We’re a busy family with one curious, fun and active six-year-old daughter looking for a proactive, flexible, and dependable family assistant childcare provider. We need approximately 50% family assistant support and 50% childcare. Day-to-day household management activities vary, but generally follow a weekly cadence and predictable schedule. Our daughter is in school full time – so childcare generally involves school pickups, after-school activities and play dates, moving through evening bath routine, and some meal preparation, as well as approximately one evening per week and the occasional weekend shift or overnight. We have a vacation home in Sonoma County where we spend most of our summers, and the family assistant will need to work with us there, too, and may very occasionally travel further afield with us (~once year or less).

We’re looking for someone who can commit to a regular weekly schedule during the school year, including one weekday evening, with flexibility for the occasional weekend or overnight and the ability to shift the schedule to accommodate planned events, some school break days, and summer. We have flexibility on our end, too. Someone proactive, who can plan, organize, and complete tasks without a ton of guidance and with a positive, can-do attitude. We are fun, easy going and respectful, and value the same things in others.

Responsibilities include:
Picking kiddo up from school to after-school activities (enrichments, play dates, playground nature time)
Planning home activities – creative projects, learning experiences.
Weekly meal planning; preparing child lunches and snacks, and sometimes prepping and or preparing simple vegetarian evening meals for the family
Stocking of groceries and household supplies
Household organizing, labeling, weeding out of outgrown clothing toys
Errands – mail, returns, pharmacy, dry cleaning, car maintenance, cat to the vet
Keeping the house tidy light and daily housekeeping (we have weekly cleaners)
Cat care, cat house sitting when we’re out of town
Kid laundry as needed
Hiring, scheduling and overseeing other household support – repairs and maintenance, services, and deliveries (in SF and Sonoma) and cleaner schedules
Research and shopping tasks for the household and child
Occasional travel planning and research

Requirements
You have your own car to clean driving record. We have a pool at our vacation home – swimming ability and current CPR certification are also needed. Our Daughter has a managed autoimmune condition but vaccinations and boosters for Covid Flu still needed.

We offer a competitive salary and PTO package up front, with healthcare stipend and annual bonus added along the way. We are seeking someone who can commit to being with us for at least two years; someone we can invest in who will grow with us!

Loving, flexible nanny needed for newborn twins in the Mission, this is truly a dream job for an amazing family!!!!
This family needs support during some days and some evenings, so they are looking for someone with a flexible schedule and willingness to work some nights and weekends. Their ideal starting schedule would be 830am-6pm on M W F and 12pm-9pm on T Th. The babies, a boy and a girl, were born in late September. They are happy and mellow three-month-olds. They keep their eating and sleeping schedules aligned for everyone’s sanity, so this nanny needs to help keep their routine and instill good eating sleeping habits in place as they grow. This family has two older kids (5 and 3 years old) and a wonderful nanny who has worked with them since their oldest was a few months old, and who will eventually take on morning care for the babies when their three year old starts school. For now, they need an extra set of hands to care for the babies, and to support them in the evenings. You will be a perfect nanny if you are warm, can instill structure and schedule, have at least three years of experience, including taking care of multiple newborns at once (either twins or in sharecare setting), passionate about early childhood development and again can be super flexible. You would be so lucky to work with this family so please reach out to me directly if you think you are a fit!
