Full-Time Newborn Nanny in Sherman Oaks, CA

Family Syllabus: These first-time parents in Sherman Oaks are seeking a knowledgeable, nurturing full-time nanny to care for their 4-week-old newborn son. Their sweet son was born with a clubfoot, and he will be in a cast and undergo multiple surgeries over the next year. A nanny who has experience with infants with a clubfoot or even hip dysplasia would be ideal to support this family. Nannies who are empathetic and experienced with children who have hospital visits in their first year would be a bonus!  They value a consistent and caring environment that supports his growth, early learning, and natural curiosity. Since Mom and Dad work both in and out of the home, they hope to find someone who is collaborative, communicative, and comfortable taking direction. The ideal candidate has strong newborn and infant experience, a genuine interest in child development, and a desire to become a long-term, integrated part of the family. They also have a housekeeper to support with deep cleaning. Their home is located in an area that has hills, and there are 30 steps up to reach the front door.

Ideal Candidate: This family is seeking a calm, nurturing, and dedicated nanny to provide comprehensive and loving care for their infant and to partner closely with them in his ongoing development. Core responsibilities include all aspects of daily care, including feeding, diapering, bathing, and maintaining consistent sleep and feeding routines in alignment with the family’s guidance. The ideal candidate will actively support the child’s cognitive, social, and physical growth through age-appropriate engagement such as reading, music, games, and enriching activities both in and outside the home. This role also includes ensuring the child’s safety and a clean environment by managing his laundry, sterilizing bottles, and performing light tidying. Excellent daily communication about his activities, milestones, and any concerns is crucial, as you will collaborate closely with the parents to maintain a consistent and evolving care plan that supports positive behavioral development and reinforces boundaries as he grows. While the parents are open to hiring a candidate who doesn’t have a college degree, they would like the nanny to have a strong foundation in child development.
