About the Family
A warm and organized family in Los Altos is seeking a part-time Nanny/Family Assistant to support their two school-aged children and help keep their home running smoothly. The children are ages four and six, and the family is looking for someone with positive energy who genuinely enjoys spending time with children and being part of a supportive household environment.
The role combines after-school childcare with light family assistant support throughout the week. Driving is a key part of the position, including school pickups and transportation to activities and playdates, and a family car will be provided for work use.

This is a wonderful opportunity for someone looking for a consistent part-time schedule with the possibility of additional hours. The family is hoping to find someone who will stay long-term and become a trusted part of their routine.
