The Nanny Edit is seeking an energetic, polished, and adaptable Weekend Nanny to support a warm, close-knit family based between Pasadena and Solvang. This role centers around the care of an active and curious 17-month-old little girl who thrives with engagement, movement, and connection. The ideal candidate is someone who naturally brings high energy, warmth, professionalism, and a calm presence into the home.

This is an excellent opportunity for a nanny who enjoys being integrated into family life. The family frequently attends outings, dinners, and events together and is seeking someone who feels comfortable accompanying them and seamlessly rolling with the flow of the day.

The parents are very hands-on and deeply involved in their daughter’s life. They value kindness, communication, curiosity, creativity, good manners, and creating meaningful experiences together as a family. Their home environment is loving, respectful, and intentional, and they are looking for a nanny who aligns naturally with those values.

While the parents prefer to take the lead on primary discipline, they absolutely value a nanny who can confidently provide gentle corrective guidance when appropriate, particularly surrounding safety, manners, respect, and overall well-being. The ideal candidate will be nurturing while also capable of reinforcing boundaries in a positive and age-appropriate way. Additional responsibilities include maintaining tidiness throughout the day, staying organized, assisting with child-related tasks, and helping keep shared spaces neat and running smoothly.
