Household dynamic: 

• This kind, down-to-earth Bay Area family is seeking a rotational nanny to join their team and care for their active, curious 18-month-old toddler who loves exploring the world around him! They embrace a child-led experiential approach to childcare and prioritize fostering curiosity, independence, outdoor adventure, and learning through play. The family believes children learn best with real-life experiences and are comfortable with the natural bumps and scrapes that come with exploration. They would love to work with someone who enjoys taking him on hikes, getting him outside to stay active, and engaged. The family also shares their home with cats. 
• This is a relaxed, professional household where both parents are highly involved and intentionally hands-on in their son’s daily life. While both parents work from home at times and travel frequently for work, they prioritize being active in parenting, particularly during evenings and weekends when they typically take the lead. Travel is a part of this role, as the family spends approximately 4-8 weeks traveling throughout the year, and the nanny may accompany them on some trips. They are also supported by an executive assistant and other professional household staff.

The family will highly appreciate an excellent communicator, a thoughtful partner, and someone who approaches their work with discretion, flexibility, and a positive presence. This family values a nanny who can work seamlessly alongside other household staff, and contributes to the warm, welcoming atmosphere they have intentionally created in their home.
• Responsibilities include creating an environment for the child to grow and thrive, child-related household tasks including but not limited to meal prep, tidying, organizing children’s areas, occasional errands, coordinating activities, and traveling with the family throughout the year.
