Description

Overview

A travel-loving and kind family is seeking a full-time live-out nanny/family assistant to join their team caring for their infant son. The position will begin as soon as the ideal candidate is found. The general schedule will be Monday through Friday from 8 or 8:30- 5:30 or 6pm, with flexibility needed for weekend hours and longer shifts during travel, especially over the summer. The position will be live-out while at their Los Gatos house but live-in with private accommodations during travel and at their other homes. The position is open to both local and exceptional relocation candidates. The parents hope to find a true career nanny who can engage their child in developmentally appropriate and educational activities. The family values education, health, and time with extended family. 

Responsibilities

  • Full child care: Providing a warm and loving environment, care and engagement of the child including enrichment in age-appropriate activities that foster physical, social, and emotional growth including designing a schedule of activities (inside and outside the home) that foster creativity and help the child progress in development. The principal employs two mother’s helpers, and her sister, who also resides in the multi-generational home, employs a BAHS-placed nanny for her own two young children. While the primary responsibility will be the care and development of the principal’s children, collaboration and communication will be key, as the children and staff of both families often share spaces, routines, and schedules.
  • Transportation to activities, play dates, and outings with pick-up and drop-offs at school as the child gets older. Their ideal nanny loves to research local adventures and activities and will get their son out and about and learning through exploration as he grows 
  • Coordinating schedules for naps and meals, activities, and travel
  • Helping with some meal preparation for the child including finding healthy recipes and collaborating with mom on a weekly meal plan 
  • Managing the tidiness and organization of the child's spaces and belongings including restocking items and keeping an inventory of what is at each home 
  • The ideal candidate is open to spending about 50% of the week doing family assistant tasks, when parents or other family members are with the child. For example, picking up dry cleaning, running local errands, making reservations for travel, etc. There will be some house management help depending on location. This could be a range from managing other staff who clean in the house and making sure the duties are fulfilled and house is kept clean, inventory of household supplies, car maintenance etc. 

Qualifications

  • The family fosters a close-knit multi-generational household where both parents love spending time with their extended family and are actively involved in their daily lives. They frequently move between fully-staffed homes within the family’s vicinity, often spending time with siblings and parents, which creates a warm and social environment. This role involves close coordination with other household staff.  You must be okay with tag teaming with family, mother’s helpers, another BAHS placed nanny often daily, and be very social.
  • Pitch-in attitude and a proactive and positive personality
  • Know ages and stages and what developmental milestones are coming next plus activities to help children grow and flourish 
  • Grounded and practical approach to childcare

Requirements

  • Confident swimming skills and comfortable supervising children in the water 
  • Travel ready: experienced traveling with families and current passport/able to travel internationally 
  • Driver’s license and clean driving record (nanny car provided)
  • Professional/career nanny who knows how to maintain boundaries and able to navigate a fully-staffed house
