THEIR GENUINE NANNY
Meet Our Gardenia Family!
About the Family
Our proud new parents are thrilled to welcome a nanny to their warm Mill Valley home, where their sweet 8-month-old baby boy and spunky lab bring plenty of joy and energy to the day. The family loves science, curiosity, and spending time outdoors, and both parents work in tech. While mom is currently home, she’s planning to transition back to work, and the family will sometimes be in the house—but will always make sure their nanny has space to focus on their son. They’re excited to welcome someone who shares their curiosity, energy, and joy for life!
Our family is flexible with both start and end times, as well as the specific days of the week. They are happy to adjust the schedule to find a rhythm that works well for everyone.
Their Ideal Candidate
The family is looking for a caring, playful, and engaged nanny who loves working with infants and brings patience, creativity, and warmth to every day. Someone who enjoys outdoor time, encourages curiosity, and supports developmental milestones will be a perfect fit. Comfort around a large, energetic dog is essential (though the parents handle the actual pet care).
Flexibility, reliability, and ease in a household where parents may be working from home are highly valued. While family assistant support is a bonus, the primary focus is attentive, loving care for their son. The family is happy to be flexible with hours and schedule to find the perfect match for their home.
