Overview

A family in Lafayette, CA is seeking a wonderful nanny for their two children ages 8-years-old and 2-years-old. Lafayette is a 20 minute train or 25 minute car ride away from San Francisco. The role can be live-out or live-in (with separate housing on property from the family's home). The schedule is more part-time at 27.5 hours a week, but they can bring in family assistant duties during the day when the children are in school to bring the hours up to 30-35 a week. The schedule is Monday through Friday from 7am-9am and then 2:30pm-5pm (27.5 hours a week) but again, having the nanny do family assistant duties when the children are in school during the day would be helpful and bring the hours up to 30-35. There will be later evenings at times as well if the parents have an evening meeting or something comes up so being flexible is needed for this role. The morning hours are focused on getting the children ready and off to school and the afternoon hours are school pick-up and taking to/from activities. The 2-year-old is in preschool until 5pm so the after-school care is mainly for the 8-year-old. Both parents work full-time and mostly out of the house all day during the day. They are open to a candidate relocating from another state for this role.
