Full-Time Nanny for Poway Infant

Jovie San Diego, CA, USA Summary We are an active, family-oriented household in Poway looking for a warm, experienced nanny to care primarily for our infant daughter who is currently about 6 months old. We also have an energetic 8‑year‑old son who is high‑functioning autistic and enjoys staying engaged through activities, classes, and learning opportunities.

Our family values trust, communication, engagement, and creating enriching experiences for our children. Mom works from home most days, and both parents maintain busy professional schedules, so we’re seeking someone dependable who can confidently manage the day while keeping our daughter safe, stimulated, and thriving.
