Summary:
A devoted single father is seeking a nurturing and energetic live-in nanny to become an integral part of his close-knit family team. This long-term role requires a candidate who can be flexible with their schedule. The family values a play-based, educational approach that encourages curiosity, creativity, and a love of the outdoors. California’s active lifestyle is central to this family, with beach outings, surfing, biking, and other recreational activities as part of their routine. The father is highly engaged in daily parenting and manages most household responsibilities, allowing the nanny to focus on creating meaningful, enriching experiences for the children. Occasional opportunities for domestic and international travel with the family may be available.

Required Skills:
The ideal candidate brings warmth, reliability, high energy, and a genuine can-do attitude, with a background in Early Childhood Education strongly preferred. Day to day, this looks like sparking imaginative play, introducing early math concepts through hands-on exploration, making art, moving to music, organizing park visits, and supporting bedtime routines, all within an environment where children feel safe to grow, question, and thrive. Experience supporting growing families in a private household setting is valued, as is comfort and confidence in outdoor and athletic environments including beach and water activities. Candidates should be consistent and adaptable, someone who brings steadiness as much as enthusiasm, and who communicates openly and builds trust with both children and a present, engaged parent. A willingness to travel and a commitment to a long-term placement are both strong advantages.
