Wonderful family of four who recently relocated to Santa Monica from Central Oregon is seeking a warm, reliable, and highly flexible part-time nanny for their two fun, outgoing, and curious girls, ages 7 and 9. Mom is a surgeon in Beverly Hills, and Dad works remotely but travels frequently for work. Dad’s travel averages approximately every other week for 2–3 nights at a time, although travel varies and there may occasionally be multiple busier weeks in a row. His travel schedule is generally known 4–6 weeks in advance.
During Week A, when Dad is home, the nanny will primarily provide after-school care approximately four afternoons per week. The family will guarantee 12 hours per week. Responsibilities include school pick-ups, driving the girls to activities such as gymnastics and Taekwondo, engaging with them, assisting with homework, preparing simple meals and snacks, and helping keep the afternoon routine running smoothly.
During Week B, when Dad is traveling, the family will guarantee approximately 25–30 hours. On Dad’s travel days, the nanny will typically work a split shift of approximately 6:00–8:30 AM, helping the girls get ready and driving them to school, then return around 3:00 PM for school pick-up and stay until Mom gets home, typically between 7:00–9:00 PM.
Hours average approximately 18 hours per week over the course of a typical month, with the potential for additional hours during heavier travel periods.
