An energetic, playful, and experienced Nanny is needed to join a wonderful single-father household and support a bright, goofy 6-year-old boy with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and a speech delay. His dad is looking for a warm, dependable nanny who will become a trusted part of their family and help his son continue building communication skills, confidence, and independence. This little guy is not yet conversational but can communicate his wants and needs. He loves swimming and surfing, and has recently expressed interest in baseball. Responsibilities include school pickup (in Woodland Hills), transportation to speech therapy 3x per week, supporting developmental goals, preparing meals and snacks, and planning engaging, play-based activities and outings. Light housekeeping includes keeping his bedroom and play areas tidy, washing dishes, and folding laundry. Dad works from home, so comfort working alongside a WFH parent is essential. The family is current based in the Century City/Little Holmby area but they are planning to relocate to Woodland Hills soon and would ideally love someone already based in the Valley.
