About the Family
This thoughtful and active family in Kentfield is searching for a caring nanny/household assistant to join their home. They have two children—a 7-year-old and a 4-year-old—with rhythms that require structure and warmth. Their longtime nanny of seven years is stepping back, and they’re eager to find a new caregiver who values consistency, integrity, and a tidy home environment. They appreciate someone who understands the value of balance — firm boundaries and loving engagement, with reliability and respect.
Their Ideal Candidate
The best match will be someone nurturing and attentive yet able to maintain clear and consistent boundaries. You should bring warmth and openness, strong communication, and a proactive mindset. Experience with school-age children is essential, especially navigating transitions like school pick-ups, homework support, and after-school routines. You should enjoy being of service — helping with errands, meal prep, and household tasks — while treating the home with care and keeping spaces organized. Flexibility for occasional “date night” shifts or weekend travel is valued. A clean driving record and comfortable driving are required.
Responsibilities
Pick up the younger child from school at 12:30 PM and manage school drop-offs/pick-ups for the older child’s after-school activities
Provide attentive, safe care, support emotional and developmental needs, and foster rapport and trust
Assist with homework, structure routines, and encourage accountability in the children
Grocery shopping (especially mornings)
Meal prep and planning for the children
Light cleaning, tidying of children’s areas, and laundry assistance
Be open to additional hours or date-night shifts as needed
Occasional travel to their Tahoe home during summer, long weekends, or holidays (if willing)
Requirements
3-5 + years of childcare experience, ideally with school-aged children
Teaching, tutoring, or similar youth-focused background strongly preferred
Family assistant or similar household support experience
Own a reliable car and be comfortable driving children to after-school activities (Family car can be provided)
Tech-savvy (Google Calendar, Amazon, Instacart)
Must-Have Qualifications:
Excellent communication skills and fluency in English
CPR and First Aid certification (or willingness to obtain).
Valid driver's license with a clean driving record is a must
Legal authorization to work in the United States.
Impressive references from past employers
Willingness to undergo background checks and DMV check
Current vaccinations, including flu, Tdap, and proof of COVID-19 vaccination and boosters.
