First-time hands-on parents in Santa Monica are seeking a wonderfully developmentally-minded full-time live-out nanny for their newborn son born late November 2024. The schedule will be Monday through Friday 8am-4pm. The Father works from home and the Mother works in an office outside of the home. The role begins March 8th or 9th as the Mother goes back to work the following week and will want to train the nanny the week prior.
