family Assistant, Household Manager, Nanny, or similar household support role required

  • Strong experience balancing childcare responsibilities with household management duties

  • Highly organized with strong multitasking and time-management skills

  • Confident managing responsibilities independently and proactively

  • Valid driver's license with clean driving record

  • Reliable personal vehicle for work-related driving; mileage reimbursement provided

  • CPR & First Aid certified (or willing to obtain prior to start)

  • TrustLine certified or willing to complete certification upon hire (California requirement)

  • Able to pass comprehensive background and reference checks

  • Up-to-date on vaccinations

  • Authorized to work in the United States

Ideal Personality Fit:

The ideal candidate is warm yet highly professional, takes initiative naturally, and thrives in a busy household environment. The family values reliability, consistency, strong follow-through, and a proactive mindset. They are looking for someone who can become a trusted long-term support person within the home while confidently managing both childcare and household responsibilities.

Why This Role?

This position provides the chance to become a valued part of a dynamic family while enjoying a manageable, part-time schedule.
