A wonderful Santa Monica family is looking for a fun-loving, hands-on, playful nanny to join their crew! Mom is a busy, warm stay-at-home parent to two darling, energetic children: a curious 3.5-year-old and a sweet 16-month-old, and she’s hoping to find a true partner-in-parenting and all-around playmate for the kids.

This is not a sit-on-the-sidelines role. This job is about getting down on the floor, jumping into imaginative play, crafting, baking, reading stacks of books, and making each day feel like camp.

The schedule is Monday–Friday, 8:30am–4:30pm and each day is a little different in the best way! Some days you will be with the older child while Mom is with the toddler and other days, you’ll switch it up! Duties include pre-school drop-offs and pick-ups, crafts, baking projects, outdoor adventures, nap routines and lots and lots of hands-on play!

The ideal Nanny is college educated, has a clean driving record, excellent references and truly loves playing, reading and engaging children. A background as a preschool teacher would be a huge plus! Hopefully you are open to traveling 2-3 times a year for up to a week.

Compensation is $35 hour, DOE plus a $200 month health insurance stipend and paid time off.

If you are looking for a role where you get to play all day, be appreciated, and work with an amazing family, this could be your perfect match!!!!

This is a tricky one!! Mom has a show in NYC and has to leave every other week, dad has a show that often has a call at 6:30 AM. Sooooo, every other week you might need to get to the house to make breakfast and wake the 7 year old for shcool. They are looking for a “big sister” – someone who can engage at her level, help w homework and just be a good companion. While she is at schcol, you would be handling her clothing, her errands, buying gifts, marketing etc. You must have a good driving record and verifiable references. This could be a wonderful job if you live fairly close to West Hollywood and like 7 year olds that are sophisticated and smart! Must be computer savvy, keep a good calendar, and be an early riser!!

Both mom and dad are running companies and are looking for someone they can trust to run their life and their kids while they work. Mom even travels a lot so we need someone so responsible. First of all the kids (6 and 8 year old) are very “sporty spice” and need someone to shuttle them about after school, and keep them occupied and organized! The kids have a high EQ- would love someone that also understands that! The family is looking for someone with initiative and warmth and creativity
Schedule would be something like this: 11:30 and 7:30 with some flexibility.
From 11:30-2:30
You would be managing the house,
helping with organization,
handle the kids clothing (even sorting or getting rid of what they grow out of)
gifting
calendar
handle vendors

From 2:30 on
the kids go to different activities
oversee play dates
engage the kids and find some creative things to do
prepare dinner

Because mom travels a lot, it is important that you are very communicative, that you have a good driving record, and that you are a self starter!
Please let us know if you are interested!
This is a wonderful and fun family that travels a lot and will pay you while they are away.
They do have a wonderful older labradoodle!

Our clients are a warm, thoughtful family in Brentwood seeking an experienced, grounded nanny for their two children: a sparkly 2.5-year-old girl who truly wakes up dancing, and a sweet 6-month-old baby boy. The household also includes one beloved fur baby—a hypoallergenic Labradoodle.

Mom is currently taking time off from work, Dad often works from home, and there is a very involved extended family. This is a wonderful role for a nanny who enjoys tag-teaming with parents and family while also feeling confident working independently.

The family is hoping to find a nanny who prioritizes safety, calm, and emotional steadiness—rather than anxiety or strict discipline. They are relaxed, respectful parents who encourage their children to explore the world, and they are seeking a nanny whose energy and caregiving philosophy aligns with that approach.

The family has a second home in Ojai and would love a nanny who is open to traveling there (and potentially to other locations) with advance notice. Overnight travel would be compensated accordingly.

Mom and Dad are both employment attorneys and are extremely thoughtful and compliant employers.

Position Details:

• Competitive hourly pay, commensurate with experience
• Paid time off
• Health insurance stipend
• Guaranteed 30–35 hours per week to start with opportunity for additional hours, including occasional weekends if desired
• Beginning in early May (once the newborn care specialist transitions out), the role will increase to a minimum of 40 hours per week

Please note: This is a fragrance-free home. Due to sensitivities, the nanny must be willing to use fragrance-free laundry detergent and come to work fragrance-free.

This is a truly lovely opportunity for a nanny seeking a respectful, collaborative, and emotionally healthy household.
