Job description
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.
