About the job
A warm, proactive, and enthusiastic Nanny/Family Assistant is needed for a wonderful family in LA's Miracle Mile! Mom is navigating a separation and needs extra support to create stability and joy for her two children-a fun-loving 4.5-year-old boy and a bright 6.5-year-old girl. The younger child has speech apraxia and attends therapy, so an ideal candidate will be engaged, encouraging, and able to reinforce speech exercises in a natural and playful way. This is an after-school position covering afternoons into early evening. School pickups start as early as 2 PM, and afternoons/evenings will involve engaging the children in creative, enriching activities and imaginative play, assisting with meal prep and dinner cleanup, and supporting evening routines. Mom prefers to handle bedtime but would appreciate help with tidying up after the day and preparing for the next morning (e.g., loading/unloading the dishwasher, wiping down counters, packing lunches, ensuring backpacks are ready, handling kid laundry, etc.). A housekeeper comes weekly for deep cleaning, but the nanny will be responsible for day-to-day upkeep.

You should have a natural ability to create a structured yet fun-filled environment, bringing exciting new activities to the table while ensuring the household runs smoothly. Organization and tidiness are key, as mom values a well-kept home. While travel is not required, there is potential for occasional trips-the family has a summer vacation in Europe planned, and they also take weekend getaways from time to time. This is an amazing opportunity for a nanny who is eager to become an integral part of a loving family, providing not just childcare but also structure, joy, and support. If you are proactive, highly organized, and passionate about making a difference in children's lives, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today! This position is offered through Westside Nannies.
