Our client is a warm, active family with three little boys, ages 2, 5, and almost 9, and weekends are becoming busy! The family is currently living in Brentwood and plans to return to the Palisades later this summer. They are looking for an extra set of hands on either Saturdays or Sundays to help keep the weekends running smoothly and allow Mom and Dad to spend more one-on-one time with each child.

Most of the time, you will be tag-teaming with the parents and primarily focused on the family’s energetic two-year-old. It is rare that you would be responsible for all three children at once. The boys are high-energy, active, and always on the move, so we’re looking for someone engaging, upbeat, and able to keep pace with a busy household.

This position is paid via payroll and offers a guaranteed minimum of 8 hours per week. The family is open to either Saturday or Sunday coverage, so if you are only available one of those days, please still reach out. Ideally, they would love someone who can offer flexibility between the two days when needed. They would also be thrilled to find someone available for the occasional weekday afternoon.

Hours will vary depending on the family’s schedule and activities. Some days may begin and end early, while others could run from the afternoon into the evening if the parents are heading out. The family is flexible and understanding and hopes to find someone who can offer flexibility in return.

Candidates should have experience with children ages 2 and up, an excellent background report, and glowing references.

Please email katie@thehelpcompany.com if interested.

Please be sure to include your availability and hourly compensation target when reaching out.

Thanks!

Wonderful Palisades family has three children ages 7, 5, and 6 months old. They currently employ two Nannies, one of whom is relocating out of state, and are now seeking an exceptional second Nanny and Family Assistant to join their team.

The Head Nanny works primarily with the baby from 6am–3pm. This new role will focus more heavily on the older children while also functioning as a true Family Assistant position.

Schedule:

Wednesday, 12:00-8:00pm and Thursday through Sunday, approximately 6:00am–2:00pm, with flexibility as needed. Weekend availability is absolutely required in the beginning. It’s possible that the two Nannies will split weekend responsibilities once the new Nanny is comfortable with all three children, allowing for two weekends off per month. They are open to providing part-time hours (27-30) if that’s the preference.

Primary responsibilities include:

• Morning routines and getting children ready for school
• School pick up and drop off
• Homework help and educational support
• Coordinating playdates and activities
• Cooking for the children
• Running errands
• Assisting with household inventory and coordinating with staff
• General family assistant support as needed

We are looking for someone proactive, collaborative, organized, and deeply comfortable working in a fully staffed home environment.

NON-NEGOTIABLE REQUIREMENTS:

• Must be able to swim
• Must have substantial experience with school-aged children
• Weekend availability (Wednesday–Sunday schedule) is required
• Strong educational background required; candidates with an Early Childhood Education background are especially encouraged to apply

The family would be thrilled to find a former preschool teacher or career nanny with a strong educational foundation!

Compensation is approximately $40 hour DOE, plus a health insurance stipend and standard paid time off. A nanny vehicle is provided for all on-the-job driving. If the nanny uses their personal vehicle for work-related driving, mileage will be reimbursed.

Please note that there are severe dog and cat allergies in the household. Candidates with significant daily exposure to pets may not be the best fit.

If you are an experienced, education-minded nanny family assistant who is excited about a Wednesday–Sunday schedule and long-term opportunity with a lovely family, we would love to hear from you!

An amazing and fun family in Los Feliz is looking for date night and weekend babysitting support for their 2-year-old twins and 5-year-old. This is on-call, occasional work.

We’re looking for candidates with experience caring for toddlers and older children, glowing references, and a clean background report. Twin experience is a plus, but not required—experience managing multiple children is key.

Help with light cooking and tidying once the kids are asleep would be appreciated.

If interested, please reach out with your general availability and hourly rate.

Thank you!

We’re working with a wonderful family located halfway up Malibu Canyon, between Calabasas and Malibu, who is looking to hire a Family Assistant. They have two daughters, ages 8 and 12, who are homeschooled. Their program includes outside math centers and enrichment activities, so there is a fair amount of driving involved, along with a real need for consistent day-to-day structure.

Dad has recently taken on a role in Canada for about a year, and Mom is preparing to launch her own wellness business focused on women. As a result, she’s finding that she truly needs a partner—someone who can support the girls’ daily rhythm and bring thoughtful structure to their home life.

They are a conscious, health-oriented household and value a holistic lifestyle. They are looking for someone they naturally align with who is grounded, mindful, and intentional in how they show up.

Travel flexibility is important, as they would love someone who can join them in Canada as needed, as well as on other trips throughout the year. The girls are relatively self-sufficient, but the role centers on providing high-level support to the home and children, including driving to activities, helping with meals, stocking the home, pet care, and so forth. Travel for up to three weeks at a time is a possibility, and assistance with travel planning would also be appreciated.

The family does not micromanage. They truly value someone who can take initiative, anticipate needs, and take ownership. The ideal candidate is warm, highly organized, proactive, and capable of holding structure while contributing to a calm, well-functioning environment.

There is flexibility around live-in vs. live-out. A private guest house is available for a live-in candidate, though a live-out arrangement works just as well.

Start date is flexible, ideally sometime in June.

Pay is $40–$45 hour DOE, plus a stipend for health insurance and paid time off.

Please reach out if you are interesting!
