Job details

• Location: Los Angeles, CA

• Hours: 30-40hrs/week

We are seeking a highly organized, energetic, and proactive Family Assistant / Nanny to support a busy household with two children (ages 8 and 3). This role combines childcare, household support, and logistics management.

The ideal candidate is warm, upbeat, reliable, and takes initiative—while also being open to direction and constructive feedback.
