Our wonderful client family has two elementary school aged children and their Nanny will be leaving in mid-June. They are seeking a warm, engaging, high-energy Full-Time Nanny who genuinely loves school-aged children and can become a true partner to this creative, kind family during an evolving chapter.

The parents are currently navigating a divorce, and while custody arrangements are still being finalized, the plan is for both parents to share one exceptional Nanny. Mom will be spending significant time in Europe, so the role will likely include international travel back and forth with the children, along with additional travel with Dad. Plans remain fluid, so flexibility is essential. We are looking for someone adaptable, collaborative, and able to comfortably navigate needs with grace.

Both children attend school full time, so while they are away, the role will shift into more of a family assistant capacity. Responsibilities may include:

• Managing household and family logistics
• Simple tidying and organization
• Running errands and marketing
• Coordinating schedules and appointments
• Home organization and general support

When the children are home, they are absolutely the priority. We are looking for a Nanny who is proactive, thoughtful, organized, and always thinking three steps ahead.

Ideal candidates will:
• Live on the East Side or nearby Pasadena
• Have strong experience with school-aged children
• Be upbeat, emotionally intelligent, and highly dependable
• Enjoy travel and flexibility
• Thrive in dynamic family environments
• Be seeking a long-term partnership role with a lovely family

Compensation includes hourly pay, mileage reimbursement, PTO, and a health stipend — all to be determined based on experience and overall fit.

If interested, please email help@thehelpcompany.com with your updated resume (if we do not already have it) along with your targeted hourly compensation.

This amazing family has welcomed their identical twin boys and looking for a night nanny or newborn care specialist to help them out! Seven nights a week, 9pm-6am or 7am. Ready to hire!

Mar Vista mom seeks a kind, capable temporary helper to support her family during recovery from a medical procedure beginning May 7th. This is a 3 to 3.5 week role caring for three children, ages 5, 8, and 10, in a warm and active household.

The schedule will run Monday through Thursday from 2:00pm to 7:00pm, with full-day support needed on Fridays. The children attend two different schools, both located within about ten minutes of the home.

You will be responsible for school pick-ups using the family car, and may occasionally participate in a carpool.

The role includes preparing dinner for the children, with flexibility around timing depending on the day’s activities. You will also assist with the children’s laundry, as Mom will be unable to handle heavy lifting during her recovery, and help maintain general tidiness throughout the home. While there is a housekeeper, light day-to-day upkeep is appreciated.

Compensation is currently $30 hour net, with flexibility up to $40 hour for the right candidate. Payment will be made via Zelle.

This is a wonderful opportunity for someone who is proactive, nurturing, and happy to step in and keep things running smoothly during a temporary period of need.

We are looking for a warm, proactive, and intuitive Mother’s Helper to join our family team as we navigate life with our 11-week-old identical twins.
This role is for someone who thrives as a ‘right-hand person.’ Mom is full-time at home and leads all baby care; we need a teammate who takes direction from her regarding the twins, while being completely proactive in keeping the household running smoothly.

The Priorities: 70% Family Support 30% Household
1. Supporting the ‘Lead’ (Mom to Twins)
Mom is the captain of baby care. You are her dedicated assistant:
• Tandem Nursing ‘Pit Crew’: Mom tandem breastfeeds throughout the day. You’ll proactively prep her station (pillows, water, organic snacks, pre-feed diaper changes) and assist with positioning the babies.
• Responsive Care: You’ll assist with diapering, soothing, and burping at Mom’s direction, ensuring she has the extra hands she needs exactly when she needs them.
• The WFH Bridge: Dad works from home and stays connected. You keep the household logistics (laundry, dishes, cooking) managed so that when Dad steps out of his office, he can focus on quality time with the twins and Mom.
2. Proactive Household Ownership
While you take direction on the babies, we want you to own the household engine without being asked:
• Healthy Organic Cooking: Prepare simple, nutrient-dense lunches and dinners for the parents.
• The ‘Baby Engine’: Handle baby laundry, sterilize bottles and pump parts for the evening, and ensure all diaper stations are cleaned, sorted and restocked.
• Clean-As-You-Go: Manage the dishes, kitchen tidying, and general organization of common areas.
3. The ‘Pup Partner’ (Supporting the First Baby)
Our dog is a central part of our family. We want to ensure he feels included and loved:
• Cuddles to Connection: Proactively provide the dog with extra affection and attention throughout the day.
• The Collaborative Walk Feed: You will always check in with Mom before feeding or walking the dog. If Mom needs a ‘brain break,’ she may want to take him for a walk while you watch the twins with Dad; you will join the afternoon walk (dog and twins pram to pup chariot).
The Witching Hour to The 7:00 PM ‘Success Set-Up’
The late afternoon (4 PM – 7 PM) is our ‘Witching Hour.’ Your goal is to lower the household ‘temperature’:
• Sensory Reset: Proactively dim lights and start white noise at 4:30 PM.
• Evening Prep: Before you leave at 7:00 PM, the 7:45 PM bottles are prepped, the parents’ dinner is plated, and the nursery is ‘Night Nanny Ready’ (for the 9 PM service).
• Date Night Potential: Eventually, as a rhythm is established, you may hold the fort for a quick 60–90 minute local dinner for Mom and Dad.

Requirements
• Communication: Excellent English (ideally first language) to ensure seamless, clear communication with Mom.
• Intuitive Mindset: Proactive with the house food, but respectful of Mom’s lead with the babies and the dog.
• Infant Experience: Deeply comfortable with newborns (multiples experience is a major plus).
• Dog Friendly: Genuinely loves dogs and is happy to follow the family’s lead on his care.

• Reliable: Valid driver’s license and car for errands and organic grocery runs.
