Household dynamic: 

• This respectful, close-knit, and growing family in Woodside, CA, is seeking two experienced, collaborative nannies to join a well-established nanny team to support their growing family. The family is excited to welcome their fourth baby in late April 2026. They describe themselves as busy and fun-loving. Their 8-year-old daughter is in second grade, and their 6-year-old daughter is in first. Their 2-year-old son spends his day either attending music class or a bi-weekly outdoor adventure class and seeking out fun and new activities, whether it’s riding the train or exploring new playgrounds around the Bay Area. He adores his big sisters, and the family would love to foster their sibling bond. The family also works with their nanny team to support his development through storytelling, playtime, and teaching him things as often as possible. These parents allow their children to explore their interests, encourage them to try new things, and reward them for their hard work, no matter the outcome. Both children are learning Mandarin and working hard to continue their language development. The family is excited to welcome someone who can support them in fostering well-rounded, thoughtful, kind, and compassionate children. They also have one sweet little dog, so someone who is pet-friendly and is comfortable with occasional light pet care is important.
• This is a dual-career household where both parents work in an office most days and work from home once a week. This is a team-oriented household supported by a strong, collaborative culture. Nannies work closely together and alongside other household team members to support the family as a whole. While childcare is the primary focus, this is very much a “no silos” environment. Team members step in wherever needed to keep the household running smoothly, whether that’s helping keep shared spaces tidy, supporting children with routines, or assisting with meal preparation for the kids. The family leads an active, health-focused lifestyle and values outdoor play, movement, and age-appropriate independence. Their extended family likes to spend regular time with them and occasionally helps with school pick-ups. The family enjoys traveling around traditional school breaks such as ski week, spring break, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and/or New Year's. They also take occasional weekend trips to their homes in Tahoe and Montana. The family aims to communicate their travel schedule with as much notice as possible, but appreciates flexibility for last-minute trip coverage. They typically bring at least one nanny on their trips. Someone excited to join them in their family adventures will be a great fit! The family is supported by housekeepers, a nanny team (including one Adventure Nanny!), and an executive assistant. A team-oriented candidate who can seamlessly navigate the family’s dynamic and work well alongside the family and other household staff will be beneficial!
