A little bit about us
I’m a mama to an incredible 2-year-old girl who is always happy and full of energy. I work full-time remotely, which allows me to be home, but in need of help.
We’re currently looking for a nanny or babysitter who can assist us on occasional, random dates as they come up. We have a full-time nanny we absolutely adore, but we’re hoping to build a small network of trusted caregivers to cover for vacations, sick days, or other times when extra support is needed.
If this sounds like something that could work for you, I’d love to chat!

He’s a little shy with new people, so there would be a few short adjustment periods at first. I’d only need help 1–2 times a week in the beginning while he gets used to someone new.
This isn’t a full-time nanny role, just some occasional support. I don’t drive at the moment, so if you’re able to drive short distances for things like grocery runs or quick errands, that would be a huge plus!

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 Los Angeles. 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.
