About the Family
A warm, busy family in Corte Madera is looking for an experienced, proactive Nanny/Family Assistant to join their household and care for their three young children, ages 18 months, 3 years, and 5 years.
The children attend three different schools/daycare programs, so this position is ideal for someone organized, comfortable juggling multiple schedules, and confident managing the logistics of a busy household with three young children.
The family currently has a wonderful au pair who will soon be returning to her home country. They have loved how proactive, caring, and invested she has been in their children and home. Ideally, their new nanny will begin before she leaves so there can be some overlap and a smooth transition.
Duties & Responsibilities

Manage children’s laundry, clothing, toys, and belongings

During the hours when the children are at school or daycare, responsibilities may include:
Children’s laundry and household laundry as agreed upon
Organizing children’s clothing, toys, bedrooms, and play spaces
Light household tidying and resetting common areas
Loading and unloading the dishwasher
Grocery shopping and household errands
Children’s meal and snack preparation
Light family meal preparation as needed
Keeping household and children’s supplies stocked and organized
Preparing backpacks, activity bags, and items needed for upcoming days
Helping with returns, pickups, drop-offs, and other family errands
Maintaining organization throughout the household

Their Ideal Candidate
The family would love to find someone who is warm, capable, proactive, and genuinely invested in the children.
Their current au pair has set a wonderful example of the qualities they value most: she truly loves the children, takes initiative, notices what needs to be done, and consistently puts care into doing things well. They are hoping to find a nanny who brings that same sense of ownership and commitment to the role.
The ideal candidate has experience caring for multiple young children and can confidently move between the needs of an 18-month-old, 3-year-old, and 5-year-old. They should be playful and engaging while also being comfortable setting boundaries and providing structure.
They are looking for someone who is fully present with the children and not frequently on their phone, who thinks ahead, comes up with activities, and enjoys actively participating in the children’s lives.
A strong, safe driver is essential, as the children attend three different schools and programs. Organization, punctuality, reliability, and the ability to keep track of multiple schedules will be very important.
A natural “pitch-in” attitude is equally important. This family will appreciate someone who sees themselves as part of the household team and is happy to step in wherever needed.
Above all, they are hoping to find a loving, dependable, energetic, and highly capable Nanny / Family Assistant who can become a trusted and valued part of their family’s everyday life.
To ensure the success of our nanny position, we have established the following requirements:
A minimum of 5 years of recent, professional experience in childcare.
Strong English communication skills, both verbal and written.
Impressive references from past employers, demonstrating reliability, professionalism, and exceptional childcare skills.
Willingness to undergo two background checks, namely Trustline and Nanny Verify, ensuring the safety and security of our children.
Valid U.S. citizenship or work authorization.
Possession of a valid driver's license with a clean driving record.
CPR certification (if applicable).
Current vaccinations, including flu, Tdap, and proof of Covid-19 vaccination and boosters.
