A warm, active, and adventurous family of five in San Francisco is excited to welcome an exceptional career Rota Nanny as the second member of their nanny team!
This is a returning LPS family with a proven history of long, happy placements. They are looking for a dedicated professional who loves school-aged children, thrives in a true partnership with a co-nanny, and is energized by travel, the outdoors, and a calm, structured home.
The children are a bright and inquisitive 9-year-old, an energetic 5-year-old, and a joyful 3-year-old. The two older children are in school daily from 8:30 AM – 3:00 PM. This is an ideal role for someone who balances warmth and fun with real responsibility—someone confident with routines, homework support, independence-building, and keeping children’s spaces running smoothly.
This is a true rotational position: one week on / one week off, partnering with a co-nanny for seamless coverage. During “on” weeks you may live-in (private bedroom and bathroom on a separate floor) or live-out. Housing is available for both on-duty and off-duty weeks; you are free to stay, go home, or travel on your off weeks.
The family divides their time between San Francisco and second homes in Kauai, Montana, and Lake Tahoe (about half the year away). During longer travel stretches, the rotation may shift to two weeks on / two weeks off to ease travel demands.
When the older children are at school, you will contribute about 10–15 hours per week of light family-assistant support—children’s laundry, simple meal prep, and organization—so the household stays calm and well-run.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver attentive, developmentally appropriate care for the three children (ages 9, 5, and 3)
- Plan engaging, age-appropriate activities that foster reading, problem-solving, curiosity, creativity, and independence
- Handle daily routines: mornings, school drop-offs and pick-ups, packed lunches, simple children’s meals, and bedtime
- Maintain children’s spaces (light tidying, organization, and child-related laundry)
- Collaborate closely with parents, the co-nanny, and other household staff
- Travel domestically (and occasionally internationally) with the family as needed
- Prioritize safety, consistency, and a nurturing, joyful environment at all times
Schedule
- Standard: one week on / one week off, with full availability during “on” weeks
- Flexible shift to two weeks on / two weeks off during extended travel
- Housing provided for both on- and off-weeks
Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive salary commensurate with experience
- Full health insurance coverage and 401(k)
- Paid vacation and holidays aligned with off weeks
- Housing available throughout the rotation
Requirements
- 3–5+ years of professional nanny experience with children ages 3–9
- Prior ROTA experience and extensive travel comfort strongly preferred
- College degree preferred (early childhood education, child development, or related field a plus)
- Strong understanding of child development and educational best practices
- Excellent swimming skills (essential for family life)
- Clean driving record and reliable personal vehicle
- Valid passport with full flexibility for travel
- Proven ability to thrive in a fully staffed household
- Exceptional, verifiable references from long-term positions
- Successful completion of a comprehensive background check
- Discreet, proactive, organized, warm, and an outstanding team player
