About the Family
Wonderful, down-to-earth family splitting their time between Tahoe City and Berkeley is seeking a warm, flexible, and highly organized part-time nanny/family assistant to become a long-term partner in supporting their home and caring for their sweet 2-year-old son.
This role is ideal for someone looking for a flexible part-time position that could pair well alongside school, another job with flexibility, or someone who enjoys a dynamic role that varies week to week. The family spends approximately half their time in Tahoe and half in Berkeley, so the schedule naturally ebbs and flows depending on when they are in residence.
When the family is in Tahoe, the role is much more childcare-focused and hands-on with their son, including preschool pickup, engaging afternoons, simple meal prep, play, routines, and occasional longer care days or weekend support. When the family is away, the role transitions more toward family assistant support to help keep the household running smoothly and prepared for their return.
The family deeply values warmth, flexibility, initiative, tidiness, and someone who naturally jumps in to help where needed. For the right candidate, this position has strong long-term potential with opportunities for expanded hours, responsibilities, and growth over time. They truly view this as a long-term partnership and are hoping to find someone who becomes an important and trusted part of their lives.
Their son is a bright and active 2-year-old who attends preschool in Truckee. The ideal candidate genuinely enjoys engaging with toddlers through play, conversation, outdoor time, and nurturing routines while also being highly dependable, detail-oriented, and organized behind the scenes.
About the Schedule
The family spends one week in Tahoe City and one week in Berkeley, where they also have a loving nanny in place. The schedule shifts slightly depending on where they are.
When the family is in Tahoe City:
Monday–Wednesday: Preschool pickup, snack time, dinner support, and evening routines, approximately 3:00–7:00 pm
Thursday & Friday: Longer daytime coverage, approximately 9:00 am–5:00 pm
Occasional Saturdays: Either daytime support or evening coverage as needed
When the family is in Berkeley:
20–25 hours/week of Family Assistant support
Tasks include household organization, errands, meal prep, grocery runs, light tidying, and general support to keep the home running smoothly
The family has a cat in Tahoe City, so comfort with pets is important
