Overview
First-time parents in San Francisco (Potrero Hill) are seeking a temporary nanny for their 6 months old for a period of 3-4 weeks from May 15th/20th through June 15th. The schedule will likely be 4-5 hour per day up to 3 days per week, but this very much depends on the candidate’s capacity in terms of how many hours and days they would prefer to commit to. There is also the potential for ongoing occasional evenings and weekends thereafter.
