Live In Forward Observations Group Jobs in California

A warm, active family in Presidio Heights, San Francisco, is seeking two exceptional career ROTA nannies to help care for their son, born in June 2026. The anticipated schedule will be 1-2 weeks/1-2 weeks off, depending on the final team structure and the needs of the family.

This position will ideally begin in mid-December or early January, with the possibility of an earlier start for the right candidate.

The family prioritizes creating a loving, kind, curious, and emotionally supportive home. The family are seeking seasoned professionals who can support this environment and understand the importance of smooth handoffs, consistent routines, and excellent communication between caregivers.

There are three accommodation arrangements available, depending on the successful candidates’ circumstances and final alignment with the family:

• Live-in: Live-in the family’s home during working rotations and live-out when off-duty
• Private accommodation provided: Provision of a bedroom in a private apartment close to family’s home during working rotations, and live-out when off-duty.
• Live-out: A fully live-out arrangement for suitable local candidates (both during working rotations and off duty).

Both parents work. Dad travels frequently, and Mom will spend significant time at home and with their son. They are looking for nannies who will build a close, collaborative partnership with Mom day to day—sharing observations, ideas, and responsibilities while helping create a consistent and nurturing environment for their son.
