THEIR GENUINE NANNY
Meet Our Gardenia Family!
About the Family
This warm and welcoming family in Greenbrae is looking for a long-term nanny/family assistant to join their team and support their two young daughters—one entering 2nd grade and the other in full-time preschool. Both parents are hands-on and appreciate a proactive, communicative partner who feels like an extension of the family. The girls are fun, affectionate, and thrive with consistency, warmth, and thoughtful guidance. The family enjoys occasional trips to their home in Tahoe, where a private nanny space is available—and they’d love to bring their nanny along for lake time in the summer and skiing in the winter!
The Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate is warm, loving, and great with school-aged children. They’re calm, dependable, and confident juggling school pick-ups, reinforcing routines, and pitching in around the house when things need doing. Someone who enjoys being part of a team and can toggle between being a gentle playmate and a responsible family assistant would be a perfect match. Strong communication skills and a positive, can-do attitude are a must!
