A warm and welcoming dual-household family in Venice, CA (Santa Monica) is seeking a proactive and upbeat Housekeeper/Nanny to join their households and provide both practical support and a positive presence. Mom and dad are separated but have a great coparenting relationship, they have 6-year-old boy/girl twins who are independent, imaginative, and in school most of the day, and split their time between mom and dads house. The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys wearing many hats — from keeping the home running smoothly to stepping in for fun, engaging time with the kids when they’re home.
This role involves a blend of childcare, household support, and general day-to-day organization + cleaning for a family split between two households. When the caregiver is not actively watching the children, the position shifts into cleaning and home-maintenance duties. The family will divide the caregiver’s time between both parents’ home- Dad is currently in Santa Monica and moving to a five-bedroom house in Mar Vista, while Mom’s home includes three upstairs bedrooms, a downstairs office, an ADU used occasionally as a playhouse, and four bathrooms. Mom has three cats (plus four kittens who will be adopted out in the coming months), all of which are non-shedding; Dad’s home has no pets. Meal prep support is ideal and very welcome. Cleaning responsibilities may include day-to-day tasks such as dishes, laundry, bathrooms, sweeping, and making beds, with the added bonus if the caregiver is able to handle occasional deep cleaning in place of the weekly maid service (please note that this is a ‘nice to have’, not a requirement). The role also includes assisting with driving the children to and from activities and coordinating with Mom to divide and conquer transportation needs.
LOCATION: Venice, CA (Greater Los Angeles Area)
SCHEDULE: Monday-Friday 9AM-5PM, with occasional weekend requests
COMPENSATION: $30-$35/hr Gross DOE
REQUIREMENTS:
- Experience working with school age children
- Pet friendly- they have 3 cats in the home
- Confident with Meal Prepping
- Innately Organized and Proactive Personality
In the afternoons or when the kids are home, the role shifts toward childcare- playing, engaging in creative activities, or keeping an eye on the twins while Mom goes to the gym. The family has three friendly cats, so being comfortable around pets is important. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who loves both keeping a home organized and caring for children in a relaxed, fun-loving household by the beach.
