The Nanny Matchmaker

THE FAMILY OVERVIEW | A warm, welcoming family in West Hollywood (with plans to relocate to Laurel Canyon) is seeking an experienced, collaborative career nanny to support their growing household. The family consists of mom, dad, their two children (ages 4 and 2 years), a friendly 6-year-old dog, and a new baby due in early September.The parents are highly engaged and hands-on. Mom stays home with the children while also managing her own business and supporting Dad with his. Dad owns his own business as well, and while his schedule varies depending on whether he's working on-site or closer to home, he prioritizes being present with his family in the evenings whenever possible.This role is ideal for a nanny who enjoys working as part of a true team. Mom is looking for a genuine partnership and envisions spending much of the day working alongside the nanny. She deeply values quality time with her children, so it's important that the nanny has the emotional intelligence to &quot;read the room&quot;, recognizing when mom is enjoying one-on-one time with the children and using those moments proactively to stay productive. Whether it's completing the children's laundry, tidying play areas, organizing toys, preparing for the next day, or tackling other child-related tasks, the ideal candidate will naturally anticipate the family's needs without requiring direction. It&rsquo;s equally important for the nanny to feel confident providing care to all three children when necessary. The family has a housekeeper a few days a week.The family guarantees a minimum of 35 hours per week. While the exact schedule will be finalized after the baby arrives and everyone settles into a routine, candidates should appreciate a role that offers some variety. Some days may begin around 8/9 AM and end around 4:30/5 PM, while others may start later in the morning or early afternoon and extend into the evening to accommodate family needs or date nights. Once a consistent rhythm has been established, the family intends to maintain a predictable schedule while continuing to guarantee the agreed-upon weekly hours.THE CHILDREN | The family has two wonderful children, a 4-year-old daughter and a 2-year-old son, and is excited to welcome a baby boy due in early September. An infant nanny will provide dedicated newborn care during the baby's first month, after which the career nanny gradually transitions to supporting all three children.Their daughter is outgoing, confident, creative, and incredibly curious. She loves imaginative play, arts and crafts, books, puzzles, and activities that challenge her mind. She attends school Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 2:30 PMTheir son is sweet, calm, affectionate, and observant. He loves basketball, playing alongside his big sister, and exploring through hands-on activities. He attends school on Monday and Wednesday from 9 AM to 11:45 AM and naps daily. Eventually, he will attend more school days, and the hours will get longer as he fully transitions into preschool.Together, the children thrive on creativity, learning, and meaningful play. They enjoy building, painting, drawing, reading, outdoor adventures, and discovering new activities. The family also values quiet moments and is looking for a nanny who can naturally balance engaging, interactive play with a calm, peaceful presence, following the children's lead throughout the day.THE FAMILY PHILOSOPHY | This family practices a calm, respectful, and relationship-focused parenting approach. They believe in treating their children with kindness, patience, and empathy while maintaining clear, consistent boundaries. Feelings and emotions are welcomed, and the children are encouraged to express themselves and work through challenges with support rather than having their emotions dismissed. Good manners, respect, and teamwork are important family values, and the parents strive to create an environment where the children feel heard while understanding that the adults set the expectations and boundaries.The family follows a screen-free philosophy for the children unless the parents specifically give permission. They encourage imaginative play, music, reading, arts and crafts, outdoor exploration, and other hands-on activities that foster creativity and development. While the nanny should keep their phone accessible to communicate with the parents throughout the day, they ask that personal screen use be kept out of sight while caring for the children. The ideal nanny will naturally be present, engaged, and enthusiastic about creating meaningful, interactive experiences.THE OPPORTUNITY | This is a collaborative, hands-on role that will evolve alongside the family's needs as they welcome their third child. The nanny will partner closely with both parents, primarily the mom, to help provide exceptional day-to-day care for the children while ensuring the household runs smoothly.No two days will look exactly the same. Some days will focus on the older children, while others may center around the baby or supporting mom behind the scenes as she spends quality time with the children. The ideal candidate is proactive, adaptable, and naturally looks for ways to be helpful without needing constant direction.Responsibilities include providing engaging, developmentally appropriate childcare; planning activities; children's laundry and organization; sanitizing bottles and toys; restocking diapers and other nursery essentials; emptying diaper pails; preparing children's spaces for the day ahead; light tidying; family assistant tasks; meal preparation; grocery pickup and other household errands; and assisting with the family's friendly dog, including walks, feedings, and fresh water.Above all, mom is looking for a true partner - someone who can follow her lead, anticipate the family's needs, and seamlessly step in wherever support is most valuable. The ideal nanny is intuitive, flexible, and enjoys working as part of a team to create a calm, organized, and nurturing home environment.THE IDEAL CANDIDATE | The ideal candidate is an experienced career nanny who is energetic, active, calm, patient, and nurturing, and who genuinely enjoys working as part of a collaborative team.

They are emotionally intelligent, intuitive, and able to read the room&mdash;understanding when to step in with the children and when to step back so mom can enjoy meaningful one-on-one time with them.This role is perfect for a nanny who finds fulfillment in supporting the family as a whole and takes pride in noticing what needs to be done before being asked. The ideal candidate will naturally anticipate the family's needs and use quieter moments to tackle child-related household tasks, tidy shared spaces, organize children's areas, walk the dog, pick up groceries, or run light errands.

The ideal nanny will model kindness, patience, and good manners, reinforce consistent boundaries, and help the children navigate their emotions with empathy.Candidates should be comfortable partnering with hands-on parents and following mom's lead throughout the day. Rather than taking over, they will seamlessly adapt to the family's rhythm, stepping in where needed while respecting and supporting the parents' desire to remain actively involved in their children's daily lives.A reliable personal vehicle is required for occasional grocery pickups and light errands.

After a long infertility journey and the gift of surrogacy, the arrival of their baby has been especially meaningful and deeply cherished.The parents are highly involved and view a newborn care specialist as an integral part of their support team during this season, rather than simply a service provider.
