A Bay Area family is seeking a mature, warm, and professional Rota Nanny for their two young children, ages 3.5 and 1.5. The ideal candidate is experienced, confident, and knowledgeable, with a willingness to work holidays and travel as needed. The role requires a self-starter with recent infant and toddler experience, excellent communication skills, and the ability to work seamlessly with co-nannies and parents. The nanny should be highly organized, systems-oriented, and knowledgeable about developmental milestones, especially fine motor skills.

Discretion, confidentiality, and a focus on safety are paramount.
