About the role

Full-Time Bilingual Nanny / Family Assistant (San Francisco, CA)

Start Date: ASAP

Location: San Francisco, CA (Pacific Heights); summers and school breaks in Newport Beach, CA

Compensation: $40–$45/hour, negotiable based on experience

Position Type: Full-time, live-out (open to live-in for a candidate comfortable with housework and cooking)A private family in Pacific Heights is looking for a warm, energetic, bilingual Full-Time Nanny/Family Assistant to become a long-term part of their household. The role centers on two girls, ages 7 and 5. Mornings and evenings are spent on the girls' routines, and the time in between goes to keeping the household organized and running smoothly. The family lives in a three-story home with stairs and has a 12-year-old cavapoo. A housekeeper/house manager works in the home during the day, so the nanny needs to be comfortable working alongside other household staff. The family wants someone kind, loving, and creative who enjoys playing with children, teaching them new skills, and sharing interests like drawing, crafting, games, and imaginative play. Initiative matters most to them. A task list will be provided, but the right candidate sees what needs to be done and does it without being asked. The family spends mid-June through the end of August in Newport Beach, CA, as well as school breaks and holidays. A private casita is available there, and hours are much shorter because the girls attend day camps. Willingness to travel for summers and longer breaks is a strong plus. Flexibility for a few later evenings a month, occasional weekend events, and Saturday evenings is also a plus.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
