This warm, family-oriented Bellevue, WA-based family is seeking an experienced, collaborative Newborn Care Specialist to provide exceptional overnight care for their newborn.
- Location: Bellevue, WA

- Contract dates: Approximately 12 weeks with the ability to extend to 16 weeks, starting mid-March 2027.
- Schedule: 7 nights per week overnight care, 12-hour shifts, with the option to ramp down to 5-6 nights per week as needed after the first initial 8 weeks.
- Compensation: The family is offering an hourly rate of $50-60/hr dependent on candidate experience and the agreed-upon schedule and contract length. The family is open to candidates seeking a higher compensation package commensurate with experience.
- Live-in/Live-out: Live-out if local, live-in if not local. Accommodations can be provided for non-local candidates.
- Other Notes: Local candidates highly preferred.
Household dynamic:
- This warm, family-centered Bellevue household is joyfully preparing to welcome their second baby in mid-March 2027! Their family also includes a 3-year-old son, and they are looking forward to establishing a similarly gentle, responsive approach to newborn care with their newest addition. With their first child, the parents prioritized following their baby's cues, respecting natural wake windows, and establishing healthy routines without introducing cry-it-out methods during the early months. They hope to bring this same thoughtful, nurturing philosophy to their newborn's care. The family plans to combine direct breastfeeding and pumping, as they did with their firstborn, and would appreciate a knowledgeable professional who can confidently support both feeding approaches.
- This is a welcoming, collaborative household where the parents value experienced childcare professionals' guidance and expertise while staying actively involved in decisions about their children's care. The family has an established support team, including an Adventure Nanny, and appreciates caregivers who work harmoniously with everyone in the home. They are seeking dedicated overnight support beginning as soon as their baby arrives, allowing the parents to rest confidently knowing their little one is in capable, attentive hands. Above all, they are looking for a professional who helps establish healthy patterns and routines while keeping their newborn safe and nurtured.
Ideal candidate:
- This position is ideal for an experienced, certified Newborn Care Specialist who brings a calm, confident, and collaborative approach to newborn care! The family would love to work with a professional who can thoughtfully guide them through establishing healthy sleep and feeding patterns while remaining responsive to their baby's individual needs. Their preferred approach emphasizes gentle, cue-based sleep conditioning, age-appropriate wake windows, and following the baby's natural rhythms rather than imposing an overly rigid schedule. The ideal candidate will be comfortable sharing their expertise, offering thoughtful recommendations, and ultimately respecting the parents' decisions.
- The family values a warm, pleasant, and responsible professional who is friendly, discreet, and naturally proactive. Someone with a genuine "see a need, fill a need" mentality who can anticipate what needs to be done without requiring constant direction will thrive in this role! Exceptional hygiene practices are especially important, including meticulous handwashing, germ awareness, and careful cleaning, sanitizing, and sterilizing of infant feeding supplies. The family also appreciates an awareness of potential toxins and plastics in infant care products. Organization, attention to detail, and reliability are essential, particularly when it comes to maintaining accurate overnight records and recognizing any potential health or developmental concerns. While down periods allow for quiet resting while the baby sleeps, the family prioritizes a highly attentive, observant caregiver who responds promptly to nighttime cues and remains actively tuned into the baby's needs throughout the shift.
- Responsibilities include creating a nurturing and safe environment for the newborn to thrive, as well as other child-related tasks including prepping and sanitizing bottles, baby's laundry, tidying the nursery, supporting breastfeeding and pumping including washing and sanitizing pump parts, keeping organized documentation of feeds, schedules, and the baby's temperament, and generally bringing a supportive, all-hands-on-deck, collaborative attitude to each day.
- While not a requirement for the role, the family would love to work with a candidate who is experienced in supporting both direct breastfeeding and pumping mechanics, including proper milk handling, washing, and sterilizing of pump parts, and is knowledgeable and aligned with low-toxin and natural infant care practices.
Qualifications:
- 3 years of relevant professional experience (as a newborn care specialist, night nanny, doula, or nanny)
- Experience working as a newborn care specialist with at least 5 families
- Knowledge and experience with age-appropriate developmental milestones for infants
- Knowledge of every aspect of newborn care, including professional and working knowledge of feeding, bathing, and dressing infants, and preparing, cleaning, and sanitizing bottles
- Experience and knowledge surrounding sleep conditioning, establishing routines, feeding routines, and developmental milestones
- Newborn care specialist training, preferably through Newborn Care Solutions or another CACHE-accredited program
- Able to work collaboratively with the family on a care plan
- Exemplary hygiene practices, including handwashing, germ awareness, and careful sterilization procedures.
- Meticulous about shift logging (feeding amounts, sleep windows, temperament) and trained to identify early medical red flags/digestive issues to bring to parents' attention immediately.
- Partners, family members, and/or pets cannot be housed in any temporary or long-term accommodations provided by the family
This position is open to all Adventure Nannies candidates who are legally able to work in the US. Out of respect for the privacy of the families we work with, we cannot provide any additional information about this position other than what has already been provided in the job description.

- This high-energy, family-oriented household in New York City, NY, is seeking two rotational nannies/family assistants to join their household team and support their children! Their two young school-aged children are enrolled full-time in school and have a variety of after-school activities that keep their days lively. Every other week, their oldest son also visits the home as part of a blended-family schedule. Days are anchored by morning care, after-school pickup, and a through-bedtime routine, with a little after-school overlap between the two nannies because of the children's separate activities. The family shares their home with a long-tenured team and values a positive, calm, and confident approach to childcare and wants their rotational nanny/family assistants to take genuine ownership of the children’s routines, facilitate learning, maintain consistent boundaries, and create a safe, fun, and engaging environment for the children.
- This is a semi-formal, highly family-oriented household with multiple residences and an established household team. This position formally reports to the Family Office, with a dotted line directly to the Principals. The family travels extensively throughout the year, including boat-based travel. This is a two-nanny/family assistant rotation that will balance hands-on childcare with family-assistant support while the children are at school, helping keep day-to-day logistics running smoothly. The household is fully staffed with a collaborative team, and the family is building a comprehensive nanny manual, so protocols, documentation, and consistency are important. Privacy is paramount, and the family hopes to find someone who thrives on a busy household and becomes a lasting, trusted part of their team.
Ideal candidate:
- This position is ideal for an educated, intuitive, emotionally intelligent, and adaptable rotational nanny/family assistant team who brings positive, calm energy to a dynamic household. The family is seeking confident and resilient self-starters who can anticipate needs, problem-solve independently, and remain composed and adaptable as schedules and priorities evolve. A strong understanding of early childhood and grade-school development will be key to meeting each child where they are, facilitating learning through everyday experiences, supporting schoolwork and projects, and establishing clear and consistent boundaries. The right candidates will be equally comfortable taking ownership of the children’s day-to-day needs and working collaboratively as part of an established household team.
- The family is looking for someone who genuinely embraces the balance of childcare and family-assistant responsibilities, as well as their active, travel-forward lifestyle. When the children are home, the focus will be on providing attentive, developmentally appropriate care and thoughtfully managing their routines, activities, education, and schedules. During school hours and quieter periods, the team will seamlessly shift toward child- and family-related organizational, administrative, household, and project support. Frequent travel is an integral part of the role, and the ideal candidate will be excited to travel domestically and internationally, move comfortably between the family’s residences, and confidently support the children during extended trips and time aboard boats. Adaptability, initiative, strong communication, and a willingness to jump in wherever needed will be 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 of children's areas, occasional errands, before and after school routines, camp sign-ups, coordinating activities, acting as the direct liaison with teachers and coaches regarding schedules and absences, and traveling with the family throughout the year. Family assisting duties include light cleaning and organizing of the children’s rooms and bathroom, light housekeeping, grocery shopping, coordinating vendors, managing the family calendar, and collaborating with the rotating nanny and household team.
- While not a requirement for the role, the family would love to work with a candidate who has experience traveling with families and children, working in a team or a fully-staffed home, and contributing to household manuals or care documentation. A Bachelor’s degree in education or child development is a plus!

Multi-Residence | Calm ROTA Nanny/Family Assistant Wanted For Warm FamilyApply Now

- Location: West Harrison, NY, TriBeCa, and Jackson Hole, WY
- Ages of children: 4-year-old, 2-year-old twins, and a 2-month-old
- Start date: As soon as they find the right fit!

- Live-in/Live-out: Live-in while on rotation, live-out while off rotation.
- Other Notes: The family is open to local and relocation candidates, or fly-in/fly-out candidates.
Household dynamic:
- This warm, adventurous, educationally-minded family is seeking a rotational nanny/family assistant to join their household team! Their eldest is a 4-year-old boy who loves make-believe, dinosaurs, and vehicles, and attends preschool a few mornings a week along with a language class. Their 2-year-old twin girls are full of personality — one loves books and music, while the other loves dressing up and helping care for her baby brother. The youngest, a 2-month-old boy, is a calm and easygoing presence. With the twins approaching preschool and camps on the horizon, the family is especially excited to welcome a nanny/family assistant who can thoughtfully support the children's early education, nurture their curiosity, and help build a strong foundation for lifelong learning. Care is typically structured around the twin girls as a unit, or the eldest and youngest as a unit, with the expectation that the candidate can confidently step in to care for all four children when needed.
- This is a lively, multilingual household where Mandarin is spoken at home, and Spanish has been introduced by the nanny team; the family deeply values immersion-based language learning. Mom is a stay-at-home parent who is very involved in the children's day-to-day, while Dad works in the city during the week. The household is intentionally collaborative rather than fully staffed, with a chef visiting twice weekly for meals and meal preparation and a housekeeping team coming two to three times per week. Nannies are expected to contribute to light household upkeep, including keeping the kitchen tidy, emptying the trash, and reorganizing the refrigerator as needed. When in Jackson Hole, the family relies on meal preparation services rather than a regular chef, and the parents and nannies share in preparing family meals. The nanny/family assistant will join an established team of rotational caregivers, making flexibility, communication, and a genuine team-oriented spirit essential. This high-travel family splits time between Westchester, Manhattan, and Jackson Hole, embraces ski season out west from December through March, and enjoys approximately 4–8 weeks of domestic and international travel annually to destinations including Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean, along with East Coast getaways to Martha's Vineyard, Maine, and North Carolina. As the children transition into school, the family's travel rhythms may evolve, and they would love to welcome someone who can adapt alongside them and grow with the household for years to come.
Ideal candidate:
- This position is ideal for a warm, calm, adventurous, and intellectually curious rotational nanny/family assistant who brings a genuine passion for early childhood education and the practical skills to support the children's learning and development. The family is especially drawn to candidates with preschool teaching experience or a strong educational background, though they value demonstrated ability over formal credentials. They hope to find someone who understands how young children learn, can thoughtfully plan and implement age-appropriate educational activities, and knows how to make learning engaging, playful, and naturally integrated into everyday life. The right candidate will be confident in creating meaningful learning opportunities at home and while traveling. The ideal nanny/family assistant is driven, grounded, adaptable, perceptive, and open-minded, with the energy to engage four young children and the calm, safety-conscious judgment to navigate a dynamic household.
- Because this household includes an established team of rotational nannies and part-time household support, the family is looking for someone who is a true team player — collaborative, resourceful, quick on their feet, and able to anticipate needs and adapt as the day unfolds without ego or rigidity. The ideal candidate will be comfortable taking initiative while respecting established routines, communicating thoughtfully with parents and fellow caregivers, and moving seamlessly between caring for different combinations of children. They will be discreet, organized, tech-savvy, and confident balancing hands-on childcare with the practical needs of a busy household. A candidate who genuinely enjoys travel, embraces the rhythms of a multi-residence lifestyle, and loves outdoor adventures and hitting the slopes alongside the family will feel right at home here!
- Responsibilities include creating an environment for the children to grow and thrive, providing attentive, hands-on care for children across different developmental stages, including diaper changes, bottle preparation and feeding, bathing, supporting daily routines, and planning and facilitating age-appropriate activities that encourage learning, creativity, and developmental growth; child-related household tasks include, but are not limited to, meal prep, tidying, organizing children's areas, occasional errands, before and after school routines, and traveling with the family throughout the year. Cooking simple meals for the children is a core part of the role. Family assisting duties include running errands, light meal planning and preparation, light tidying such as emptying the trash, reorganizing the fridge, and keeping the kitchen neat, grocery shopping, travel planning, ordering children's clothing, and supporting the family across their multi-home rotations and packing for travel.
- While not a requirement for the role, the family would love to work with a candidate who speaks Mandarin, Spanish, or another foreign language, has preschool teaching experience or a strong educational background to support early learning, and is comfortable preparing meals for the entire family!
Qualifications:
- 3 years of professional childcare experience
- Knowledge and experience with age-appropriate developmental milestones for infants, toddlers, preschool, and early elementary age children
- Ability to take on family assisting duties
- Travel experience and ability to travel with family throughout the year
- Able to swim and care for children in water

Household dynamic:
- This warm, nature-loving Connecticut family is seeking a nanny/family assistant to support their little one, a sweet 12-month-old daughter who is at a joyful stage full of discovery and early milestones. The family practices gentle attachment parenting — rocking to sleep and holding her when she wants to be held — and keeps a no-screen-time environment. They hope to foster her curiosity through play and early learning, and their days are anchored by nurturing, attentive routines. The household also includes a beloved dog, and the nanny/family assistant would be welcome to help with light pet care.
- Both parents work remotely from home offices and are deeply hands-on. Mom is calm, detail-oriented, nurturing, and very hands-on as she transitions back into work, so the nanny/family assistant can expect a collaborative, tag-team dynamic rather than a rigid division between childcare and household responsibilities. Childcare will always remain the priority. The home sits on a farm, and the family loves the outdoors, healthy living, and a careful, health-conscious food routine including thoughtful food-washing practices. This is a social but relaxed, creative household where people often come and go, so discretion and social ease matter. The family also travels often between their homes in Los Angeles and Japan.

This person will delight in supporting their daughter's development, encouraging her curiosity through play, conversation, books, nature, and age-appropriate learning while fully embracing the family's no-screen-time philosophy.
- A wonderful fit will also be collaborative, adaptable, and confident working alongside hands-on parents. The family would love someone who can seamlessly move between caring for their daughter and supporting the household as needs arise, without requiring a rigid daily division of responsibilities. Given the social and creative nature of the home, this person should be discreet, professional, personable, and comfortable interacting with visitors while intuitively knowing when to engage and when to give the family space. A love of the outdoors and farm life, an appreciation for healthy eating, and a genuine enthusiasm for traveling with the family would also make this an especially wonderful fit for a candidate seeking a meaningful, long-term placement.
- 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, before and after school routines, coordinating activities, and traveling with the family throughout the year. Family assisting duties include running errands, light meal planning and preparation, grocery shopping, helping set up events, and supporting the household in a collaborative, tag-team rhythm, with light pet care such as walking or washing the family dog when comfortable, including dog care during family travel.
- While not a requirement for the role, the family would love to work with a candidate who speaks Japanese, has experience traveling with families and children, a teaching or early-childhood education background to foster the child's curiosity, strong cooking skills to occasionally prepare family dinners, and comfort and skill with health-conscious food routines and food-washing practices.
Qualifications:
- 3 years of professional childcare experience
- Knowledge and experience with age-appropriate developmental milestones for infants and toddlers
- Aligned with gentle attachment parenting
- Comfortable working in a no-screen-time environment with no phone or screen use around children

Household dynamic:
- This warm, easy-going family is seeking an attentive and collaborative rotational nanny to join their childcare team! Their 5-year-old is in kindergarten and participates in aftercare, so the nanny’s primary focus throughout much of the day will be their 1-year-old. The family looks forward to building a relationship based on mutual trust and collaboration and is excited to meet someone who can create a nurturing environment filled with fun, positive interactions to foster their children’s growth and development.
- This is a dual-career home where both parents have dynamic schedules and are passionate about their careers. The family typically travels to Europe twice each year, often visiting destinations such as Italy and Greece, and may take shorter domestic trips throughout the year. The rotational nanny should be comfortable providing seamless care while traveling and confidently adapting to changing schedules and environments. The household is also supported by a Chief of Staff and another Adventure rotational nanny. This is an easy-going but fast-moving household, and the family values a nanny who can jump right in, maintain discretion and professionalism, and help keep daily life calm and organized.
Ideal candidate:
- This position is ideal for an experienced, professional rotational nanny who genuinely loves caring for children and brings warmth, high integrity, discretion, stamina, and a strong work ethic to their role.

- Responsibilities center primarily on the children (with a focus on the 1-year-old), creating an environment where both kids can grow and thrive. Because the household employs cleaners and a personal assistant, non-childcare duties are limited to occasional child-related tasks—including meal prep, tidying, and organizing children’s areas—along with managing routines, coordinating activities, and traveling with the family. A candidate with a willingness to jump in on family-assisting responsibilities when time allows will be greatly appreciated.
- While not a requirement, the family would love to work with a candidate who has demonstrated longevity in a previous nanny role - ideally 5+ years with one family. Prior ROTA experience, ideally sustained over multiple years and local to the Bay Area are also pluses!

Their sweet 2-year-old son is an independent little thinker with a curious, engaged spirit who may begin attending preschool for half days in the coming months. His parents take a gentle, practical approach to caregiving and encourage plenty of outdoor time, hands-on play, exploration, and age-appropriate independence. Extended family is an important part of the household's rhythm, with his grandparents also actively involved in his life.

The household also includes a beloved 80-pound dog, and the nanny/family assistant will be required to support light pet care, including feeding, refreshing water, potty breaks, and basic playtime.

Throughout the day, parents may be in and out of the home. They maintain a fully staffed home with a collaborative team, so a candidate who thrives within a team environment is key.

While the family holds high standards when it comes to childcare, healthy eating, and overall well-being, they are very casual people at heart and hope to find someone proactive who feels like an easygoing, comfortable part of the family while bringing those same high standards to their work.
- Flexibility and a collaborative spirit will be especially important in this role. Some days will be centered primarily around hands-on childcare, while others may become more household- or assistant-focused depending on preschool, time with grandparents, the parents' schedules, and the family's evolving needs. The ideal candidate will be a self-starter who notices what needs to be done, is curious and excited to learn new things, genuinely loves organizing, and can pivot comfortably between responsibilities. They will also be comfortable working within a fully staffed home and traveling alongside the family for extended periods throughout the year. Someone who shares the household's enthusiasm for healthy eating and wellness will also be a wonderful fit!
- 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, before and after school routines, coordinating activities, and traveling with the family throughout the year.

San Francisco, CA | Proactive Nanny/Family Assistant Wanted For Collaborative FamilyApply Now
This family-oriented Bay Area family is seeking a proactive, easy-going, travel-ready nanny/family assistant to support their two spirited children.
- Location: Pacific Heights, San Francisco, CA
- Ages of children: 3 and 2 years old
- Start date: October-November 2026
- Schedule: The standard schedule generally falls Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with 1 to 2 days per week (typically Tuesdays or Thursdays) shifting to a later window (e.g., 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.) to accommodate date nights or evening coverage. The role also includes occasional weekend coverage (up to one mutually agreed-upon weekend per month). Schedule changes are always managed collaboratively and shared well in advance to ensure predictability for everyone.
- Compensation: The family is offering $45–$50/hour based on the 45.5 hour/week schedule, which equates to an annualized base compensation of $113k–$125k/year dependent on experience and the agreed-upon schedule.
- Benefits: The family is open to providing a monthly healthcare stipend, paid time off, paid sick days, anticipated yearly bonuses, and relocation assistance, and an off-site apartment, if needed.
- Live-in/Live-out: Live-out.
- Other Notes: As an added benefit, the family is offering the use of a private one-bedroom apartment in a desirable San Francisco location. The apartment features a kitchenette, dedicated parking, convenient access to a bus line, an in-building gym and laundry, and secure entry with both a doorman and keycard access, providing a comfortable, convenient home base in the city.
Household dynamic:
- This family-oriented, adventurous Bay Area family of four has two imaginative, playful, and energetic children — a 3-year-old boy and 2-year-old girl — who make wonderful adventure buddies and also love nothing more than settling in with a good book. Both children attend preschool for a couple of half-days each week and otherwise enjoy activities, museum outings around San Francisco, outdoor adventures, and independent play at home. With a former teacher as a parent, the household places a meaningful emphasis on development, learning through everyday experiences, and giving the children opportunities to build independence. The family also has a beloved large dog, and the nanny/family assistant should be comfortable pitching in with light pet care, such as occasional walks and refilling the water bowl.
- One parent is a stay-at-home parent, while the other works professionally and may work from a home office or be in and out throughout the day. The family spends a great deal of quality time together, so the nanny/family assistant will need to be equally comfortable collaborating alongside the parents and confidently taking the lead with the children independently. This is a grounded, hands-on home where the parents and nanny/FA operate as a close-knit, three-person team to keep daily life running smoothly. The parents place a high priority on raising helpful, well-rounded children and lead by example - modeling that everyone in the household contributes. While weekly support is brought in for deep cleaning, and they employ a remote assistant, the daily flow relies on a collaborative, 'all-hands-on-deck' mindset. They are looking for a low-ego, down-to-earth partner who embraces this philosophy and will naturally model these same values for the kids. The family’s former long-term nannies are still an important part of their lives - both have moved away, but they stay in touch with them regularly. Adventure and shared experiences are a major part of family life, and they anticipate around 8-10 weeks of travel each year, primarily domestic with some international travel, often to family homes that are already familiar to the children. The family embraces a fun, down-to-earth travel style focused on creating lasting memories together, and the candidate is often asked to join them on these trips. As the children grow and spend more time in school and activities, the candidate should be equally comfortable supporting the household and caring for the children.
Ideal candidate:
- This position is ideal for a proactive, easy-going, engaging, self-confident nanny/family assistant who has a genuine passion for their work and brings both calm and playfulness to their childcare approach. The family hopes to find someone adaptable, resourceful, curious, and team-minded who can anticipate the family’s needs and confidently step in to provide support. They are looking for an emotionally attuned nanny/family assistant who is engaged in play, skilled at helping toddlers redirect and regulate big feelings, and grounded in a strong understanding of early childhood development. Someone polite and interactive who models thoughtful interactions for the children and gives them the space to learn and practice on their own will be a wonderful addition to this home!
- Travel and flexibility are central to this family’s lifestyle. The ideal candidate will be genuinely excited to travel with the family, comfortable navigating a multi-home environment, and can keep up with the family’s adventurous, energetic lifestyle. With a busy, fully-staffed home with parents frequently present, the family hopes for a collaborative communicator who can move seamlessly between working alongside a parent and household staff and independently taking ownership of their responsibilities. The family is hoping to find someone who is eager to support their loving home and wants to build a lasting relationship over the next two to three years.
- Duties will naturally flex day-to-day based on the family's schedule, ranging from childcare-focused days (up to 90%) to a balanced 50/50 split between childcare and family assisting tasks. 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, occasional errands, before and after school routines, coordinating activities, light pet care such as occasional dog walks and refilling the water bowl, packing for travel and relocations, and traveling with the family throughout the year. Family assisting duties include running errands, light meal planning and preparation including occasional family dinners, grocery shopping, coordinating vendors, and managing the family calendar.
- While not a requirement for the role, the family would love to work with a candidate who speaks a second language and has a Bachelor's or Associate's degree in a child or education-related field.
Qualifications:
- 3 years of professional childcare experience
- Knowledge and experience with age-appropriate developmental milestones for toddlers
- Valid driver's license and passport
- Willingness to perform family assistant tasks
- Ability to travel with the family throughout the year
- Able to swim and care for children in water
- Pet-friendly and willing to support light pet care
- Experience working in a team or a fully-staffed home
- Partners, family members, and/or pets cannot be housed in any temporary or long-term accommodations provided by the family
- A Note on Health & Safety Requirements: To protect their household, the hiring family requires candidates to provide proof of all standard vaccinations (MMR, Tdap, Flu)] before scheduling an in-person trial or finalizing a job offer (subject to applicable laws and required accommodations). Because this is a private family requirement, any relevant records will be requested and reviewed by the family directly.

Household dynamic:
- This warm, dynamic Tampa-based family is seeking an experienced Spanish-speaking nanny with a strong educational and developmental background to join their household team and provide loving, structured, and developmentally thoughtful care for their three children, ages 11, 9, and 5. They are looking for an exceptional career nanny who brings a nurturing presence alongside the structure, academic focus, developmental awareness, and behavioral insight of a governess. The children are bright, spirited, and active, with busy schedules that include academics, tutoring, music, art, baking, swimming, Kumon, Girl Scouts, and behavioral support services. They thrive with consistency, individualized attention, and a caregiver who can calmly navigate sibling dynamics, transitions, emotional regulation, and occasional challenging behaviors while maintaining loving and appropriate boundaries. While the nanny will support all three children and work collaboratively with a co-nanny, this role will serve as the primary nanny point person for their youngest child with specialized ownership of her behavioral, therapeutic, and educational continuity. The family is proudly bilingual and places tremendous importance on maintaining the children's Spanish fluency and connection to the language. The nanny will provide daily language immersion through fluent communication and instruction, communicating with the children exclusively in Spanish throughout the day, including when the children respond in English.

The family deeply values loyalty, longevity, quality, discretion, and collaboration and is excited to welcome a career nanny who brings expertise to their work and hopes to become a trusted, long-term member of their household team.
Ideal candidate:
- This position is ideal for a warm, adaptable, resourceful, and highly structured Spanish-speaking career nanny who genuinely enjoys helping children grow into capable and independent young people. The ideal candidate combines hands-on care with academic, developmental, and organizational responsibilities. A candidate with a strong educational foundation, along with meaningful professional experience supporting neurodivergent children and/or children with behavioral, developmental, or learning differences, will be a wonderful fit for the role. The family values a traditional parenting approach centered on clear expectations, consistency, accountability, respectful communication, and firm but loving boundaries and is looking for a nanny who can confidently reinforce these expectations while remaining patient, emotionally attuned, and calm. The ideal candidate has meaningful experience supporting children with behavioral and developmental needs and is confident navigating defiance, sibling conflict, emotional regulation, transitions, and other challenging behaviors while reinforcing family- and provider-approved behavioral strategies, including ABA-supported routines. Someone who can model respectful communication and help the children develop age-appropriate independence will be a wonderful addition to the team. Fostering independence is also a priority of the family. The right nanny will guide the children in taking age-appropriate ownership of their routines, belongings, spaces, and responsibilities rather than doing everything for them.
- Full Spanish and English fluency is essential to this role. The ideal candidate understands that Spanish immersion is an important family priority and will enthusiastically communicate with the children exclusively in Spanish throughout the day, even when children respond in English. The ideal candidate will also be comfortable working alongside another experienced career nanny. This is a collaborative environment rather than an independent nanny position, and success requires strong communication, flexibility, mutual respect, and the ability to share responsibilities while maintaining consistent expectations for the children. The family values someone who is emotionally mature, discreet, flexible, highly organized, and comfortable receiving direction while also bringing initiative and professional expertise to their area of responsibility. Strong self-initiative, planning skills, attention to detail, and consistent follow-through are important to success in this role.
- Responsibilities include providing attentive, developmentally appropriate care while supporting the children's routines, academics, activities, and overall well-being. The nanny will oversee school routines, transportation, homework and educational enrichment, as well as child-related school communication, tutoring and ABA coordination, appointments, calendars, and logistics. As the primary nanny point person for the youngest child, they will take particular ownership of her behavioral, developmental, therapeutic, and educational continuity while reinforcing family- and provider-approved strategies. Working collaboratively with the co-nanny and household team, the nanny will maintain consistency across the children's care, encourage age-appropriate independence, assist with child-related organization and meal preparation, and travel with the family throughout the year.
- While not a requirement for the role, the family would love to work with a candidate with domestic and international family travel experience. A Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) certification, special education background, or additional training related to neurodivergence, behavioral support, or child development, and a career nanny with UHNW or fully staffed private household experience are strongly preferred.
Qualifications:
- Minimum of 3 years of professional childcare experience
- Strong understanding of child development and age-appropriate academic, behavioral, social, and emotional support
- Professional experience working with neurodivergent children and/or children with behavioral, developmental, or learning differences
- Knowledgeable and confident in reinforcing family-and-provider-approved behavioral strategies, including ABA-supported routines when applicable
- Bachelor's degree in education, child development, special education, psychology, or a closely related field

Occasional evenings, overnights, and travel are part of the role.

- Live-in/Live-out: Live-out
Household dynamic:
- This warm, hands-on family has two young boys, aged 3.5 years and 14 months. Their older son is a curious, talkative, active preschooler who loves books, reading, numbers, gymnastics, swimming, tennis, and getting out and about. He attends preschool from approximately 8:30 a.m.–2:30 p.m. Their younger son is a happy, active toddler who is home during the day and currently soaking up new words, skills, and experiences. Both boys thrive with full, engaging days that balance school, classes, playdates, playgrounds, walks, outings, rest, and plenty of age-appropriate play. The family hopes to welcome another child in the future and is looking for a nanny/family assistant who is genuinely excited about building a long-term relationship with a growing family.
- Both parents have demanding careers, with one parent traveling frequently for work and the other working from home, so their weekdays can involve many moving pieces. They are involved parents who value a collaborative, team-oriented relationship with their nanny/family assistant while also trusting them to independently manage the children's day. A part-time nanny provides additional support in the afternoons and early evenings, as well as a weekly housekeeper, so willingness to collaborate with other household staff is essential.

They will also value flexibility for occasional evenings, overnights, and longer workdays.
Ideal candidate:
- This position is ideal for a warm, intelligent, reliable nanny/family assistant who is deeply interested in children and their development. This family is looking for someone who sees themselves as an active participant in the boys' growth through developmentally-minded and engaging activities. For their preschooler, this means finding playful ways to encourage early literacy and math skills through books, games, conversation, and thoughtfully chosen activities. For their toddler, it means talking and reading throughout the day, supporting language development, encouraging emerging skills, and naturally incorporating developmental learning into everyday play and outings. The family values a nanny/family assistant who can make learning fun and age-appropriate while also supporting independence, routines, good manners, boundaries, and positive behavior. The family values a nanny/family assistant who is fully present and engaged with the children throughout the day and maintains a phone-free environment when working.

Their oldest son is with the family every other week and attends school during the week. Their newest addition was born in August, and a newborn care specialist is currently supporting the baby and will remain with the family through mid-January, providing continuity during his first several months. The children's days are anchored by predictable routines and established household SOPs, while still leaving plenty of room for play, laughter, exploration, and developmentally appropriate play-based learning. The family values caregivers who can tune into each child's individual stage and personality while maintaining a peaceful, consistent rhythm throughout the day.
- This is a dual-career, fully staffed household. Mom currently works at home while Dad is regularly in and out of the home. The existing team includes a housekeeper, estate manager, Chief of Staff, and additional nannies, and everyone works collaboratively within clearly established roles and household systems. The home is semi-formal, with professionalism expressed through discretion, thoughtful communication, respect for boundaries, and an ability to read the room rather than through uniforms or excessive formality. It is also a quiet and peaceful home, so the family appreciates a caregiver who can be playful, silly, and joyful with the children while maintaining a calm, low-key presence throughout the rest of the household. The family is building two teams of two rotational nannies each who can support one another with coverage and breaks.

The right person will follow the children's cues, understand developmental milestones, and create an engaging environment in which each child can grow and thrive.
- The right candidate will be perceptive, discreet, resourceful, and exceptionally professional. The family is looking for someone who intuitively reads the room, respects boundaries with the principals, communicates thoughtfully, and is comfortable working independently without bringing an overly loud or dominant presence into the home. At the same time, they should be a natural collaborator who enjoys being part of an established household team, follows shared SOPs, coordinates seamlessly with fellow nannies and household staff, and proactively supports their nanny teammate with breaks and coverage. Previous international travel experience with families is essential, along with the adaptability, organization, and confidence to maintain the children’s routines and provide exceptional care while on the road. Someone who genuinely enjoys the rotational set-up and is seeking a long-term position with a professional, fully staffed household will thrive in this role.
- Responsibilities include creating an environment for the children to grow and thrive; child-related household tasks, including but not limited to meal prep for the children, tidying, organizing children's areas, children’s laundry, occasional errands, before and after school routines including school drop-off and pick-up, coordinating activities, holding the monitor overnight while on duty, and traveling with the family throughout the year. The candidate will occasionally assist with light family tasks such as picking up dry cleaning, managing the dishwasher, and taking out the trash.

- 10 years of professional childcare experience
- Knowledge and experience with age-appropriate developmental milestones for infants and toddlers

The family is looking for a nanny first, someone who thrives in the day-to-day of caring for multiple little ones, understands age-appropriate development across infants through grade-school ages, and shows up ready to be the person who fills the gap and keeps things running smoothly. Genuine enjoyment of children and the energy to keep pace with five young kids is essential. The perfect candidate is warm and engaged, while maintaining clear, consistent boundaries, and equally comfortable leading the childcare team and stepping directly into care wherever needed.
- As the Lead Nanny, this person should also be a collaborative leader who knows how to join an established team thoughtfully. The family is also seeking a discreet, low-drama, and diplomatic leader who leads through competence. The right candidate listens to the team, observes the household, understands what’s working, and builds trust before introducing change. A central part of this role, the Lead Nanny will understand the parents’ priorities and communicate them clearly and appropriately to the team, while also determining what can be resolved independently. Excellent judgment around what to handle, what to communicate, and what truly needs to be escalated to the parents will be essential. The family will appreciate someone direct and confident offering thoughtful input or professional pushback when needed, while remaining discreet, flexible, diplomatic, and adaptable.
- 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, before and after school routines, coordinating activities, and traveling with the family throughout the year. Family assisting duties include running errands, coordinating vendors and household staff, and managing the family calendar. This role is roughly 40% management and 60% hands-on care, so the Lead Nanny will also pinch in when staff is out, build SOPs, checklists, and a nanny handbook, help onboard new childcare hires, and serve as the point of contact between the parents and the care team.
- While not a requirement for the role, the family would love to work with a candidate who is Mandarin-speaking, has Lead Nanny or management experience, has knowledge of an authoritative parenting approach, and has prior team leadership, onboarding, or SOP-building experience and career experience outside of nannying with a more formal business structure.
Qualifications:
- 3 years of professional childcare experience
- Knowledge and experience with age-appropriate developmental milestones for infants, toddlers, and preschool through grade school children
- Experience working in a team or a fully staffed environment
- Family assisting experience
- Travel experience
- Valid driver's license
- Valid passport
- Able to swim and care for children in the water
- Dog-friendly
- Ability to prioritize tasks, communicate proactively, and work both independently and as part of a team
- High energy and stamina for long, hands-on days with five young children
- Local or willing to relocate within a commutable distance of Chicago, IL
- Partners, family members, and/or pets cannot be housed in any temporary or long-term accommodations provided by the family
This position is open to all Adventure Nannies candidates who are legally able to work in the US.

This adventurous, kindhearted, blended family in Durango, CO is seeking a grounded and perceptive nanny to provide thoughtful, exceptional care for their 11-year-old twin boys.
- Location: Durango, CO
- Ages of children: 11-year-old twin boys. The family also has an almost 15-year-old daughter at home who will not require care from the nanny. In addition to the 15-year-old, there is a 19-year-old heading off to college and a 22-year-old who attends Fort Lewis, the college in town and is a big part of the family and a huge help.
- Start date: As soon as they find the right fit!
- Schedule: Dynamic schedule, guaranteeing 30 hours per week, with full schedules issued one month in advance to allow for predictability and work-life balance. On standard weeks, coverage includes after-school hours (usually 2 days per week) and 2-3 weekend days per month. When the parents travel (approx. 3-8 nights per month / 82 overnights per year), you’ll provide overnight coverage across three distinct duty levels: full childcare and dog care (estimated 38 nights), childcare only (estimated 24 nights), or low-load housesitting/property care (estimated 21 nights).
- Compensation: The family is offering $40/hour with a guaranteed 30-hour weekly floor, providing a reliable base income of $1,200/week ($62,400/year guaranteed). With overnight pay and travel-week overtime included, total gross earnings reach an annualized range of $75,000-$83,200/year.
- Benefits: The family is open to providing paid time off, paid holidays, a health insurance stipend, and relocation assistance for the right candidate.
- Live-in/Live-out: Live-out
Household dynamic:
- This adventurous, health-oriented, and loving Durango-based family is seeking a nanny to support their incredible 11-year-old twin boys! The nanny will be primarily responsible for nurturing and supporting them. Both children are opposites in personality, yet complement each other beautifully. One twin is highly energetic, deeply social, and passionate about everything Durango has to offer. He's a serious mountain biker, skier, and whitewater kayaker who loves being out in the world and thrives with kind, consistent encouragement. His twin brother is cerebral, artistic, and wonderfully curious — a kid who asks big questions, loves writing stories, and has a deep passion for reptiles (the family has two very sweet ball pythons!). He's an adventurer too, a skilled skier and kayaker, but equally loves coming home to quiet creative time. Both boys are chess enthusiasts and love any game that involves strategy. They are heading into sixth grade, with after-school activities that shift by season, including a mountain biking team, ski team, basketball, music, and therapy. The family also shares their home with two dogs, three cats, two ball pythons, and a guinea pig. The nanny will provide full pet and plant care when the parents travel.
- Both parents are actively involved in managing the household and caring for the family's properties in Durango, Silverton, and at Purgatory Mountain. Their home is lively, spacious, clean, and easygoing. Committed to supporting their children’s holistic development, the family encourages them to build strong friendships and adores after-school playdates either at home or at their children’s friends' homes. The nanny will become part of a collaborative household team that includes a housekeeper, with full support from Mom to maintain the candidate's schedule. The family has built a warm, grounded home culture rooted in patience, kindness, clear expectations, and compassionate natural consequences. Screen time is intentionally limited, and routines are designed to help the boys grow into responsible, contributing, honest, thoughtful, caring human beings. Both parents frequently travel, typically 5-8 nights per month, and are very organized and detail-oriented about the schedule. The nanny will stay with the boys and care for the animals, plants, and home when the parents travel. The family hopes to find someone who can truly invest in who the boys are becoming and can grow with them for the long term as they enter the sometimes tricky pre-teen and teen world.
Ideal candidate:
- This position is ideal for an extroverted, gentle, confident, and emotionally grounded nanny who brings both warmth and intentionality to their work with growing middle-school children. The ideal candidate should be perceptive, resourceful, and engaging - someone who genuinely delights in getting to know kids as individuals, understands that two children can be completely different people, and has the patience and versatility to meet each child exactly where he is. The nanny will be someone who leads with kindness, holds space for big feelings without raising their voice, and naturally reinforces routines and expectations in a firm yet gentle manner. Someone comfortable with the outdoors and excited to engage children in outdoor activities and adventure sports such as skiing, mountain biking, kayaking, and beyond will be a natural fit for the role. The candidate must also be an ally to the LGBTQ community and support the boys when they want to get civically engaged.
- The perfect candidate is someone adaptable, easygoing, and composed who transitions smoothly from a high-energy afternoon to a quiet evening at home. A thoughtful nanny who can assist the children in building meaningful friendships, coordinate with other parents to facilitate these connections, and truly appreciate living in a bustling, animal-filled home will be a wonderful fit. The family will value someone who will bring a calm, organized presence to their home. A candidate who is eager to embrace mountain town life and view this position as a meaningful, long-term investment in two incredible children will truly excel in this role. Additionally, the candidate should not be terrified of reptiles and should be interested in learning about them.
- Responsibilities include creating an environment for the children to grow and thrive, child-related household tasks including but not limited to meal prep, tidying, encouraging and helping the boys organize their areas, occasional errands, managing before and after school routines, coordinating activities, supporting after-school pickups two to three days per week, and accompanying the boys at home on holidays and teacher workdays, staying with the boys and caring for the animals and home during parent travel (typically five to eight nights per month). The role also includes caring for the family's plants while they are traveling.
- While not a requirement for the role, the family would love to work with a candidate who has experience supporting children with ADHD and is an animal lover, especially reptiles. Both children lead an active, adventurous lifestyle and embrace a love of creativity, so someone with experience or a love of outdoor sports, including skiing, whitewater rafting, and mountain biking, as well as the artistic ability to support a child's writing and creativity, would be a wonderful addition!
Qualifications:
- 3 years of professional childcare experience
- Knowledge and experience with older elementary-aged children
- Valid driver's license
- Animal lover and willing to provide pet and plant care when the parents travel
- Comfortable with and enthusiastic about outdoor sports

Hawaii + Charlotte, NC | Bilingual Nanny/Family Assistant Wanted For Multi-Residence FamilyJoin The Waitlist
This empathetic, highly-engaged, and curious family is seeking a confident, nurturing, and collaborative Japanese, Mandarin, and/or Spanish-speaking nanny/family assistant to care for and support their newborn’s development while fostering a warm and enriching environment.
- Location: Charlotte, North Carolina and Big Island of Hawaii
- Ages of children: Newborn
- Start date: Early August or September 2026
- Schedule: Full-time, guaranteeing 40 hours per week, with the general schedule falling on Monday through Friday, 8 hours per day (generally 9:00am to 5:00pm), with flexibility for adjustments based on the child's schedule and developmental progress.
- Compensation: The family is offering $45-$55/hour based on the 40-hour/week schedule, which equates to an annualized base compensation in the $93,600-$114,400/year range. The family may be open to a higher compensation package commensurate with experience.
- Benefits: The family is open to providing paid time off, paid holidays, a health insurance reimbursement/ stipend, a vehicle for professional use, and relocation assistance for the right candidate.
- Live-in/Live-out: Live-in or live-out. A housing separate from the parents’ unit, with a private bedroom (often a separate condo/unit), can be provided.
Household dynamic:
- These high-energy, systems-minded, and empathetic parents recently welcomed their first child and are seeking a nanny/family assistant to provide exceptional care while creating a fully immersive Japanese, Mandarin and/or Spanish language environment from day one. Childcare and language immersion are the central focus of the role. The candidate will speak exclusively in the target language with the child throughout the day, with a focus on providing live, responsive, child-directed speech. As the child grows, the nanny/family assistant will also support developmental milestones, arrange for the child to interact with other speakers of the target language, foster intellectual curiosity, and encourage child-led exploration through responsive caregiving, reading, play, and age-appropriate outings and activities. While parents will initially be present during childcare and may later occasionally check in briefly, the goal is for childcare during work hours to eventually take place away from parents to protect immersion and support caregiver autonomy. Coordination and check-ins with parents will occur in English and out of the child’s earshot. Both parents are eager to learn conversational basics in the target language alongside their child to support immersion.
- These entrepreneurial first-time parents are analytical, creative, empathetic, and genuinely engaged. They describe their household as high-energy, very engaged, and thoughtful, with a planning style that embraces both intentionality and adaptability as new information emerges. The family sees themselves as a guardrails-and-autonomy household, and is clear about a few non-negotiables: immersion, safety, development, and screen safety, while genuinely wanting a candidate with sound judgment who can confidently run the day independently within those boundaries. Warm, direct, and down-to-earth, they value humility, kindness, practical competence, and proactive and direct communication and are seeking a candidate who naturally embodies those same qualities.
- The parents are seeking a candidate who can maintain a respectful, low-pressure approach around the child. The home is vegetarian, screen-free, and social media-free, with a strong emphasis on health, outdoor exploration, and learning through experience. Family outings to zoos, aquariums, botanical gardens, and national parks are part of their rhythm. The family splits their time between Charlotte and the Big Island of Hawaii, with occasional travel to other regional destinations. Alternating between their two homes is a meaningful and regular part of their lifestyle, and the nanny/family assistant will be an integral part of these adventures. The nanny/family assistant will be invited to join family outings and lead appropriate outings independently when their child grows.
Ideal candidate:
- This position is ideal for an intelligent, developmentally minded, team-oriented, safety-conscious nanny/family assistant who brings advanced fluency in Japanese, Mandarin, or Spanish and a passion for supporting language acquisition in early childhood stages. The family is seeking someone with a clear, natural pronunciation and consistently accurate grammar suitable for modeling language for a child throughout the day. The ideal candidate is perceptive, creative, self-confident, calm, with a positive attitude and a genuine love of working with young children. An upbeat nanny/family assistant who is excited to foster communication, curiosity, and learning through everyday interactions, reading, play, exploration, and real-world experiences will be a wonderful fit. Grounded in nurturing and evidence-based child development, they are comfortable supporting emotional development through co-regulation, empathy, respectful boundaries, and child-led exploration - with healthy limits while encouraging the child's unique interests, temperament, and emerging preferences. The home prioritizes empathy, health, and happiness. They are looking for a candidate who encourages the child’s natural interests and drives, while maintaining age-appropriate structure and limits.
- As first-time parents who value direct communication and continuous learning, the family is seeking a caregiver who can confidently take ownership of the day while partnering thoughtfully with parents. The right candidate is team-minded, nurturing, and confident, someone who brings experience, perspective, and sound judgment while remaining collaborative and open to family values and preferences. During downtimes, the candidate will help support household tasks, so someone willing to pitch in where needed and naturally takes initiative in maintaining an organized home will be an excellent fit. Since the family enjoys enriching, outdoor-oriented activities, they would love to work with a candidate who enjoys outings and learning-by-doing while staying aligned with their safety-conscious, screen-free approach. Travel between the family’s two home bases is an essential part of the role. The ideal candidate is travel-ready, adaptable, and able to provide consistent, reliable support as the family transitions between residences and navigates life on the road.
- This role’s primary 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, before and after school routines, coordinating activities, and traveling with the family throughout the year. As the child’s needs allow, up to 15% of this role’s hours may consist of general family assisting duties such as running errands, light cleaning, simple meal planning and preparation, grocery shopping, coordinating vendors, scheduling/arranging home service providers (handymen, cleaners, etc), and managing the family calendar.
Qualifications:
- 3 years of professional childcare experience
- Genuinely enjoys supporting and engaging with infants and toddlers
- Advanced fluency (C1 on the CEFR scale) in Japanese, Mandarin, or Spanish
- Experience providing in-home immersive language environments
- Knowledge in evidence-based child development
- Ability to travel with the family throughout the year
- Provide and maintain a screen-free home environment
- Willingness to undertake family assisting duties
- Valid driver's license
- Travel experience
- Fully vaccinated and up to date on all standard vaccinations
- Partners, family members, and/or pets cannot be housed in any temporary or long-term accommodations provided by the family
This position is open to all Adventure Nannies candidates who are legally able to work in the US.

Household dynamic:
- This close-knit family of five is excited to welcome two experienced rotational nannies to their household team as they settle into life in Florida. Their 12-year-old daughter is a bright, inquisitive, artistic child who enjoys creative and athletic activities. Their 9-year-old son is a kind-hearted, empathetic, sports-loving kid passionate about math and science. The youngest, a joyful 6-year-old, loves to play chess and is often winning against her siblings, parents, and likely their new nannies as well! The family has lovingly supported her through three open-heart surgeries and countless other severe health concerns, and they are amazed by her grace and strength through it all. Given her heart condition and immunocompromised status, the family maintains a strict protocol in their home to minimize the risk of exposure to infections and illnesses. All three children enjoy Pokémon, manga, Star Wars, and spending time together, and they attend school Monday through Friday.
- The family is incredibly community-minded, values kindness above all else, and enjoys spending time with large extended family, hosting friends, and creating meaningful experiences together. As they establish roots in Florida, they're excited to explore everything the city has to offer and would especially value at least one nanny who is familiar with the local area, including children's activities and family-friendly destinations. The household is fully staffed with an executive assistant, housekeepers, drivers, and additional estate staff, and they are committed to building a collaborative team with excellent longevity.

Ideal candidate:
- This position is ideal for experienced, reliable, and confident career rotational nannies who are proactive, engaged, and genuinely enjoy becoming an integral part of a family's long-term support system. As the family builds a new life in Florida without an established local support network, they're looking for professionals who can confidently assess situations, make sound decisions independently, and seamlessly step in wherever needed. Someone who can find calm in the joyful chaos of school-aged kids will fit right in! Experience working in fully staffed homes, supporting school-aged children, and collaborating with hands-on parents will be invaluable. Familiarity with the local area and its family-friendly resources will be highly appreciated, especially as the family settles in and familiarizes themselves with all that southern Florida has to offer.
- Due to their youngest daughter's medical history and compromised immune system, candidates must be exceptionally conscientious about health and safety protocols. This includes following the family's illness prevention procedures, masking in crowded indoor public spaces, maintaining excellent hygiene practices, and participating in daily PCR testing to protect their youngest. The role also includes physically supporting their youngest daughter when she shows signs of fatigue or difficulty regulating her temperature. The ideal candidate must be able to assist, lift, or carry her as needed, and actively spot her during physical activities to ensure her continued safety, as she has made amazing progress and continues to develop. They hope to work with a capable and responsive rotational team who can easily integrate into the family’s dynamic and be passionate in supporting their warm, family-oriented home.
- 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 and clothes, managing occasional errands, before and after school routines, coordinating activities, and traveling with the family throughout the year.
- While not required, the family would love to work with a candidate who has experience traveling with families and children and working in a fully staffed home - able to adapt to routines and structures that have been established in the home. They would also love someone who enjoys swimming, skiing, participating in water sports, and/or ice skating. The children love these activities, and they’re hoping their childcare team will be excited to join them!

Household dynamic:
- This well-supported family in Bulverde, Texas, has one delightful daughter who is two years old. She is funny, energetic, and loves to keep everyone laughing. She attends preschool during the day and enjoys gymnastics and dance classes during the week. Currently, she is transitioning to a Spanish-immersive school. While the home has many hands available to coordinate care and needs, the family would love dedicated support for her. Another beloved part of the family is their adorable dog.
- Both parents lead busy lifestyles as entrepreneurs and travel often throughout the year, typically 8–12 weeks, primarily domestically with occasional international trips. At this time, their daughter only travels domestically with them. The family lives on a beautiful property and is supported by a full-staffed household, including a chef, housekeeper, organizer, scheduling assistant, pool maintenance, and interior designer. The nanny's primary focus will always be their daughter while also providing thoughtful family assistant support and traveling with the family when needed.
Ideal candidate:
- This position is ideal for a professional career nanny who enjoys becoming an integral part of a well-supported household while maintaining clear professional boundaries. The ideal candidate will have a true passion for early childhood development and delight in creating engaging, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate experiences for a curious toddler. They will be enthusiastic about supporting the family's daughter through each stage of growth, including confidently caring for her textured hair and bringing a genuine willingness to learn this important aspect of her care.
- The family is seeking someone who is highly trustworthy, dependable, and emotionally intelligent, someone who naturally leads with integrity, discretion, and sound judgment. They value a nanny who is warm, calm, confident, adaptable, and genuinely enjoys building lasting relationships with the families they serve while maintaining the professionalism expected in a private home. As the family hopes to grow in the future, they are excited to find a long-term nanny who is eager to grow alongside them.
- 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, before and after school routines, coordinating activities, and traveling with the family throughout the year. Family assisting duties include running errands, light meal planning and preparation, grocery shopping, managing packages, coordinating vendors, and managing the family calendar.
- While not a requirement for the role, the family would love to work with a candidate who has experience in family assisting and speaks a second language (Spanish, Arabic, or French).
Qualifications:
- 3 years of professional childcare experience
- Travel experience
- Able to swim and care for children in water
- Experience working in a team or fully-staffed environment

What are you looking for in a resume?
Your resume is the first thing both our team at Adventure Nannies and a prospective family will see, so it’s important that your resume is clear and concise, and your experience and qualifications are shown in the best light.
To ensure your candidacy is considered as quickly as possible, your resume should:
- List all relevant positions worked, in chronological order from most recent to least recent
- Include start- and end-dates (month and year) for each position
- Provide individual listings for each full-time/part-time, long-term position (no blanket positions, e.g., “Nanny for multiple families, 2014-2019”)
- Include the ages of the children at the start of the position
- Describe the nature of the role (full-time, part-time, on-call, summer only, and so on)

Can you wait to call my references until after I have a job offer?
Sorry, but no. It’s important for us to gather as much information about our candidates as we can before introducing them to families. So we’re going to need to speak to your references first. And if you sent in a letter of recommendation or diploma, we’ll be verifying that as well.
Does raising my own children count as childcare experience?
While we know it’s a lot of work, raising your own children is not considered a professional childcare experience.
Working in another family’s home and following their rules and family philosophy is a skill that can only be learned on the job. The families we work with are looking for candidates who already possess that professional experience.
What do you look for when reviewing applications?
- Professionalism
- Extended full- or part-time experience
- Proven ability to commit to a long-term position (if seeking such a position)
- Passion for working and/or educating children
- Strong resume
- Excellent professional references
- Prompt, polite, and grammatically correct communication skills
- Organized and “tech savvy”
- Unique life/traveling experiences
- Hobbies, talents, volunteerism, sports, and so on
Candidates with Bachelor’s degree or higher strongly preferred
When will I receive an update?
Our team reviews applications for each specific job to verify candidates have extensive experience applicable to the position. Due to the high volume of applications and jobs, we are unable to provide an update for each position you applied for. If your qualifications match the current needs of the families, then our team will be in touch with you directly to discuss the next steps.
In the meantime, we encourage you to utilize our Candidate Resources and Candidate Process pages for additional information.
How do you screen candidates?
Each candidate has at least two interviews with our team. We also check at three professional childcare references to verify your employment and conduct an online and social media screen before you are presented to a family.
Once you’ve received an offer of employment, you’ll undergo a thorough background check in compliance with applicable laws:
- Criminal Background Investigation
- DMV Driving Record
- Social Security Number Verification
- Sex Offender Registry
- Civil Restraining Orders
- National Wants and Warrants
- Education Verification
- TrustLine Verification (California)

Why am I not getting chosen for any of the jobs I apply for?
Our placements are extremely competitive. In fact, for each job you see, less than 5% of applicants will be actively considered, including candidates in our existing roster and brand new candidates.
Because we recruit all over the country, our candidate pool is very large. That means we can only advance and screen the top candidates who are more than qualified for our positions and are a match for the family.

About Specific Jobs & Families
Do you have the job I want?
Maybe! And if we don’t, we might tomorrow. Check our Job Board for the most up-to-date positions and apply for any you find interesting!
Is the job still open?
Great news! If a job is on our Job Board, we’re still accepting applications for it! If the job closes after you’ve applied, you’ll immediately receive an email notification.
Can I ask a question about a job?
Due to confidentiality with our families, we can’t provide any other information about the position other than what is already listed in the job description. We truly understand how important it is to find the right fit, and if the family selects you to move forward, you will have many opportunities to discuss your specific questions throughout the interview process.
If you want to be considered for the position and learn more about it, the first step is submitting an application directly through our Job Board.
What are the standard job responsibilities requested by your families?
Nanny positions vary based on the family’s needs. General duties include feeding, dressing, and bathing the child(ren), as well as planning and carrying out age-appropriate activities, driving children to their activities, and careful supervision at all times. Additional duties may include light housekeeping, meal preparation, laundry, errands, and general family assistant duties. While deep cleaning will not be part of your job, we always expect our nannies to pitch in to the overall cleanliness of the family’s environment, and leave the home as clean or cleaner than it was when they arrived.
Private educator positions also vary greatly and depend on whether the family is looking for a private educator only, or someone to work in a hybrid private educator/nanny role. Curriculum-building may or may not be a requirement, and additional skills such as familiarity with alternative education methods or children with unique circumstances are often required or preferred.
How many families and jobs do you have?
The number of families we’re currently working with changes every day, and depends on the season, location, skill set, and current market. We typically limit the number of families for whom we’re recruiting long-term placements to ensure they receive the time and attention they deserve.
How do you screen the families/have you ever chosen to not work with a family?
Our team speaks directly with each family over the phone multiple times, which gives us a great sense of their personalities, needs, and lifestyles.
Although we do not background check families (we don’t know of any agency who does), we research each family as much as we research our candidates. We collect references from current and past employees and conduct an internet screen so we feel confident their home will be a safe and positive workplace. Many of our families were referred through loyal past clients, which is an added endorsement.
We turn down approximately 80% of the families who reach out to us.
Is there a trial period?
During the interview process, we encourage families to have a paid trial of 1 to 7 days for each candidate.
What do I do if I'm not happy with my placement?
We want everyone to feel happy and comfortable. That’s why we spend so much time and effort getting to know our clients and their families, learning what’s important to them, and understanding how a domestic employee will fit in. The perfect fit—the first time—is not only a goal for parents, candidates, and the children; it is Adventure Nannies’ priority!
In addition, we provide ongoing support throughout your placement. Once a candidate is hired, we check in to see how things are going, provide training and check-in materials, and offer feedback from the family.
If you're not happy or comfortable, let us know.
We have a number of resources that can help create solutions for sustainable relationships. And if you feel the position is beyond repair, we’ll help you make your plan for notifying the family.
About Agency Fees and Compensation
Does becoming an Adventure Nanny candidate cost anything?
Absolutely not. Becoming a member of our roster is free. However, you must commit yourself to match our high standards of responsibility, professionalism, and punctuality. We expect clear, quick communication, and extreme discretion.
Does Adventure Nannies take a cut of candidates' pay?
No. Never. We charge a fee to families, and we advocate for our candidates’ requested rates and benefits (provided the requests line up with their level of experience). You set your own rates, and the family pays you directly.
What benefits do you suggest offering?
An important part of our role is educating both families and candidates on legal practices for hiring a domestic employee. A key facet of that is ensuring each candidate we place who is paid over the minimum annual threshold ($2,200 in 2020) is paid legally, or “on the books.”
Being paid legally is not only a basic qualification of any professional position, but it also protects you as an employee by offering unemployment, worker’s comp, and other benefits associated with working legally.
Whether or not you find a placement through Adventure Nannies, we encourage you to pursue positions that include legal pay. Accepting positions without legal pay put both you and the employing family in legal jeopardy that can result in back taxes, fines, or criminal action. It can also prevent you from receiving unemployment benefits at the conclusion of your position.
What is the average salary of your candidates?
Depending on location, job specifics, and details, our nanny positions typically range from $40 to $45+ per hour and private educator positions range from $45 to $50+ per hour.
At this time, all of our families offer a minimum of 40 guaranteed hours, paid weekly on the books. We also encourage families to provide health insurance assistance, paid time off, and other benefits to ensure the longevity of whomever they choose to hire!
Who is responsible for a candidate's travel expenses on a temporary or travel assignment?
The traveling family is responsible for their candidate’s transportation, lodging, and meals. We always recommend our families offer comfortable, private travel accommodations whenever possible.
In some cases, candidates may prefer to book their own travel and get reimbursed, but that step is always optional and based on the candidate’s preferences. Ability to do so and does not preclude candidates from being considered for positions.
