The family would love a nanny who enjoys cooking and will prepare meals for not only the children but for the family too. Someone who is an extremely safe swimmer and driver is a must, as the family does have a pool and driving will be necessary! Spanish-speaking nannies are encouraged to apply! Flexibility in your schedule will be highly important for this role.  Other duties would include keeping the kitchen neat and tidy, organizing the children’s bedrooms, keeping the playrooms clean at all times, and helping fill up the nanny vehicle with gas.

Job Synopsis: The schedule for this position will be Monday-Thursday from 12-8 pm and Friday only either 12-6 pm, 10 am-6 pm or 9:30 am until 5:30 pm. The family is flexible to optimize Friday hours for a guarantee of 40 hours per week.  Overnights would be very infrequent, but the family would like nannies that are open to traveling one week at a time. The rate is $30/hour gross with two weeks of paid vacation, sick days, paid holidays, and an end-of-the-year bonus. A nanny vehicle will be provided, however, the nanny will be required to have their own vehicle as a means of reliable transportation to and from the home.
