A fun-loving family of 4 in Long Beach is looking for a new nanny to begin right away! Mom and Dad both work full time (Dad works from a home office.) The children are 9 years (boy) and nearly 7 years (girl, she is on the spectrum, but the presentation is mild and she is very social!) Mom is also due with their third baby in May! The family has a small dog, so comfort around animals is important (but the dog will not be part of the nanny’s responsibilities.)
Once the baby comes (May) and Mom returns to work (October), the position will shift to one that is mostly baby focused. Until the baby arrives, the family is still happy to offer full time hours in exchange for child related housework, child meal preparation and some family assistant duties such as errand running prior to handling after school pick-up and carpooling.
The schedule will be M-F 8am-5pm, and the pay being offered is $35 per hour with standard paid time off and a modest healthcare stipend. A long-term commitment would be the intention, two years ideally.
The requirements for this position are as follows: 10+ years of professional childcare experience (starting at the age of 18) with a solid amount of baby care experience, in-person cpr/fa certification, a clean criminal background, a clean driving record with a safe, reliable vehicle, and fluency in English. Please be legal to work in the US. Experience working with children on the spectrum would be helpful. Covid vaccination is preferred, and an annual flu shot and current tdap are needed. RSV vaccine would be great (if eligible.)
The ideal person for this position will be active and fun but also mature and professional. They would like someone who will engage with the children (an interest in sports would go a long way!) and eventually, the baby. They would like a proactive nanny with their own activities and routines, someone intuitive; a person who will take the lead with baby care once mom returns to work.
Occasional local travel will be part of this position.
If you believe you could be a great fit for this family, please send your professional childcare resume (in word or pdf format) to naysnannies@gmail.com with the subject “LB Nanny!”
Thank you!
