AK084 - Full-Time Live-In Nanny - West Hollywood, CA

A warm, down-to-earth family in West Hollywood, CA, is seeking an exceptional, experienced Full-Time Nanny to care for their sweet 15-week-old baby girl. This is a wonderful opportunity for a nurturing, engaging, developmentally focused nanny looking to build a long-term relationship with a growing family.

The family values kindness, community, nature, and the simple joys of childhood. They maintain a relaxed, welcoming household and are seeking someone with a similarly gentle, easygoing personality who will naturally become part of their family dynamic.

The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of childhood development, with experience caring for children through various developmental stages. A background in early childhood education or experience with nature-based, Waldorf-inspired learning would be especially appealing.

The family prefers a live-in nanny but is also open to exceptional live-out candidates. For live-in candidates, beautiful, newly renovated accommodations are available in a separate guesthouse, featuring a private bedroom, bathroom, laundry facilities, and access to a private outdoor space.

The family travels frequently, both domestically and internationally, and accompanying them on their travels is a requirement of the position. Travel typically includes trips lasting 1–3 weeks throughout the year, as well as extended travel of approximately 6–8 consecutive weeks during the spring and summer months, primarily to the United Kingdom and France. The ideal candidate will be an enthusiastic, adaptable traveler who is comfortable spending extended periods away from home and maintaining the child's routines while traveling.

The schedule is Tuesday through Saturday, with 40 guaranteed hours per week and Sundays and Mondays off.
