AC253 - ROTA Nanny - Atherton, CA

Overview

A wonderful, loving family in Atherton, CA, is seeking a rotational nanny to join their team, caring for their three-year-old toddler and eventually their baby as well, who is currently 6 months old. They currently have an NCS until April 2027. NCS may be extended. The nannies will work on a 14-day rotation, with flexibility needed for longer travel during the holidays and over the summer. The travel schedule can change last-minute, so the family needs a nanny who can roll with the punches.  The position will be live-out while on duty until at least April 2027 and then become live-in during the shift (when NCS leaves). The general schedule for the live-out period will be 6/6:30 am to 7/7:30 pm. The parents hope to find a career nanny who can engage their child in developmentally appropriate and educational activities. Local candidates are preferred; however, the family is willing to fly in/out the right candidate. Local accommodations while working live-out shifts will be provided for out-of-town candidates.
