Summary:
An Encinitas-based family is seeking a highly professional, experienced, and nurturing ROTA nanny to support the care and development of their bright and affectionate 4 year old. The position will alternate weekly with another full-time nanny, following a 7 day live in schedule, with flexibility required for domestic and international travel. The ideal candidate will be warm, well-educated, emotionally grounded, and deeply invested in supporting a child’s independence, curiosity, and growth. The child is creative, intelligent, and joyful, and we are seeking a caregiver who will partner with us in guiding her through her early years with patience, structure, and love. The role includes supporting daily routines, planning educational activities, managing travel logistics, and collaborating with both parents and household staff to ensure consistency and care across two homes. The nanny will live in during their on-duty week, have daily breaks when possible, and must be fully available throughout the week they are scheduled.

Required Skills:
This role requires a candidate with strong early childhood experience, excellent communication skills, and a commitment to fostering a respectful, engaging environment. A bachelor’s degree is required, and a background in education, especially Montessori, is highly valued. The ability to travel frequently and adapt to different schedules is essential, as is maintaining a high level of discretion, professionalism, and teamwork. The nanny must be CPR and First Aid certified, a confident and safe driver with a clean record, and physically and emotionally fit. Spanish fluency is a plus. A collaborative mindset, kind presence, and calm, capable demeanor are key. The nanny will serve as a positive role model and daily companion, helping our daughter learn through experience, play, and reflection in alignment with our family’s values and lifestyle.
