About the Family
This Los Altos family is warm, welcoming, and full of heart. With a thoughtful, grounded mom stepping into an exciting new role at a leading a nonprofit and two sweet, engaging kids, a 10-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son, they are looking for someone who can become part of the rhythm of their home. Their previous nanny built a deep bond with the children and remains cherished, and the family hopes to find someone who brings that same sense of connection, presence, and care. They value their time together as a family, especially around the dinner table, and are eager to welcome a long-term collaborator who can support both childcare and household needs with a team-minded spirit.
Their Ideal Candidate
The family would thrive with someone who brings a warm, energetic, and earnest “big sister” presence for the kids, paired with the organizational skills and flexibility of a family assistant. They are looking for a trustworthy and reliable candidate who enjoys engaging with children in fun, meaningful ways, while also lending a hand to keep the household running smoothly. Someone who takes initiative, adapts easily, and sees themselves as part of the team will be the best fit. Character, energy, and flexibility are valued most highly, and the family is open to candidates newer to nannying if they bring a can-do attitude, genuine love for kids, and resourcefulness.
