A family in the Bay Area is seeking a full-time, live-in companion/nanny/domestic couple for their 15-year-old son, who spends the school term in Los Olivos, CA. The schedule will be a guaranteed 50 hours per week over 5 days, with 2 consecutive days off. Candidates should be flexible to accommodate changes to this schedule, with respectable notice. One parent will be in residence 70% of the time, and the other parent will be there every other week.

• Though the son is independent, candidates must still prioritize his safety and well-being at all times
• School drop-off/pick-up 
• Simple food prep- there is a chef who will provide food most of the time, but they won’t be in permanent residence
• Ensure the son completes/submits his assignments on time
• Ensure the son gets to all his appointments/extra curricular activities/practice/tutor sessions, etc.
• Nurture both the son’s academic and social life - e.g. he loves baseball
• For domestic couples, the family welcomes one individual managing the residence (6000 square feet) and the other taking care of the son
• Being prepared to be on-site, not to manage the property, but liaise with the housekeepers or vendors if something needs fixing, for example - there are other staff (a property manager/IT specialist/caretaker, etc.) in place to spearhead more serious repairs/maintenance
• Generally ensure the property is kept tidy and maintained when the principals are not in residence, and troubleshoot any issues to the property manager/caretaker etc., if required

• Must be seasoned, with multiple years of experience working in a similar role - this opportunity is not suited to individuals who are seeking a robust social life daily. Rather, this is an agricultural, rural area and the estate is set on 26 acres of land, with 17 of these planted as a working vineyard
• Superlative, verifiable, and preferably long-term references 
• Must be reliable, trustworthy, supremely professional, with a solid moral compass and a kind, warm demeanor

• US passport, Green Card or EAC 
• Clean and current driving record 
• Passport ready and willing to travel, if required 
• Trustline registered (or willing to register ASAP) 
• Available to start ASAP
• There is a separate portion of farmland assigned to keeping goats, chickens, lamas, donkeys etc. but these are not part of the estate where the candidate will live, and candidates are not permitted to pet these animals. However, candidates should be aware in case they have allergies to animals/farmland.
• Candidates should plan all vacation time around the academic year i.e. when the son is off school, he will either travel or go back to his home in the Bay Area, and the candidate will rarely, if ever, be expected to join him

• $140-$150k per year, full benefits and healthcare (medical, dental, vision) and all applicable overtime.
• For domestic couples the salary will be in line with market rates (likely $180-200k per year)
• Provision of a separate, self-contained, 2-bedroom casita across from the pool (on property, but completely private)
