Experienced, Flexible FT Nanny for Busy Family in SF

A family in SF is looking for a kind, capable, and team-oriented nanny to join their family in caring for their children (1-6 years old). This is a long-term position for someone who genuinely enjoys being with kids, is organized and flexible, and excited to be part of a busy, loving household.

This person will primarily care for their youngest and will have limited interaction with the older children but should be flexible and willing to care for them as needed. Responsibilities include planning age-appropriate activities and engaging in play, working on development, running occasional errands, light tidying, simple meal prep/cooking, laundry, and organization. The role is focused on childcare, but fleixibility to help with light household tasks and a “no task too small” mindset is important. Candidates must be willing to work date nights and weekends as needed.

The best person for them is discrete, team-oriented, proactive, and flexible. They value trust, calm, and curiosity in their home. Their children are affectionate, playful, and full of energy — they love imaginative play, being outside, and one-on-one connection. They want to find someone who feels like a natural extension of their family — a true co-parent during busy times, and a steady, loving presence for their children.

Travel: Flexibility and willingness to travel occasionally (1-3 weeks per year), including internationally.

*Schedule: Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. + flexibility to work date nights/weekends as needed. The family would also consider Sunday-Tuesday 35-40 hours/week or Wednesday-Satursday 45-50 hours/week.
