Time spent together is essential to us, and we prioritize outdoor adventures, family meals, and creating memories that will last. We enjoy picnics, hikes, and spontaneous outings around the Bay Area, often visiting parks and exploring new places together. As a family, we try to maintain a relaxed atmosphere, especially during evenings, when we make time to eat together at the table and unwind as a unit. Both parents work from home full‑time, with varied schedules that require flexibility and a lot of coordination week‑to‑week. Our home thrives on thoughtful organization and clear systems, which allow us to manage our busy lives. As our children, ages 5 and 7, grow older and become more independent, we find ourselves transitioning away from a full‑time nanny model and looking for someone who can step into a hybrid role, balancing household management with some after‑school support. We are seeking someone who can help create space in our daily rhythm, allowing us more quality time for ourselves and with our friends and family. We hope to find someone who brings a sense of calm and reliability while being proactive about handling the details of the home. You will be a key player in making our household run smoothly and supporting us in maintaining the quality of life that we value. We are excited about finding someone who can take ownership of our home systems and support us through this next chapter! Who You Are / What We’re Looking For We are seeking an experienced house manager with prior nanny experience who can balance taking initiative and being adaptable. You are naturally organized, tech‑savvy (Google Suite knowledge a plus), and enjoy creating home systems that improve the flow of daily life. This role involves not only daily childcare but also maintaining an organized, efficient home. You will bring your energy and expertise to engage with our children with enthusiasm and creativity, while also implementing systems and maintaining order across our home. The ideal candidate will have experience in both childcare and home management, while being comfortable working autonomously and communicating effectively. We value trustworthiness, consistency, and the ability to manage tasks independently. We need someone dependable who can bring a balanced energy to help make our home feel like a sanctuary. Strong organizational skills and attention to detail are essential, as is the ability to stay flexible and manage various priorities. If you are proactive, enjoy working in a family‑oriented environment, and are interested in a long‑term role and becoming an integral part of a household, we would love to meet you.
