Full-Time Nanny - Rancho Santa Fe, CA

Family in Rancho Santa Fe seeks a playful, organized, experienced nanny for their sweet 2 year old daughter! Mom is stay-at-home so the nanny must be comfortable working alongside her and taking direction, as well as being full charge when Mom is out of the house. Dad works from home as well. They are a very routine oriented family and like to stick to a schedule, Mom is very involved in planning activities for their daughter and structuring the day to day. This is a staffed household including a housekeeper, chef and a second nanny. Their ideal candidate is experienced with toddlers and preschoolers and loves to engage them in educational activities and imaginative play! They also prefer someone who can be a calm, peaceful presence in the home. Bonus if you have a degree in a child related field and/or if you speak Portuguese (Mom is a native Portuguese speaker). They are also very organized and tidy so their ideal nanny is naturally this way as well. A uniform is provided for this role (usually Figs scrubs) and they do not allow any perfumes or fragrances of any kind. They would love to have their nanny grow with their family for at least the next 3-5 years (would like to have a second child).

Girl 2 - She is bilingual in English and Portuguese and communicates very well for her age. She loves imaginative play and is eager to learn new things! She is very well behaved thus far and easy to redirect.

Pets in the home:

2 small dogs

Responsibilities:

Typical childcare duties such as feeding, dressing, nap time, and following her daily schedule. Engaging her in age appropriate developmental activities and imaginative play, teaching through play. Mom likes to do a short “learning time” each day with a craft or sensory activity, experience as a preschool teacher would be a plus. They have a nice backyard for outdoor play. Her meals are prepared by the chef, so mealtimes are easy with heating and serving pre-made meals, the nanny only needs to do simple snack prep such as cutting up fresh fruit. During her nap time, the nanny is expected to do household tasks related to the child such as her laundry, cleaning and organizing her toys and playroom, washing her dishes, etc. This is a VERY organized household where everything has a place, her laundry gets separated and some items get ironed, etc. so please only apply if this level of detail and organization is a good fit for you. No driving is required, the nanny will sometimes accompany Mom and daughter to appointments, fun outings, or play dates, but Mom will drive.
