Job description

Are you a kind nanny looking for your next wonderful position in Santa Monica? Do you enjoy partnering with hands-on parents and thrive in a gentle, child-centered environment? Are you excited to cultivate a lasting relationship with a family grounded in love and authentic connection? If you're thinking, "This sounds like a dream!" we would love to hear from you!

Family Syllabus

A warm, holistic family of five in Santa Monica is seeking a full-time, flexible nanny to join their team. The family has three children, ages 7, 5, and 2. The two older children attend school nearby, while the youngest spends the day at home. Mom is very hands-on and values collaboration and communication with a nanny who feels aligned with the family's parenting approach and rhythm of the home. The family spends summers in the UK, so candidates must be passport-ready and excited about the opportunity to travel internationally.

Ideal Candidate

Calling all nannies who truly value child-centered care! This connected family is seeking a calm, kind, and warm professional who will bring a positive presence to the day's flow. The ideal candidate has experience supporting gentle parenting and enjoys working collaboratively with engaged parents. Please be ready to approach each day with wonder, warmth, and a calm, genuine presence. An active and adventurous spirit is a must. The family would love a nanny who enjoys getting out and about with the children, exploring, and creating enriching experiences.

The family has a pool and lives in sunny Santa Monica, so strong swimming skills and confidence with water safety are essential. While it is not mandatory, a nanny with prior Waldorf experience would be a huge bonus.

Job Synopsis

The primary responsibilities will focus on supporting the children throughout the day! From school drop-offs for the older two children, to engaging and staying active with the toddler, to pitching in around the home to keep the family organized and balanced, no task is too big or too small. The family has a housekeeper, so the nanny will be responsible for all things child-related: prepping healthy, organic meals and snacks, organizing the children's areas and keeping them tidy, transitioning the children's wardrobes, and partnering with the mom to keep everything running smoothly! The schedule for this position is Monday through Friday, between 9:30 am and 7:30 pm, with a guarantee of 45 hours per week. Flexibility to support this family is key. The family travels both domestically and internationally, including extended summer stays in the UK for up to three months. Candidates should have prior travel-nanny experience and be comfortable being away from home for up to two months at a time. The rate for this position is $50/hour gross, with 2 weeks paid vacation, 5 paid sick days per year, and holidays, as well as a monthly medical stipend of $250. Christmas Day will be off, but please be able to work most holidays, as it will be based on the family's touring schedule. The family will provide a nanny vehicle while the nanny is working. They would prefer to hire locally and are open to relocation for the right candidate. If you’re a thoughtful, adventurous nanny who values collaboration and child-centered care, this could be a truly special role. We look forward to connecting with you!
