Specialized Rotational Nanny Search

Household Overview

This California-based family is seeking an experienced rotational nanny to join their established household team. The family has three elementary-aged children and is looking for a professional, organized, and engaging candidate who can confidently support both childcare and family assistant responsibilities within a fully staffed home environment.

The children attend school full-time during the day. During school hours, the nanny will assist with child-related household tasks, errands, organization, scheduling, and general family support. The ideal candidate enjoys working with school-aged children, can create engaging and educational activities, and understands how to balance being proactive while maintaining professional boundaries within the home.

The household operates with a collaborative team that includes an estate manager, housekeeping staff, chefs, maintenance staff, and additional nanny support. The family values professionalism, communication, flexibility, and strong organizational skills.

The family travels several times throughout the year, including trips within the U.S., the Caribbean, and Europe. The nanny should be comfortable traveling and adaptable to changing schedules and environments.

Ideal Candidate

This role is ideal for a career nanny with experience in fully staffed homes and a strong understanding of the needs of school-aged children. The family is seeking someone who is organized, observant, proactive, and able to manage multiple responsibilities efficiently.
