Great Mar Vista family is looking for a big sis to help wrangle the kids in 25 hours a week
Posted : 06/14/26
this busy famiily has two children – a 5 year old girlie girl starting Kinder in the fall and an 8 year old boy rising into 3rd grade. Both will be at Brentwood School.
Mom is the CEO of her own business in the entertainment industry so she knows how to be a great employer and do things by the book.
Mom works from home at their home in Mar Vista and needs someone who can manage the kids after school – ensure homework is done, keep them entertained, shuttle to and from activities, so she can work from home but also pop in for homework help, check-ins on return home from school and more. Dad works in Century City most days, though occasionally from home. Both parents like to be hands on with the kids but needs a nanny counterpart who can navigate this fluidity and be an authority figure to the kids, ideally leading and influence through great role modeling rather than tough love, but able to navigate all dynamics and developmentally-appropriate situations relevant at these ages. We’re hoping to find someone who the kids respect, adore and enjoy. Likewise, we’re hoping for a modern employee who is a third partner with respect to the kids – someone who is a great communicator, thinks a few steps ahead, is flexible and can adapt to the daily variables that come up, and more.
While the role is mostly hands-on with the kids, there will be some maintenance of kids toys, clothes and rooms (ideally with age-appropriate inclusion of getting the kids to maintain their own spaces in order to build good habits). No heavy cleaning, the family has a housekeeper coming 2 days per week. Some minor preparation of kids food – fruit, mac n cheese, etc. Would love someone who is also thought and helpful about expanding the kids palates – the 8 year old is just starting to enjoy exploring some more global dishes and cuisines, and the 5 year old needs thoughtful encouragement to eat more than just cheerios, apples and ketchup day-to-day. LOL
Depending on the right candidate, this role can also evolve into more of a house manager and personal assistant role. They are always willing to give more hours to someone who takes initiative, wants to help, enjoys their work and is a pleasure to have around.
They would like someone with at least two years experience including prior work with at least one other professional or entrepreneurial family with good references is expected. Candidate must demonstrate excellent communication, punctuality, availability and fit with the skills and traits required of this role. Family hopes for at least one day (but ideally a few days) paid trial to ensure mutual fit.
DOE $35-40 hour on payroll, annual bonus, milage reimbursement OR fully compensated gas on family credit card (up to $70 weekly), 8 days of employee-chosen PTO (including sick days) plus at least 10 days of employer chosen PTO annually, 20 hours per week minimum with opportunity for more hours. Monday to Friday 3pm-7pm weekly will be required, plus will need someone who can stay late at least 2 weeknights per week to cover date night, parents’ social calendars and or parents working late. We’d love someone who can also do some weekends and holiday hours with advance notice coordination well in advance. Opportunity for overtime and incentive pay as well.
