About the job
Sweetest first-time parents in Santa Monica are on the lookout for a kind, dependable, and proactive nanny to join their journey with their adorable 3-month-old daughter! The general schedule is Mon-Fri from 10am-6pm (40 hours/week), but as they settle into their needs, the start/end times may shift slightly-so flexibility is key. These warm, laid-back parents are overjoyed about this new chapter in their lives and can't wait to find a nanny who feels like an extension of their family. Mom is WFH and loves popping in to share moments with her little one, so being comfortable with a parent at home is a must. The grandparents may occasionally stop by for visits, so the perfect candidate will also be at ease in a collaborative household and happy to step aside for some family time while tackling other tasks. You will be responsible for all comprehensive childcare duties: feeding, diaper changes, fostering developmental milestones through play, reading, singing, tummy time, and plenty of smiles! Outings with the baby are currently limited to just mom and dad, so comfort with staying in and creating an enriching environment at home is essential. During naps, additional duties include: washing bottles and baby laundry, preparing homemade purees and solids when age-appropriate, cleaning up after mealtimes and sanitizing toys, and keeping the nursery tidy. LOCATION: Santa Monica, CA START DATE: ASAP SCHEDULE: Mon-Fri 10am-6pm (40 hours/week) RATE: $30-35/hr gross QUALIFICATIONS: Strong experience with 0-3 age group Knowledgeable about developmental milestones Dog-friendly Vaccinations required: Annual flu shot, Tdap, and COVID (initial series + 1st booster) **Please apply only if you meet or are willing to meet these vaccination requirements.** The ideal nanny for this role is calm, easygoing, and adaptable, with exceptional experience working with newborns, infants, and toddlers. A solid understanding of developmental stages and milestones is essential, along with the ability to offer thoughtful guidance to parents in a supportive, collaborative way. A background in education or child development would be a major bonus but isn't required. It's worth noting their home has stairs, and their daughter is in the 98th percentile for height (she's a tall one!), so being physically agile and comfortable carrying her up and down stairs throughout the day is important. If you're ready to partner with a truly wonderful family and make 2025 unforgettable, don't miss this standout opportunity in sunny Santa Monica-APPLY TODAY! This position is offered through Westside Nannies.
