A little bit about us

We have two boys, Carson (7) and Tanner (5), at Central Coast Waldorf School in Los Osos (~25–30 min from our home in San Luis Obispo). Both parents work, and one of us travels regularly for work, so we’re looking for a reliable helper who can:

- Drive them to/from school in Los Osos
- Watch them at home on no-school / early-out days
- Handle occasional after-school activities (e.g. gymnastics in SLO)

Must-haves: valid driver’s license, clean record, comfortable with two energetic school-age kids. Prefer you use your own insured car. References and background check preferred.

First dates we need: Wed–Fri Nov 11–13 (day coverage only, no overnight) — including a full day at home Wed (no school) and school runs Thu/Fri, plus gymnastics Thu 4–5pm. Ongoing help after that as travel comes up.

If you’re a good fit, tell us your rate, car/insurance situation, and Nov availability.

Full-Time Nanny Needed (2-Year-Old | San Luis Obispo | Starting July)

Hi! We’re a warm, easygoing family looking for a nanny for our 2-year-old daughter starting in July. Finding the right fit is most important to us, so we’re flexible on timing for the right person.

We’re hoping to find someone who is active, playful, kind, patient, and confident working independently—someone who genuinely enjoys engaging with toddlers and supporting their development through play.

Schedule:
We are currently needing full-time schedule (Monday-Friday 8AM–3PM, Wednesday 12-4pm)

Pay:
$20–25/hour depending on experience

What the days look like:
• Screen-free, engaging play (we value creativity, outdoor time, and connection)
• Supporting age-appropriate development through play and routine
• Occasional outings (library, parks, music classes) once everyone is comfortable
• Light household support during downtime (family laundry, dishes, tidying, simple meal prep)

We’re looking for someone who:
• Has recent experience with toddlers (and ideally infants)
• Is dependable, responsible, and takes initiative
• Enjoys being active and interactive (not just supervising)
• Is looking for a long-term position
• Has a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
• Is CPR certified
• Is a non-smoker
• Is comfortable with dogs (we have a friendly, house-trained dog)
• Can provide strong, recent references

A little about us:
I have a flexible schedule and may occasionally be home, but we value giving our nanny space and autonomy during the day. We’re looking for someone who feels like a natural extension of our family.

If this sounds like a good fit, we’d love to connect—please reach out with your experience and a little about yourself!

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in San Luis Obispo, CA

Before you start looking for a nanny job, it's essential to learn about the different types of nannies and how they compare to each other so that you make sure you’re looking for the right opportunities.

The different types of nanny jobs have different nanny responsibilities. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. However, in general, a nanny is responsible for making sure the children's needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example, housekeeping or meal preparation, it’s good practice to make sure your expectations are aligned with the family.

There are temporary nanny jobs, even seasonal nanny jobs like summer nanny jobs. Beyond seasonal and temporary nanny positions, there are differences between full-time and part-time nanny jobs. The primary difference being the number of hours you spend at your nanny job every week. For full-time nannies, there are options for live in nanny positions and live-out positions in San Luis Obispo. Live-out positions are more common, but each family has their own set of needs that require different types of care, and live in nanny positions can be exactly what some families want. If you're looking to explore live in nanny positions , it's even more important to create a shared set of expectations around hours, responsibilities, and what is expected of you when you're not on the clock.

How to Interview for a Nanny Job in San Luis Obispo, CA

Once you start connecting with prospective employers, the next step is a nanny job interview. Here is a list of some nanny interview questions to prepare for:

  • What do you think children like best about you?
  • What kind of activities will you do with children this age?
  • How do you handle problems that arise behaviorally and emotionally with kids this age?

Beyond answering questions, families will want you to have your nanny references ready and ask any questions to show initiative. The nanny job interview is an excellent opportunity to get aligned on the nanny job expectations. By doing this, you can get off on the right foot with your future employer.
