This VIP family is seeking a dependable, proactive nanny to provide exceptional care for their energetic and curious 3-year-old girl. The position is primarily based in Mountain View, with the family spending Fridays and occasional time at their Watsonville home. The mother works a hybrid schedule and values someone who is reliable, organized, and able to anticipate the family's needs. The child is adventurous, highly verbal, and thrives on engaging activities such as reading, outdoor adventures, and visits to parks and libraries. She will attend preschool two mornings per week. You will transport her to and from school and prepare her lunches and snacks.

The family values respectful, relationship-based caregiving and appreciates someone who approaches every interaction with empathy, confidence, and consistency. Their parenting style is thoughtfully influenced by the principles of RIE/respectful parenting, Reggio Emilia, and Montessori, and they welcome a caregiver who naturally incorporates these approaches into everyday care.

During family travel, the nanny may also assist with light household management, including checking on the Mountain View home, bringing in mail, watering plants, taking out trash bins, and coordinating access for house cleaners or other service providers. First priority will be given to candidates with a degree relating to Early Childhood Education, Child Development, or Education. This is an excellent opportunity for a professional nanny seeking a long-term position with a warm, engaged family that values collaboration, flexibility, and exceptional childcare.
