Job Description

Overview

A family in Sunnyvale, CA is seeking a career nanny for their 3 children who are in school full-time. This is a role for a nanny who is passionate about childcare and fostering their relationship with the children in their care with strong, warm connections more than having a specific degree or diploma. The children's ages are 3, 7, and 9-years-old. The schedule is Monday/Wednesday/Friday 2pm-8pm, Tuesday 2pm-10pm (staying later for date night, but they can choose another evening for date night if candidate prefers), and Thursday 11am-8pm (as school has early dismissal). Generally, the children are in school until 3:30pm. The weekly hours are 35, and they could adjust it a bit if the candidate is open to weekends or even longer days, it could become full-time for 40 hours/week. The nanny will generally have 6-8 weeks off annually when the family travels and the nanny will be paid regardless during this time. The job starts now.

Responsibilities

The idea is that before the children come from school around 3:30pm, the candidate to hire can do some light child-related stuff (throw in the laundry, prep some simple meals for them, maybe tidy up their rooms), and then focus on the children once they are home (maybe doing some of the laundry/meal prep in the background):

• Laundry for the children
• Light general upkeep and organization of the home (they have a weekly cleaning service)
• Cooking for the children; 1 child is more particular about what he eats, so it will often entail making 2 separate meals but it is simple things such as chicken nuggets and pasta
• Playing with the children
• Overseeing the children’s homework
• The older children walk to/from school and the youngest goes to school 10 minutes away so the family will provide a car for use for school pickup

Requirements

• There is a pool on site, so being comfortable with water is highly desired
• They may get a dog so must be comfortable with a dog
• Must be a licensed driver with a clean driving record
• Must be comfortable assisting/overseeing homework
• They typically do 3 shorter weeklong trips (Mexico, Hawaii, mountains) a year; ideally they'd love the nanny to join (ski break, Spring Break, Thanksgiving week)
• They travel to Europe twice a year, typically 4-5 weeks in July and 2-3 weeks for Christmas. They'd like the candidate to take their vacations during that time. But that also means they can be longer than usual, e.g. 3 weeks off in the summer and 2 weeks off in the winter

Salary and Benefits

• $55-60/hour
• Monthly healthcare stipend
• 6-8 weeks annually of PTO when family travels
• 5 paid sick days
• Some holidays off and paid (specific ones TBD)
• The family uses TEAMS for hiring
