They are seeking someone who is fun & hands-on, super engaging and interactive, attentive, and who truly appreciates the magic of children! This job is demanding and accommodating around the family's influx schedule. Pay is open + PTO + full benefits and car provided. They are looking for someone who is very flexible in their approach and understands life happens; you can be organized and follow a schedule; but they do not want anyone too rigid.

They truly value privacy and loyalty!
Schedule is part-time evening help M-F (ie. 2PM-8PM) and heavy weekends (Saturdays 10AM-10PM and Sundays 12-8PM). They do have a housekeeper who also helps with the infant 7:30AM-4PM M-F. Duties will include: wrangling older children to and from school & activities (gymnastics, tennis; running errands, etc.). You are in charge of their school calendar and always being two steps ahead to help best prepare them for the following day! The job requires heavy travel (vacation, family work trips, ranches, beach house) and who is also capable of managing full care when the parents travel without the children. Vaccines are not required but might be required for travel, so must be open to it. Must have a valid passport and be an advanced swimmer (lakes, oceans, pools).

The children are just a trip! The eldest is emotionally aware, a bit anxious, very creative, intelligent, caring, and a perfectionist. She likes rules, loves playing and being with friends. The 6 yr old is very physical and sporty but also loves make up and dress up. She is social and loves her big sister. The 3 yr old is shy, momma's girl, sweet, caring, loves to help. She does not like to be by herself. She is playful, loves babies and playing. The 3 month old boy is a chill, easy baby. He likes to be held a lot. They live in a high-end part of town and within walking distance to everything!
Their household staff is a family who has been with them for 8 yrs, and have set daytime hours. Nanny will not have overlapping childcare and will be fully responsible for children during working hours. Must get along with long term staff. Ultimately, they are looking for someone who can collaborate with discipline in the household. They are seeking a full time nanny so they can spend more quality time with kids individually and in smaller groups vs a lot of quantity now. They are open to someone that will be proactive and offer suggestions. They need a worker among workers that has a balance of humility and confidence. They are a very generous family and very loyal once there is a good fit.
