Highly Organized Career Nanny / Household Manager Needed FT in Atherton

A family in Atherton is seeking a warm, highly organized, and proactive career nanny / household manager. They are hoping to find a long-term nanny/house manager to support their family including care for their two daughters (currently 18 months and 3.5 years old).
