Job description

Overview

A private family in Atherton is seeking an exceptional full-time, live-out night nanny to join their fully staffed household. This long-term opportunity is ideal for a highly experienced childcare professional who is nurturing, polished, flexible, and passionate about child development. The ideal candidate will be Montessori trained, fluent in English and at least one additional language (Spanish, French, Italian, or German - all languages spoken in the home), and bring either/or professional childcare expertise or personal parenting experience, if applicable. The nanny will care for two homeschooled children, ages 3 and 9, while working collaboratively with the family's existing childcare team, which includes two other nannies. This is a fully staffed household, and the schedule will likely be 6pm-6am or 7pm-7am.

This role will be a combination of both sleep and awake care, e.g. candidates will be responsible for getting bottles and diaper bags ready for the next day, as well as light tidying up, though the priority would be to keep the youngest company while they sleep.

This position is best suited for an experienced career nanny who values education, structure, language immersion, and child development. The family places a strong emphasis on Montessori philosophy and multilingual learning, making these qualifications essential to the role.

• Warm, professional, discreet, and emotionally intelligent
• Highly flexible with scheduling
• Comfortable working within a fully staffed household
• Valid driver's license and clean driving record (driving is required, although transporting the children anywhere is not expected)

Household:
