Start: April/May 2024
A lovely British family moving to Menlo Park in April is seeking a part-time nanny to help care for their two daughters (aged 9 months and 2 years). Their toddler has an advanced vocabulary and is very communicative, loves reading and music, and especially enjoys outings to museums, playgrounds, petting farms, and the zoo. Their baby naturally loves doing whatever her big sister does! They are looking for someone with experience caring for two young children who can juggle the ever-changing needs of a toddler and a baby. Their ideal nanny is familiar with the Montessori philosophy, follows a positive approach to setting boundaries, and will be consistent with their approach to parenting. Mom will be on maternity leave for a few more months so its important to find a nanny who will enjoy collaborating and working alongside her.
