Household dynamic:
- This close-knit, growing family in the Bay Area is seeking a nanny to provide newborn care and support the family through this meaningful life chapter. The role will begin with 8-12 weeks of overnight newborn care and will transition into a long-term role. In the standard nanny role, the candidate will continue to primarily care for their newborn while occasionally supporting and engaging with the family’s two older children, ages 5 and 7, during overlapping hours. Their older children, who are each other’s best friends, attend school during the weekdays. The oldest is interested in reading, music, tennis, fencing and art, while the younger brother enjoys running around, Hot Wheels, puzzles and helping out in the kitchen. They both love playing games, building Legos, reading books, and spending time at the beach or riding their bikes. The family also has a non-allergenic dog, so someone comfortable around pets is important.
- One parent works in the office, while the other is regularly in and out of the home throughout the day. They value collaboration and operate in a tag-team spirit. Currently, the family is supported by another Adventure Nanny, who will remain part of the family team, overlapping with the candidate during transitions and tag-teaming afternoons with Mom. The family likes to get outside, and the parents love to ski, surf, and run around the neighborhood! They love planning extended domestic trips to places like Montana and Colorado, and are open to more international adventures in the future as their children grow.
Ideal candidate:
- This position is ideal for a warm, positive, and nurturing nanny who is excited to support the family as they welcome their newest addition. The family is hoping to find someone with the right attitude and presence to fit naturally into their team-oriented home. The nanny will primarily care for the newborn, so someone experienced with all aspects of newborn care, including overnight support, is essential. The right candidate is someone who brings a calm, caring approach during the overnight newborn phase and transitions effortlessly into a long-term role where adaptability and collaboration are key. Someone who enjoys cooking and meal prep for their baby will be highly valued.
- The ideal candidate will also enjoy engaging with the family’s older children and be ready to jump in to support the family whenever needed. A true-partner approach and a willingness to work alongside the family and other household members will be a wonderful fit. The family also enjoys traveling, so someone adaptable and experienced in providing support to families while traveling is essential.
- Responsibilities include creating an environment for the children to grow and thrive, child-related household tasks, including but not limited to meal prep, tidying, organizing children’s areas, managing newborn care routines, after-school routines, coordinating activities, and traveling with the family throughout the year.
- While not a requirement, the family would love to work with a certified NCS and/or a candidate who has an educational degree or early childhood education (ECE) units.
Qualifications:
- 3 years of professional childcare experience
- Knowledge and experience with age-appropriate development for preschool through early elementary-age children
- Newborn experience (with overnight care) with at least 2 different families
- Dog-friendly and is comfortable with dogs
- Valid driver’s license
- Fully vaccinated (MMR, Tdap, Flu, Covid)
