THEIR GENUINE NANNY
Meet our Daisy Family!
Welcome to our warm and loving family! We currently reside in the beautiful town of Portola Valley, California, and we are excitedly preparing to move to our new home in the picturesque Woodside. With our third child on the way, our two existing nannies will primarily care for the newborn, making you an invaluable part of our team and our children's lives.
As a dedicated nanny, your primary responsibility will be caring for our two wonderful girls, aged 5.5 and 3.5, who currently attend kindergarten and preschool. The youngest has preschool on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with half-days. You'll play a pivotal role in getting them ready for school, dropping them off, and coordinating their after-school activities.
Although we are both full-time working professionals, we prioritize family and maintain a close-knit and welcoming atmosphere. We take an active role in our children's lives and development. Over the years, we have built strong and loving relationships with our caregivers, fostering a cohesive environment in our home. Our current nannies have been with us for several years, and we eagerly look forward to introducing a new member to our team!
Education is of utmost importance to us, and we are seeking a candidate who can further our girls' educational development outside of the classroom. Ideally, you will have a degree or relevant training in child development or the educational space.
We enjoy trips to our second home in Tahoe and may venture to other locations as well. We are looking for someone who is happy to travel with us during school breaks in winter, spring, and summer seasons.
Our home features a swimming pool, so it is important that you are comfortable in the water. We also have an adorable hypoallergenic dog, so being pet-friendly is essential. Housekeeping and meal preparation are mostly taken care of, with the primary focus of this position being the care and educational development of the two older children.
We are seeking a results-focused team player who can help our girls make progress in their social, emotional, and educational development. Initiative and self-motivation are highly valued traits in our nanny. We appreciate someone with conviction and a Type-A personality who can take the lead when needed. A family car will be provided while on duty.
If you are a nurturing and education-oriented nanny who would love to become part of our warm and welcoming family, we can't wait to meet you! Please apply with your resume and references through our agent at Genuine Nannies.
Requirements:
Ages of children: 6, 4, and a 2-month-old infant. This is a team-minded role, and the nanny will be supported by other nannies, staff, and parents.
Start date/Contract dates: As soon as we find a great fit.
Schedule: Full-time, guaranteeing 50 hours per week, with a general schedule falling on Monday through Friday from 7 am to 5 pm. Additional hours for evenings, weekends, and travel will be requested in advance and appreciated.
This position is ideal for someone who can support the children's academic development while nurturing their social and emotional growth. Experience working on a nanny team and in a fully-staffed home is highly valued.
Responsibilities include supporting morning and after-school routines, homework help, driving to and from activities, and engaging in educationally and developmentally appropriate play and activities. Candidates must be able to travel with the family and maintain organization, routines, and task management both at home and while traveling. This role also involves communicating with other team members, sharing meal prep and grocery shopping, light pet care, and supporting the children in tidying up after themselves.
While not a requirement for this role, we would love to work with a nanny who enjoys swimming, skiing, and traveling, and who possesses a Bachelor's degree in an education-related field or teaching credentials with elementary-aged children.
To ensure the success of our nanny position, we have established the following requirements:
A minimum of 5+ years of recent, professional experience in a nanny role.
Strong English communication skills.
Impressive references from past employers.
Willingness to pass two background checks.
Ability to make at least a 2-4+ year minimum commitment.
U.S. citizenship or work authorization.
Valid driver's license and clean driving record.
CPR certification (if applicable).
Current vaccinations, including flu, Tdap, and proof of Covid-19 vaccination and boosters.
