Job description

Engaging, Loving Nanny/Family Assistant Needed in Sunnyvale

A family in Sunnyvale is seeking an engaging, loving nanny/family assistant to help with household tasks and childcare for their three children (ages 3, 7 and 9 years old). Responsibilities include driving from school to extra-curriculars, providing homework help, planning fun projects or outings based on the children’s interests, running errands, preparing kid lunches and simple family dinners, light tidying and organization, and family laundry.

Their ideal candidate build rapport with the children and feels like part of the family. Someone playful who genuinely enjoys supporting the household will be the best fit.

The schedule would be 30 hours guaranted: Mon/Tues/Wed/Fri 3-8pm and Thurs 12-8pm + one evening per week (not Thurs) until 10p for date night. Adjusted rate for childcare only: $40-$45/hour
