Collaborative & Knowledgeable Nanny for 3-Month Old Girl
Base Schedule
- Tuesday-Friday
- 8 AM-5 PM Tuesday-Thursday
- 8 AM-4 PM Friday
- 35 hours per week
Additional Hours
- Once monthly Saturday, 4-5 hours OR once monthly Monday evening , 2-3 hours desired (not required)
These down-to-earth first-time parents of an alert, observant baby girl are seeking a kind, experienced nanny to become part of a true team. Baby will be just under 3 months old at the start of the position and is described as curious and expressive. During awake hours, she is quite attentive to her environment and the people around her, so it is important that nanny is highly engaging while also allowing her an age-appropriate level of independence to explore. She already excels at communicating her needs so nanny should have the experience and knowledge in infant development to be mindful of, and responsive to, her cues. It is preferred that candidates have a background in Montessori and/or RIE methodologies and should also be creative about coming up with activities that will foster baby’s growth and development. The family plans to teach basic baby sign language and would like a nanny who is on board to help, but no previous baby sign experience is required.
While baby is not on a rigid schedule, she does have a natural sleeping and eating pattern she’s fallen into with 2-3 hour awake windows. She takes expressed breastmilk from a bottle exclusively, and she typically naps for about 30 minutes to an hour at a time. At this time, she takes contact naps, being held by mom or dad, but this family is very open to nanny suggestions and support with getting baby into the bassinet for naptime. They are excited to find a nanny they can learn from and collaborate with. They are looking for a team player who can provide advice and wisdom and bring new ideas to the table, but who is also adaptable and comfortable taking their lead. The ideal candidate is someone who is warm, relaxed, and eager to integrate into the role as another member of the family.
Dad is an executive coach and part-time grad school student. Mom is in customer success. Both parents are adventurous and outdoorsy and expect nanny to spend ample time getting baby out of the house for long walks and visits to local parks. They are within blocks of Totland park and a little over half a mile from Ohlone park and lots of green spaces. In the future, as baby grows and becomes ready for longer outings, nanny should be comfortable planning these outings (to zoos, museums, new play attractions, etc.) and either using their own vehicle with mileage reimbursement or using the family car if available.
Mom is currently on maternity leave and will begin working again in July, allowing time for everyone to adjust to the new dynamic. Both parents work from home full-time and Dad goes to grad school part-time, in-person. The home enters into a great room area, where baby’s supplies, a bouncer, swing, and playmat, and a sleep space are set up. Off of the great room is the nursery which doubles as dad’s office during the day. Beyond the great room is the kitchen and laundry area and main bedroom which doubles as mom’s office. The kitchen leads to a spacious back deck with plenty of room for a water table or picnic. A few steps down from the deck is a lovely yard with ample shade and plenty of plants to look at and little paths to wander.
This family has one friendly and affectionate 3-year old dog, a border collie/Australian shepherd mix. She is exercised every morning and then rests or naps for the remainder of the day. The ideal candidate enjoys being around dogs but no pet care is required.
This family requires that nanny is up to date on vaccinations, including COVID-19. Following CDC recommendations regarding vaccine booster shots is also required.

Location: Adams Point, Oakland, CA

Seasoned, Upbeat Nanny for 5-Month Old & Big Sister
Base Schedule
- Monday-Friday
- 8 AM-5 PM
- 45 hours, including 5 hours of overtime pay, per week
Additional Hours
- Occasional date nights (approximately twice per month) required
This cheerful, friendly family of four is seeking a very experienced, enthusiastic nanny to care for, primarily, their baby boy who will be just under 5 months old at the start of the position. Mom and dad describe baby as pretty relaxed. He loves being held but is just beginning to enjoy some independent floor time, as well. The ideal candidate is energetic, knowledgeable about child development, and has the right combination of experience and intuition to truly take the lead in the role. He can be vocal about things he’s not enjoying (such as tummy time!), so nanny should be patient, warm, and soothing during fussy moments.
Baby is currently primarily breastfed, but he does take expressed milk and formula from bottles easily, and will likely fully transition to formula by the time nanny starts. He has naturally fallen into a “sleep, eat, play, eat” pattern with 1 ½ to 2 hour wake windows, which begin with a feed when he wakes up and end with a feed before he takes his next nap. He generally sleeps anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours at a time, with the morning nap being the longest stretch and the evening nap being just a “cat nap.”
Big sister will turn 4 in June, and is in a full-day preschool program. Most days, no care for big sister will be required, but nanny should be comfortable caring for both children if the preschool is closed. Occasional school pick-ups may also be required, and these would take place right at the end of nanny’s workday, at 4:30 PM. Big sister is silly, loving, and thrives with structure and consistency. She enjoys puzzles, reading, coloring, drawing, singing, and dancing. Like most 3-year olds, she does test boundaries from time to time, but setting clear expectations and helping her understand what’s coming next are effective ways to reduce this behavior.
Both parents are in tech and work from home 1-2 days per week, but rarely on the same days. There is an enclosed home office space in the attic. They have demanding careers and are really looking for a candidate who they can trust completely to manage the day and own the role. They would love someone who is willing to make a very long-term commitment to their family, ideally, at least 3 years.
The Adams Point neighborhood home is on three levels. There are steps up to the front door which opens to the main level of the home, where there’s a spacious living room, remodeled kitchen, and breakfast nook, as well as all of the bedrooms. The garage and basement are at the lower level of the home, and the attic has been converted into an office space. The backyard is small, with a concrete patio perfect for chalk art and scootering. Lake Merritt, Grand Avenue and Lakeshore Avenue shops and cafes are within a few blocks.
This family has two cats. No pet care is required.
This family requires that nanny is up to date on vaccinations, including COVID-19. Following CDC recommendations regarding vaccine booster shots is also required.

Highly Responsible & Trustworthy Nanny for 5-Month Old
Base Schedule:
- Monday-Friday
- 7 AM-3 PM
- 40 hours per week
These friendly, busy professional parents are seeking an honest, dependable, and experienced nanny. Care is primarily for their youngest child, a 5-month old boy. He’s a great sleeper and he is exclusively breastfed. Mom takes breaks routinely to nurse, so it is important that nanny is willing to stay close to home throughout the day. Candidates should have plenty of infant experience to draw on, as there are many infant milestones and transitions on the horizon. Supporting his development through age-appropriate activities, plenty of floor time, and engagement through reading, singing, and talking is a priority. At 6 months, he will begin the transition to solids, so candidates should be comfortable and experienced with that process and with making baby food.
Baby has two older siblings who are in full-day preschool programs at the same school from 8:15 or 8:30 AM until 2:30 PM, so nanny will help out with them briefly in the mornings, and for less than a half hour at the end of the day. Nanny may be asked to help with some school drop-offs and pick-ups in the future. Mom is off work at 1:30 PM, and will want to spend as much time with the children as possible.
Big sister is 3 and loves the color pink, dresses, crafts, and anything traditionally “girly.” Nanny should be willing to engage her in her current interests but also introduce her to new and different activities and encourage her to really explore the world around her. She is in the midst of the transition from youngest child to middle child, and would thrive with someone who is mindful of the challenges of this transition and really strives to identify and acknowledge the big feelings surrounding it.
Big brother just turned 5 years old. He is quite intelligent and loves building and tinkering independently. He is even currently working on building a toy car with moving parts, following a 200-page manual almost completely on his own! It is important to this family that the children get outside for exercise daily. There is a park within walking distance of the home, although the older children prefer scootering, biking, or running to taking walks. Nanny should have the energy to keep up with the kids and also really encourage plenty of physical activity. Big brother, in particular, is a homebody, so he’ll do best with a nanny who is enthusiastic and active and who makes outdoor time an expected part of his daily routine.
Candidates with a Montessori background are encouraged to apply. This family believes in providing the children with structure through which independence is fostered. They thrive with clear expectations and a consistent routine while also being offered the freedom to learn through doing and to experience natural consequences.
This is a nanny role that includes some light household support. Family laundry, light tidying, packing lunches, and simple cooking and meal preparation are required. Some of these tasks can be accomplished during baby’s nap times, but because mom ends her workday before nanny is off and she will take over childcare in the afternoon, there will be time allowed for household duties to be tackled while the children are in her care.
Nanny should expect to prepare up to 4 dinners per week. This family is very open to any type of cuisine nanny wishes to prepare, including simple, child-friendly meals, so while cooking is an important component of the job, it does not need to be complicated or time-consuming. Nanny is also welcome to cook for the week in batches ahead of time. The family is fine with leftovers!
Mom is a psychiatrist and works part-time from home. Dad is a doctor and works outside of the home full-time. He has variable hours and an untraditional schedule, so there may be times in which he is home sleeping during nanny’s workday. These parents are seeking a candidate who can keep the children highly engaged during the day as well as set firm boundaries when necessary, as it is of the utmost importance that disruptions to mom’s work are kept minimal. Both parents are warm, kind, and easy to talk to. They are seeking a mature, dedicated, and dependable nanny who is open to a long-term commitment (ideally 3 years). Candidates should have a track record of professionalism and pride in their work, especially when it comes to reliability, punctuality, and proactiveness.
The home is bright, tidy, and contemporary. The front door opens to the main floor with an open floor plan. There is a staircase in the middle of the main floor and off one side of the staircase is a short corridor with doors to mom’s office and the downstairs bathroom. Past the corridor and to the rear of the house is the kitchen which opens up to a great room containing a Montessori-style play area with neatly organized toy shelves, a bookshelf, and a kid-sized table and chairs for projects. There are multiple patio doors leading to a lovely backyard with a leveled paver patio great for scootering and biking, a lawn, and a climbing tree and playhouse. The family will be adding a full playscape soon. There is also a steep hill in the yard behind a retaining wall, great for climbing and small backyard “hikes.” Back inside, the great room continues to the front of the house where there’s a living space with a large, comfy couch. The upstairs houses four bedrooms, with baby in the nursery and big brother and big sister sharing a room.
A vehicle will be provided for use on the job and a perfect driving record is required for the position.
This family also requires that nanny is up to date on vaccinations, including COVID-19, as well as following CDC recommendations regarding vaccine booster shots.

Gentle & Gregarious Nanny for 4-Month Old Boy
Base Schedule
- Monday-Friday
- 8 AM-5 PM Monday-Thursday
- 9 AM-1 PM Friday
- 40 hours per week
These friendly first-time parents are seeking a sociable, attentive, and gentle nanny for their 4-month old baby boy. They describe him as bright, aware, and very engaged with the people and environment around him. He is happiest when he’s looking and cooing at a friendly face! It is incredibly important to this family that nanny be willing to continue to foster his social development. The ideal candidate is already part of a network of local nannies or would be happy to join or create one! Playdates at the park, participation in story times and classes, and ample outdoor time are strongly encouraged. Baby also absolutely loves music (especially watching dad play guitar!). Candidates who are bilingual in English and any other language encouraged to apply, though being bilingual is not a requirement for the position.
Baby exclusively takes breastmilk bottles. He can be slow to finish bottles and does better with small amounts more frequently than large amounts spread further apart. He naps according to wake windows, typically every 1 ½-2 hours. He will often start a bottle when he wakes up from a nap and finish it throughout his wake window. It is very important that nanny be willing to track baby’s intake, and should have a calm and patient disposition, never being forceful or pushy with feeds. Baby can be sensitive and expressive about any sort of discomfort he may be feeling. Robust infant experience will be helpful in learning his cues and identifying and navigating his needs.
Mom and dad are both in tech and have hybrid remote/in-person roles. Mom works from home Mondays and Fridays and in person Tuesdays through Thursdays, and dad works from home 3-4 days per week (including every Friday) and in person 1-2 days per week. Dad has a dedicated home office and mom works from the primary bedroom. They have one 5-year old dog, a mini goldendoodle. No pet care is required, but candidates should enjoy being around dogs, as she is very friendly and will want some attention throughout the day. No household duties are required, but candidates will be expected to wash baby’s laundry, tidy up after baby, and prepare meals and snacks for baby when the time comes.
The Claremont Hills home is on two levels, with an upper story solely dedicated to the garage. The main level of the home is the second level, where there is a bright living room leading to a dining area which is open to a large kitchen and small family room/den space. The dining room and living room have doors leading to a patio with an amazing view of the backyard and surrounding hills. The lowest level of the home is where the nursery, main bedroom, and dad’s office are located, and the backyard is accessible from this floor. Because the home is in a hilly area, the yard is somewhat steeply sloped. There’s a small, partially shaded patio and a small grassy area right off of the home, with a pathway leading down to a larger patio area with outdoor living furniture and a hammock. The backyard is a great space to carry baby around outdoors, but is not especially functional as a playspace, so walks around the neighborhood and trips to parks are a great way to get baby outdoors more often. For outings further from home, the ideal candidate is willing to use their own vehicle with mileage reimbursement, but a vehicle can be provided for use on the job if needed.
This family requires that nanny is up to date on vaccinations, including COVID-19. Following CDC recommendations regarding vaccine booster shots is also required.

Experienced Infant Nanny for Baby Girl, First-Time Parents
Base Schedule
- Monday-Friday
- 8 AM-4 PM
- 40 hours per week
Additional Hours
- Once-weekly date nights required (including one Friday night per month)
- Short-duration domestic travel required
These upbeat, friendly first-time parents are seeking a kind and experienced nanny for their baby girl who is due in February and will be between 2 ½ and 3 ½ months old at the start of the position. Because baby hasn’t been born yet and this family is still figuring out their parenting philosophy, they are open to a variety of caregiving styles. A night doula will be helping this family for the first four months after baby is born, so by the time nanny starts, this family will likely have some basic routines established. The ideal candidate is knowledgeable and adaptable, able to offer insight and wisdom but also comfortable following mom and dad’s lead as they continue to navigate new parenthood and get to know their baby.
Mom is a lawyer and works from home full-time. Dad is a business owner and works outside of the home most of the time. Both parents have dedicated home offices. These parents are looking for a nanny they can easily communicate and connect with. It’s important for them to feel completely comfortable with nanny and for nanny to feel completely comfortable with them. Mom’s schedule is somewhat flexible and she will want to spend as much time as possible with baby. For approximately an hour and a half each day, mom plans to take the lead on childcare to have extra bonding time with baby. During this time, nanny should be willing to tackle some household duties like basic tidying, family laundry, washing bottles, organizing baby’s nursery, and eventually, preparing baby’s meals/baby food. They do have dedicated house cleaners weekly, so nanny is not expected to help with any deep cleaning.
Continuity of care is important to this family, so they are looking for a nanny who will be willing to stay late for once-weekly date nights, including at least one date night per month to take place on a Friday, as well as some long-weekend domestic travel. These trips will be 2-3 days at a time and are most often within California, with one upcoming trip to Colorado this year. Nanny is not expected to travel with the family for longer vacations.
The Spanish-style Upper Rockridge home is on three levels. At street level, the entrance to the home opens to a foyer with stairs to the second floor. Off of the foyer to one side is mom’s office and to the other side is dad’s office and the living room. Off the living room is a small patio with steps down to the backyard. Straight through the foyer is a formal dining room and a remodeled kitchen with an eat-in space where built-ins are being added to convert the space to a living/dining area. Upstairs are the bedrooms–primary, nursery, and two guest rooms–as well as a laundry nook. The lower level of the home is being remodeled to accommodate a playroom/family room and third guest bedroom. The backyard is primarily garden space, with a stone path, a seating area, and ample shade.
This family has a cat and a 1-year old dog, a Chow Chow.
Nanny should be comfortable using their own vehicle on the job with mileage reimbursement.
This family requires that nanny is up to date on vaccinations, including COVID-19. Following CDC recommendations regarding vaccine booster shots is also required.

Friendly, Easy-Going, & Experienced Nanny for 7-Month Old
Base Schedule
- Monday-Thursday
- 8 AM-4 PM
- 32 hours per week
Additional Hours
- Flexibility to start as early as 7 AM required (as needed)
- Additional hours offered in the form of date nights (not required)
If you are the kind of nanny who loves to truly become part of the family you are working with, this is the perfect opportunity for you! These incredibly kind and warm first-time parents are looking for an engaging, supportive, and experienced nanny to care for their 7-month old son. He’s a cheerful and easy-going baby (with quite the head of hair!) and he’s a great eater and sleeper! Currently, he takes a bottle every 3 hours and solids twice during the day. He sleeps through the night and is on a three-nap schedule, but will be dropping the third nap very soon.
A typical flow for the day is a 7 AM wake-up followed by a bottle, playtime with dad, and solids. Nanny arrives at 8 for at-home playtime until the next bottle just before 10 AM, which is immediately followed by a morning nap. Baby generally falls asleep easily on his own in his crib wearing a sleep sack and with white noise on. On days he’s overtired and fussy, a bit of pre-nap rocking soothes him. After the morning nap ends, it’s time for a walk or outing, followed by lunch and a bottle around noon, just before his afternoon nap. He wakes up in time for another outing or walk around 3 PM. Nanny is welcome to modify the structure of the day, as long as baby stays on his feeding schedule and takes his morning nap at home. The afternoon nap can be on the go.
Baby needs lots of tummy time, as he is currently in physical therapy two to three times per month to develop his strength. Nanny should be very development-oriented, creative, and enthusiastic about finding ways to make tummy and floor time fun! It is also important to this family that nanny have an adventurous spirit and plenty of energy to get baby out of the house and exploring the world. Daily outings to parks, libraries, and, eventually, local attractions like children’s museums and zoos are strongly encouraged. A park and library are both within a 5-minute walk of the home, so no driving is required immediately, but as baby grows and longer outings become age-appropriate, nanny should be comfortable using their own vehicle with mileage reimbursement.
These parents are looking for a nanny they can connect and feel comfortable with. They value thoughtfulness, collaboration, and flexibility, and are quite thoughtful, collaborative, and flexible themselves. The ideal candidate is someone who visibly enjoys and takes pride in working with infants, will bring ideas to the table and offer feedback, and can also be adaptable and open to feedback as it comes up. Both parents are self-described as more introverted and they are looking for someone with a balanced personality, who is friendly and communicates well with them and is playful and loving with baby, but who can also be a calming, mellow presence throughout quieter, more relaxed moments in the day.
Mom is in the mental health field and works remotely at least three days a week. She works in person in Oakland the other one to two days of the week. Dad is an engineer and works fully remotely for an international company. He typically starts his work day very early in the morning and ends early in the afternoon. On Fridays, mom is either off of work or has a light workday, so she takes baby and spends the day with her parents, who live locally. They help out with the baby, so nanny will have Fridays off. This family is happy to offer more hours in the form of occasional date nights for the right candidate who desires more hours.
The entryway of the home leads to a dining room next with french doors leading to the backyard, where there is a small patch of turf, a swimming pool (with a maximum depth of 5 feet), and hot tub. There is also a path leading from the pool area to a small outdoor dining space. Back inside, off one side of the dining room is the living room, with more french doors to a brick patio leading to the front lawn area. Next to the living room is a family room and stairs leading to the basement level of the home which will eventually be set up as a playroom for baby. Off the opposite side of the dining room is a small hallway leading to mom’s office and a powder room. Continuing through the hallway leads to the kitchen, which opens up to a den area with built-ins and a window seat, where a lot of baby’s toys and diapering supplies are available for easy access. There are also stairs in the hallway which lead to the upper level of the home where the bedrooms and dad’s office are located.
The home is already very neat and organized, and a house cleaner comes every other Friday for deep cleaning. There are no household duties required, except for those directly pertaining to baby, like keeping his room and belongings clean and organized and washing his laundry. They would also appreciate if nanny is willing to pitch in with making baby food and coming up with ideas for new foods for baby.
This family has one small, very gentle and friendly dog. Pet care is not required, although this family would love nanny to take the dog on walks if that’s something nanny is comfortable with.
This family requires that nanny is up to date on vaccinations, including COVID-19. Following CDC recommendations regarding vaccine booster shots is also required.

Sharp & Proactive, Bilingual Family Assistant for Family of 5
Base Schedule
- Monday-Friday
- 7:30 AM-5:30 PM Mondays & Wednesdays
- 7 AM-11 AM Tuesdays & Thursdays
- 7 AM-5 PM Fridays
- 36.5 paid hours, including 4.5 hours overtime pay, per week – please note that family assistants are legally required to take a 30-minute unpaid meal/rest period, which is built into this schedule.
This busy, yet mellow family of 5 is looking for a highly organized, detail-oriented, intuitive, and honest family assistant for a 50% childcare/50% household support role. Candidates should be adaptable and able to easily pivot from childcare to household duties throughout the day.
Big sister is 5 and little brother is 3. Mom describes big sister as observant, thoughtful, and expressive. Little brother is described as silly, daring, and social, and generally pretty even-tempered. Both children attend full-day school programs and are dropped off by 8:30 AM. They are picked up at 2:30 PM on Mondays and 3:30 PM Tuesdays through Fridays. Family assistant will be expected to help the older children have breakfast and get ready for school, pack their lunches, drop them off at school daily and pick them up from school on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, drive them to dance class on Mondays, and help with the evening routine–bathing, pajamas, dinner. The youngest child in this family, one year old baby brother, has a dedicated nanny and does not require care. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, family assistant will help with the morning routine, school drop-off, and some lighter household duties, but grandparents take over in the afternoons so family assistant will have an early end on those days.
While the older children are at school, family assistant will have time to tackle household duties. Household responsibilities include kitchen upkeep (wiping down counters, sweeping, loading and unloading dishes as needed, keeping fridge and pantry organized and free of spills and expired items), taking out the trash, basic tidying and organizing of the bedrooms, bathrooms, and common areas (no deep cleaning), refilling and restocking household inventory like soap, toilet paper, tissue, etc., running errands, watering plants once per week, and wiping down outdoor furniture bi-weekly. A house cleaner comes weekly on Tuesdays to tackle the deep/detail cleaning. Once per month, family assistant will also be asked to pack up outgrown toys and clothes for donation or storage and replenish with new items (and keep a list of items that need to be purchased). Other organizing projects may be expected as needed. Cooking is also a requirement for this position. Family assistant is encouraged to batch cook family dinners and portion out snacks and school lunch ingredients for the week on Mondays.
While there are various household expectations, this family is already quite tidy and organized. Family assistant will be pitching in with upkeep using existing organizational systems rather than being expected to implement new systems or tackle large organizing or tidying projects from start to finish. An unpaid, 30-minute meal/rest period is worked into the schedule to be taken before the children are out of school on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Family assistant is welcome to take this break on or off-site.
The ideal candidate is a seasoned family assistant who is proactive and naturally organized. Someone who brings to the job an upbeat vibe and an eagerness to stay busy will be perfect for this family. Candidates must also be bilingual in English and Spanish. For errands and transportation, family assistant will be expected to use their own vehicle with mileage reimbursement.
There will be times in which family assistant will be working alongside baby brother’s nanny (Spanish speaking), who takes the lead on laundry, bringing in mail and deliveries and breaking down boxes, and pulling trash and recycling to the street weekly. Family assistant will not be expected to handle duties that the nanny takes the lead on regularly, but should be comfortable providing backup support occasionally. A willingness to collaborate and a “team player” personality are required.
Dad works from home part-time and in-person from his office in San Francisco part-time. He has a dedicated home office in the attic. Mom always works outside of the home.
In their large Piedmont home, each child has their own bedroom and bathroom, and there’s plenty of space for the nanny, the family assistant, and the house cleaner to tackle their own duties and activities in separate areas as needed. The fully-fenced backyard is accessed by large open doors that are right off of the main living areas. There is also a small patio for sitting, and the front yard is partially fenced with a paved parking area where the children can ride bikes or scooters with supervision.
This family requires that nanny is up to date on vaccinations, including COVID-19. Following CDC recommendations regarding vaccine booster shots is also required.

This family of 4–mom, dad, big brother, and little sister–is utterly delightful! Happy, friendly, sociable, and warm, they are looking for an experienced, Spanish-speaking family assistant with a joyful, upbeat personality and a kind and gentle childcare approach. Candidates should have experience with preschool and elementary-aged children, at least one year of experience as a family assistant, and be bilingual in English and Spanish. Above all, this family is looking for someone who truly loves working with children!
Big brother is 6 years old and in first grade at a private school about 5 minutes from the home. He is an outgoing goofball who loves to make people laugh! His favorite home activity is building Lego kits, but he’s also involved in many extracurriculars, including basketball, tennis, and gymnastics. Little sister is 4 and goes to preschool 15 minutes away from the home. She is also quite outgoing and very sweet. She enjoys unicorns, Hot Wheels, and baby dolls, and she is quite content to play independently. She takes gymnastics classes at the same time as big brother, weekly on Wednesdays. Little sister is picked up from school at 3 PM daily and big brother is picked up between 4 and 4:30 PM daily. Family assistant will be responsible for school pick-ups as well as driving the children to any afterschool activities during the week. Both children shower daily as soon as they arrive home. Big brother does this independently and little sister does this mostly independently but family assistant should be comfortable helping her wash her hair.
Both children are easy-going and adventurous! Family assistant should be creative in coming up with fun activities and enthusiastic about engaging with the kids. The ability to set boundaries and be consistent is important but these children thrive when structure is balanced with plenty of empathy and affection. The ideal candidate has a proactive discipline style, anticipating challenges and partnering with the children to navigate them rather than reacting negatively to challenging behavior after it arises. Fostering healthy socio-emotional development is paramount! Family assistant should support the children as they continue to learn to self-regulate, helping them identify their emotions, and validating and talking through feelings and experiences.
While the children are home, the role is very child-focused, but in the earlier portion of the day while the children are at school, family assistant will have plenty of time to tackle household duties. Cooking is required for this position. Family assistant will be expected to prepare nightly dinners for the family. This family has a whole food diet and is content with simple, healthy meals (eg. chicken, rice, and vegetables). They prefer that family assistant also take on meal-planning, but mom is open to taking on or pitching in with this duty.
Other responsibilities include washing, folding, and putting away family laundry, packing school lunches, errands (eg. dropping off dry cleaning, making a return, or putting gas in the nanny vehicle), groceries and other shopping, tidying and vacuuming common areas as needed, and tidying and organizing the children’s bedrooms and play area. Family assistant should be a self-starter and a team player, able to identify needs and pitch in to keep the home running smoothly. Excellent communication skills and the willingness and ability to follow directions are required for this position.
An unpaid, 30-minute meal/rest period is worked into the schedule to be taken before the children are out of school. Family assistant is welcome to take this break on or off-site.
Mom is in finance and works from home 2 days per week and outside of the home 3 days per week. Dad is in tech and works from home 3-5 days per week. Dad has a dedicated home office right off of the playroom, but he utilizes noise-canceling headphones, so the children playing does not disrupt him. Big brother’s bed is in the same room that mom uses as her home office, but he is completely content to play in the playroom and his toys and other belongings are in that room or little sister’s room.
The ranch style Oakmore home is all on one level and is full of vaulted ceilings and enormous windows. Off the entrance of the home is a living room which opens up to a great room with a dining table and a fabulous playroom. In the playroom, there are built-in cabinets full of art supplies, toys, and games, as well as trains, a play kitchen, a Lego table, and a bookshelf. Dad’s office as well as the laundry room and garage are all off of the playroom. Opposite the great room is an enclosed kitchen with a breakfast nook and past the kitchen are the three bedrooms–the primary bedroom, little sister’s bedroom, and mom’s office/big brother’s sleeping room. The home boasts an enormous yard, nearly an acre! There are plenty of mature trees for shade, paver patios in both the front and back yard, and lots of open, grassy space for running around and digging in the mud. This family is planning a large-scale remodel to begin in the spring, during which they will temporarily relocate to a rental home. They plan to remain in Oakland near the children’s schools throughout the remodel.
A vehicle will be provided for use on the job. There is ample driveway parking for family assistant’s vehicle during the day.
This family requires that nanny is up to date on vaccinations, including COVID-19. Following CDC recommendations regarding vaccine booster shots is also required.

Fun and Loving Nanny for Precocious 4-Year Old Girl
Base Schedule

- 7 AM-4 PM Tuesdays & Fridays
- 8 AM-4 PM Wednesdays & Fridays
- 42.5 hours, including 2.5 hours of overtime pay, per week
This lovely family of 3 is seeking a kind and engaging nanny for their super charming 4-year old daughter. She loves learning, reading Bob books, drawing, doing puzzles, and dress-up. She is quite friendly and quick to warm to new people. She attends a cooperative preschool 3 mornings per week from 9 AM until 11:30 AM. Nanny will be responsible for preschool drop-offs and pick-ups and during preschool hours, nanny will be expected to help with child-related tidying and organizing projects, child laundry, and preparing her meals and snacks.
Little one is quite eager to meet and have fun with her new nanny! Regular adventures to parks and playgrounds, museums, zoos, and other child-friendly attractions are encouraged! The home is a short drive from two parks, Rancho Laguna and Moraga Commons and she especially enjoys singing and dancing on the stage at Moraga Commons! This little one has mostly been cared for by mom until this point. It’s very important that candidates understand that this will be a big transition for her, which may (or may not!) come with some big feelings. Candidates should be empathetic and gentle and have a creative and lively spirit. Coming up with plenty of ideas to keep her busy in and outside of the home may help the initial period of adjustment go smoothly.
Mom is an executive assistant and works from home Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in a dedicated home office. She works in-person at her office in San Francisco on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Dad is in construction and works outside of the home full-time. Because the preschool little one attends is cooperative, two to three times per month, mom goes to school with her to work in the classroom. On days in which mom is working from home, her vehicle is available for use on the job. On Tuesdays and Thursdays when she works in-person, nanny will be expected to use their own vehicle with mileage reimbursement. In the summer months between Memorial Day and Labor Day, mom’s workday ends early on Fridays and nanny may also end some of these Fridays as early as 1 PM. During these months, 40 hours per week will be guaranteed.
This family has one sweet 9-month old puppy, a hypoallergic Portuguese water dog. Candidates should enjoy being around dogs. No pet care is required, but walking the dog is encouraged if this is something nanny would enjoy!
The bright and spacious home is on three levels. At the lowest level of the home is the entrance with a foyer opening directly to a large, traditional kitchen with a step down into the living room. Off of the foyer is mom’s home office space. French doors from nearly every room lead to an enormous backyard with an outdoor kitchen and dining area, a pool, and a grassy area and swing set. Swimming is not required on the job, but nanny should have basic swimming skills for safety purposes. Back inside, the second floor of the home is where the primary bedroom, guest bedroom, and little one’s bedroom with built-in shelves and a desk is located. The garage entrance to the home is on this level. On the third level is a fabulous playroom full of toys, books, a kid-sized table and chairs, and a play tent.
Vaccines are not required for this position.

These friendly, professional parents are urgently seeking an enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and dependable nanny for their two school-aged children in Noe Valley. Big sister recently turned 7 and attends first grade at a local private school. She loves reading and writing, drawing, and sports. Her favorite subjects in school are art and P.E. and she currently plays soccer on a team and takes piano lessons at home. Little brother is 5 and attends full-day preschool. He has quite an adored collection of stuffed animals! He also enjoys cars, Legos, writing, drawing, and sports, and he, too, plays on a soccer team.
Both children are outgoing, intelligent, and get along with each other well. The ideal candidate balances warmth, enthusiasm, and a passion for working with children with a deep understanding of child development. A background in early childhood and/or elementary education is preferred but not required. Candidates should have a positive discipline approach and an understanding of gentle and practical conflict resolution for rare instances of sibling rivalry. Strong communication skills are of the utmost importance. Nanny should be open, direct, and receptive to feedback. Also important is the ability to plan and facilitate playdates.
Nanny should be comfortable with city driving and have an impeccable driving record. A vehicle will be provided for use on the job. Daily school pick-ups and school drop-offs on mornings nanny is working, as well as transportation to and from afterschool activities is required. Big sister starts school at 8 AM and is picked up at 3:15 PM Monday-Thursday and 2:15 PM on Fridays. Little brother starts school at 8:30 AM and is picked up at 2 PM daily.
Child-focused household duties include preparing meals and snacks for the children, packing little brother’s school lunch, organizing toys and clothes, restocking art supplies, packing up outgrown items for donation, and packing an afterschool bag before pickup as needed for afterschool activities. There are some light family assistant duties as well, including family laundry, putting away grocery deliveries, making small grocery runs, for example, for fresh produce as needed, occasional errands, and basic ingredient preparation like chopping vegetables or marinating meat for family dinners. These duties should take up less than 20% of nanny’s work hours, so overtime is calculated based on personal attendant law (after 9 hours in a day or 40 hours in a week) and an unpaid meal break is not required.
Mom works in the South Peninsula area four days per week and from home every Friday. Dad works from home in a dedicated home office space daily. Because mom has a significant commute on the days she works in-person, it is imperative that candidates have a track record of punctuality and dependability.
The immaculately tidy and organized Noe Valley home is on three levels. The main entrance is on the second level and opens up to a large foyer opposite dad’s office. Down the hall is the modern kitchen with a large island with plenty of room for art projects. Next to the kitchen is an open space with a rug and kids’ tent for play and a sliding glass door leading to a large deck area. Just off of the kitchen is the laundry room and a spacious pantry that doubles as an art supply closet. The bedrooms, including a spare room with an indoor rock climbing wall, are on the third level of the home, and on the first floor, there is a family room with a large table for art or Lego projects, a keyboard for big sister’s piano lessons, and a guest room. There is another sliding glass door on this floor, which leads to a backyard with a small patio that steps down to a medium-sized turfed area.
This family requires that nanny is up to date on vaccinations, including COVID-19. Following CDC recommendations regarding vaccine booster shots is also required.

Part-Time Nanny-Family Assistant for Intellectual Family of 4
Preferred Base Schedule:
- Monday-Friday
- 4 PM-9 PM
- 25 hours per week
Alternative Options & Additional Hours:
- Option for 7 or 8 PM end time
- Option for as few as 3 work days per week, candidate’s choice of days
- Option for additional hours on weekends, any 4-hour block between 12 PM and 8 PM Saturday and/or Sunday
- Option for rare date nights in the future
This polite, educated family is seeking a part-time family assistant whose primary duties include pitching in with dinner clean-up, children’s and household laundry (linens), and occasional errands and grocery shopping, as well as light childcare.
This family has two infants, a 10-month old daughter and an adopted 3 ½-month old daughter. Both parents will be present for nearly all of the time in which family assistant is working. A full-time nanny already provides daytime care for big sister, so the idea is that mom and dad will take the lead on evening childcare and utilize some of the time family assistant is present for one-on-one time with big sister while family assistant helps with little sister’s evening bottle feeds and bedtime. Family assistant should be comfortable interacting and engaging with the whole family.
It is required that candidates have some experience with young infants, but extensive infant experience is not mandatory. However, candidates with a background or genuine interest in early childhood education and child development are certain to stand out to this cultured family. It is of utmost importance to these parents that their children are provided with the best foundation for cognitive, speech and language, and motor skill growth and development. A friendly, enthusiastic personality and a mindful, interactive caregiving style will align best with this family’s own childcare philosophies. This family also truly values exposing their children to different cultures, and especially languages. Both parents speak English, but mom also speaks Mandarin and Spanish, and uses Mandarin when talking to the babies. They want to raise their children to be multilingual, and though a second language is not a requirement, a bilingual family assistant would be a bonus!
In the time between feedings and prior to bath/bedtime, family assistant should plan to focus on household duties. Responsibilities include tidying up the kitchen and dining table after dinner, running occasional errands including grocery shopping, and washing, folding, and putting away laundry. Driving with the children is not required, but a vehicle will be provided for errands and grocery shopping on the job.
Dad is a business owner and primarily works from home in a separate office, but does also take meetings outside of the home periodically. Mom works part-time, from home, for a non-profit. She is a big animal lover and advocate, and this family does have two gentle dogs–a 2-year old Goldendoodle and a 13-year old toy poodle. Nanny should be comfortable with dogs, but pet care is not required, and the dogs spend the majority of their day outdoors on the shaded patio, or indoors napping.
Their spacious and modern, inviting home is located in South Berkeley, bordering the Oakland Hills. It’s full of enormous windows with amazing views of the hills and the Golden Gate Bridge and patio access from every level. The main floor is very open, with a big kitchen, living area with a beautiful piano and cello and a play area for the babies, and a library that doubles as dad’s office. The upper level of the home is where all of the bedrooms are located, including the babies’ nurseries. On the lower level of the home, there is another living area with a kitchenette and more play space for the babies, a laundry room, and guest bedroom. There are two grassy areas in the yard, which is full of fruit trees and raised garden beds, and there are multiple fenced patios where activities like water and sand play can take place in the future. There is also a big, enclosed and paved driveway perfect for scooters and bicycles as the girls grow!
The schedule is very flexible, allowing the right candidate to choose days and hours which work well around other employment or commitments. It is important to note that this family is very COVID-cautious, however, and preference will be given to candidates who have more limited exposure to large groups of people. This family requires that nanny is up to date on vaccinations, including COVID-19. Following CDC recommendations regarding vaccine booster shots is also required.

- 40 hours per week
Alternative Options & Additional Hours:

This kind and easy-going family of 4 is in search of a dedicated, reliable, and lively nanny for their two children, a happy-go-lucky son who will turn 4 in January and a sociable, inquisitive daughter who will be 7 in December. The whole family is delightful–outgoing, generous, and fun! They are seeking a candidate who is warm and loving, passionate about child development, and loyal.
Little brother always has a smile on his face. He is very energetic and has lots of friends he likes to play with at the park, so it’s important that nanny be comfortable with regular playdates and lots of outdoor time. Indoors, building with MagnaTiles and making marble runs are some of his favorite activities. As with most preschool-aged children, little brother is at a stage of socio-emotional development in which boundary-testing can be a challenge. The ideal candidate is patient but firm, utilizing gentle, age-appropriate discipline techniques like redirection. Big sister is loquacious and welcoming. She is also very social and has lots of friends. She is involved in various sports and extracurriculars (she’s about to start basketball) throughout the year and she’s learning to play piano. Both children love science projects, cooking, swimming and gardening in the backyard, and any craft project involving cutting and gluing, so nanny should also enjoy participating in these activities.
Big sister is in first grade and goes to school five minutes from the home. Pickup is before 3 PM Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays and before 2 PM Wednesdays. Little brother is in preschool about 10 minutes from the home 4 days per week and pickup is at noon. He does not have preschool on Thursdays.
While this family’s preferred schedule includes some work hours while both children are at school, this position is very child-focused. Tasks during school hours are child-related and include the children’s laundry, tidying and organizing the play areas and kids’ bedrooms, and preparing meals for the kids. Occasionally, nanny may be asked to put away deliveries (packages and/or groceries) and, on rare occasions, let a handyman or other worker in for scheduled maintenance. The idea is for nanny to have separate time to complete these tasks so that while the children are home, there is ample time for engagement and adventuring! This family strongly desires a nanny who is enthusiastic about planning fun activities and staying busy with the kids. During the school year, playdates and outdoor time should be part of the regular routine and when school is out, outings to places like zoos, museums, new playgrounds and play spaces, and more are encouraged several times a week. Nanny should be comfortable using their own vehicle on the job with mileage reimbursement.
Mom is in interior design and has a very flexible work schedule. Dad is in finance and works from home full-time but also travels for work about 20% of the time. Candidates must be able to pick up little brother from school by noon Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and work from 9 AM-5 PM on Thursdays when little brother is home, but the rest of the schedule can be adjusted for the right candidate, and this family is open to as little as 32 hours per week if nanny desires fewer hours. The most important thing is that nanny is dependable and committed to whatever schedule is set.
The contemporary Lafayette home is lovely and bright. There is a porch swing on the front porch and to one side of the entryway is a formal dining room, with a formal living room to the opposite side. Off the living room is the main living space where the spacious kitchen opens up to a dining table and family room with french doors leading to the backyard. Off of the family room is a dedicated playroom with a large craft table, a music corner with a digital piano and other instruments, and a daybed for seating. Down the hall from the playroom is the laundry room, the children’s bedrooms separated by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, and dad’s office at the very end of the hall. There is a beautiful, expansive backyard with a swimming pool, pergola, fruit and vegetable garden, play set, and plenty of lawn space.
This family has no pets.

- M-Th: 8 AM-5 PM
- Friday: 8 AM-12 PM
- 40 hours per week
- Possible share care 3 days per week — hourly rate will increase during share hours.
These sweet and relaxed first-time parents are seeking an experienced nanny who absolutely loves what they do! They have one cheerful daughter who will be 7 months old at the start of the position. She’s truly easy-going and sleeps and eats well. She is breastfed but takes a bottle and is just starting solids. Nanny should be comfortable making baby food. She currently takes two shorter naps and one long nap in her crib daily. She is not on a rigid sleep schedule because she has a natural sleep pattern that she does very well with.
During awake hours, baby loves being on the floor playing with her activity mat and rolling around and she thoroughly enjoys being read to. The Very Hungry Caterpillar is always certain to grab her attention! She is used to a lot of face-to-face interaction, so nanny should be very engaging and enthusiastic about spending time with her and supporting her growth and development. She is also used to, and enjoys, being worn in a baby carrier for walks around the neighborhood. Driving is not a requirement for the position, but once trust is established, if nanny wishes to take baby to activities that are not within walking distance, a vehicle will be available for use on the job occasionally or nanny can use their own vehicle with mileage reimbursement.
It is important that candidates are open to the possibility of caring for a second infant part-time, as this family is considering establishing a share arrangement with a neighboring family whose child is a few months older than their own. Should the share come to fruition, it would take place 3 days per week within nanny’s existing work hours, and a commensurate pay raise for share hours would be initiated. The dedicated base range of $35-38 per hour is the rate offered for non-share hours, determined based on experience. For share hours, nanny will receive their regular base rate plus additional hourly pay for the second child. The specific share rate is to be determined.
Mom and dad are both scientists. Currently, each parent works from home (separately) one day per week, and it is possible that dad will begin working from home one additional day per week. There is a dedicated home office space for days in which they are home, and both parents are incredibly kind, laid back, and easy to get along with. This family also has two beloved indoor cats. Candidates must be comfortable with the cats and the ideal candidate is a cat lover! While pet care is not required, these pets are very much a part of the family.
The Oakmore home is lovely and full of natural light. While it is on three levels, the main floor and upper floor are separated by only a few stairs, similarly to a split-level home. The main floor consists of the living room and open kitchen, and this is where baby’s play mat is located. A lot of time is typically spent in this space. The bedrooms and office are located on the upper level of the home. There is a flight of stairs leading to the front door which opens up to the main floor, and the garage containing the stroller is located at street level. Candidates must be comfortable carrying baby up and down the stairs. The yard is tiered with an upper and lower deck, which will be good spaces for a future water or sand table or outdoor meal. There is no lawn, but the neighborhood is quiet and residential, so it is also safe to play on the sidewalk or in the driveway. The home is about a 15-minute walk from Dimond Park and a walking trail.
This home is equipped with security cameras outdoors as well as a camera “cat monitor” in the living room and a camera baby monitor in the nursery.
This family requires that nanny is up to date on vaccinations, including COVID-19. Following CDC recommendations regarding vaccine booster shots is also required.

Loving, Cooperative Nanny for 3-Month Old & Siblings
Base Schedule:
- Monday-Friday
- 8 AM-5 PM Monday-Thursday
- 8 AM-4 PM Friday
- 44 hours per week
An experienced baby nanny is needed to begin with this generous, conscientious family of 5 in January. Baby sister will be 3 months old at the start of the position, so candidates must be familiar with infant care, growth, and development. Nanny is ideally open to a minimum of a 2-year commitment, and will therefore be responsible for supporting baby through many milestones and transitions.
Baby sister has a mellow temperament and eats and sleeps well so far. She is breastfed and nanny will bring baby to mom for most feedings, but should also be comfortable handling expressed breastmilk for bottle feeds as needed. Eventually, nanny will be expected to prepare baby food and support the transition to solids. This family is also looking for a nanny who is comfortable assisting with sleep training, specifically, implementing a nap routine and helping baby learn to self-soothe and fall asleep in her crib. Stimulating, developmentally-appropriate engagement is also paramount. Nanny should enjoy taking baby on walks and visits to the park, spending face-to-face time with her on the floor, reading and singing to her, and generally supporting her physical, intellectual, and socio-emotional growth.
Little brother, age 3, and big sister, age 5, attend full-day school programs. Nanny will be responsible for most daily drop-offs and pick-ups. Big sister goes to kindergarten very close to home, so she can be walked or driven to her program. She starts her day at 8:15 AM and needs to be picked up by 4:45 PM. Little brother goes to preschool a 15-minute drive from home and can be dropped off anytime between 8:30 and 9:30 AM. He needs to be picked up by 4:30 PM.
Rare care for all three children, in the case of school closures, will be required. They get along very well and are very happy-go-lucky kids. Big sister is already an incredible artist and loves to draw her favorite characters. She also enjoys playing with her baby doll (who she recently named after her new baby sister) and her toy dog which barks and walks just like a real dog. Little brother is energetic and social. His favorite things are wild animals, sea creatures, and anything related to construction! He looks up to big sister and they love to play together. They enjoy tag and hide and seek in the yard, puzzles, board games like Memory, Bingo, Sorry, and Uno, and the TV show “The Lion Guard.” They share a room and just got brand new bunk beds!
This family is looking for a nanny who has an “all hands on deck” approach and is comfortable identifying household needs and pitching in with tasks like unloading the dishwasher, washing, folding, and putting away children’s laundry (including washing and changing bedding), preparing school lunches, tidying the children’s bedrooms and play areas and any messes created throughout the day, organizing kids’ toys and clothes for donation and suggesting new toys, activities, and clothing as they grow, emptying the kitchen trash and diaper pail as needed, and running simple errands like taking the nanny vehicle, provided for use on the job, through a car wash or filling it up with gas.
While a two-year commitment is the minimum this family is seeking, the ideal candidate would be open to growing with the family for many years to come, eventually pivoting into a family assistant role once baby sister begins preschool. Strong communication skills are imperative, as this family values the ability to both give and receive feedback. They strongly desire a nanny who they can build a “third parent” partnership with, and are very mindful of the importance of providing a respectful and comfortable work environment.
Dad is a software engineer and works from home full-time, but travels for a week at a time quarterly. Mom has a demanding job in upper management and works from home 4 days per week and from the office once weekly. They previously lived in San Francisco, and moved to Lafayette in 2021. Both parents are very kind, considerate, and easy to talk to.
Their newly-built home is spacious, bright, airy, and all on one level! The entrance to the home opens up to a formal living and dining area, with mom’s office and the guest room/dad’s office off the left of the living room. Past the guest room is a hallway which leads to baby sister’s nursery, which attaches to a jack-and-jill bathroom leading to the bedroom big sister and little brother share. Off the right side of the living room is the kitchen with a dining nook which opens to a family room, and tucked behind the family room is a hallway leading to the primary bedroom. The home is nicely spread out in a U-shaped floor plan, which allows nanny plenty of space to move about freely with baby without disrupting mom and dad’s work.
The backyard is under construction, but once complete, there will be a lawn area, sandbox, play structure, and stone patio with outdoor dining furniture. This family has a pool with a childproof cover. The ideal candidate is comfortable swimming with the children, but this is not a requirement.
This family has no pets.
This family requires that nanny is up to date on vaccinations, including COVID-19. Following CDC recommendations regarding vaccine booster shots is also required.
