About the job
These busy, dual-working parents are seeking a proactive, engaging, and organized caregiver for their two children-a 6-year-old girl and a 4-year-old boy. They're looking for someone who can seamlessly balance childcare, school pick-ups, and extracurricular drop-offs while also handling light household management to keep things running smoothly. Your primary focus will be their 4-year-old son, who thrives with structure and movement. He's full of energy and needs a caregiver who can keep up, channel his enthusiasm productively, and provide both discipline and creative outlets. Meanwhile, their 6-year-old daughter is a school-loving, after-school-program enthusiast who joins in later in the day. Beyond childcare, the family is looking for someone who can contribute to the household in meaningful ways-running errands, keeping toys and play areas organized, managing grocery shopping, overseeing vehicle maintenance, coordinating with household vendors, and handling kid-related laundry. They have a housekeeper for deep cleaning, but they need someone who can stay on top of day-to-day upkeep. If you're an energetic multitasker who loves working with active kids and enjoys keeping a home in order, this could be the perfect fit! LOCATION: Beverlywood, CA START DATE: ASAP SCHEDULE: Guaranteed 40 hours per week. The typical childcare schedule is below, with additional time before pick-ups for household tasks, meal prep, and errands. Flexibility is needed for school breaks, sick days, and occasional overnights. Monday/Thursday/Friday: 2:30 PM - 6:30 PM Tuesday: 1:30 PM - 6:30 PM Wednesday: 2:30 PM - 10:00 PM RATE: $30-35/hr gross DOE (paid on payroll) QUALIFICATIONS: Strong experience with children ages 4-8 Excellent driving record Willing to use personal vehicle (mileage reimbursed) Punctual and reliable Outstanding references from past employers Their ideal candidate is skilled at providing structure and discipline while maintaining a fun and engaging environment. You should be enthusiastic, energetic, and experienced in working with high-energy young boys. Creativity and resourcefulness in planning activities are essential, along with strong problem-solving skills and good common sense. The right person will be comfortable balancing both childcare and light household tasks. They are hoping to enroll their son in a Spanish immersion school, so Spanish-speaking skills would be a plus, but are not required! The family is also members of a yacht club with a pool-if you enjoy swimming, this could be a fun activity to do with the kids (though it's not required). Occasional light travel may be involved, but it's not a requirement. If you're looking for a rewarding role with a great family, you don't want to miss out on this great opportunity - apply today! This position is offered through Westside Nannies.
