Part-Time Nanny/Family Assistant - La Jolla, CA
First time parents in La Jolla are seeking a long term, part time nanny for their 6 month old daughter who just started crawling! Mom is a stay at home mom who will be in and out of the house during the nanny’s shift. Their ideal nanny/family assistant is very experienced with infants and toddlers, has strong attention to detail, is comfortable with doing some meal prep for the family, and is pet friendly (they have a 60 lb german shepherd mix and 2 cats). They value good communication, honesty, and would like the nanny to be able to follow their lead as they find their parenting style over time. Baby is mostly doing contact naps currently so must be open to contact napping (parents do not plan to do any sort of sleep training at this point). They would love to find someone who can commit long term for several years. Bonus if you speak Mandarin!
