Family of 3, soon to be 4, located in Brentwood (with a planned return to the Palisades in summer 2027), is seeking a full-time, long-term nanny beginning mid-August. They have a 4-year-old daughter who is in school until 2:30 daily, and are expecting a new baby in mid-October.

This role will initially be more flexible and centered on household and newborn preparation, including organizing and setting up the nursery, washing and preparing baby items, running errands, assisting with toddler meal prep, supporting general household readiness for the new baby, and spending intentional, quality time building a relationship with their toddler ahead of the baby’s arrival. Once the baby arrives, the position will transition into a more structured childcare-focused schedule primarily focused on the baby, and both children (after school hours) both children, along with light child-related household tasks, child meal prep, and daily routine support.
