Atherton, CA
About the Job
Overview:
A busy, loving family of 6 in Atherton, CA, is seeking a fun and reliable Saturday nanny. The schedule will be 9am to 8pm each Saturday. The family has four children ages 14, 8, 4, and 2.5. The oldest child (14) has a rare genetic disorder that affects her physical and mental abilities and requires extra care, including hygiene and diapering, a feeding tube, and various therapies. Mom and dad are often home and in the mix on the weekends, but the nanny will need to be keen to learn the ropes of her care and assist.
Responsibilities:- Job responsibilities for this role include care and engagement of the children with their unique needs. It is a team effort and the nanny should be comfortable rolling with the punches of what each day brings - this usually includes meal preparation, ensuring the children have what they need for activities and getting them there in coordination with parents, keeping their spaces clean and tidy, and generally being as helpful as possible.
- Three of the children are usually in bed by 7pm, so the last hour can be used for closing duties and preparing for the next day.
- They do not need someone who has experience with special needs, but rather hope to find a nanny who is enthusiastically open to the opportunity and is a fast learner.
- The family has a housekeeper 30 hours per week, so any housekeeping the nanny is doing is supplemental, and typically includes cleaning up after meals and throwing in unexpected laundry.
- The ideal candidate is very joyful, easy to be around, helpful, smart, proactive, organized, and can maintain authority well with positive reinforcement.
- There are many moving parts in this family and they'd like to find someone who can keep things steady and smooth.
- The people who have been most successful in the role have a true love for childcare and enjoy the work.
- You must have a valid driver's license and clean driving record and strong communication skills in English to be considered.
- The hourly rate range for this position is $40-$45 per hour.
