A little bit about us
Start Date: August 11th | $20/hr (cash)
2 weeks paid time off December 22–January 2
We’re an happy family in La Mesa looking for an experienced full-time nanny to care for our baby boy, who will be 4.5 months old in August.
We live a healthy, active lifestyle and love cooking, spending time outdoors and enjoying San Diego! I’m Australian and my husband is American
We believe in gentle, responsive parenting with consistent routines, minimal screens, and lots of love. We value open communication, collaboration, and a good sense of humor—because babies are unpredictable, and sometimes the only thing you can do is laugh.
I work from home in an outdoor backyard office, and my husband is mostly out of the house.
We’ve got a very sweet Aussie Doodle and a Ragdoll cat who may try to join story time.
Our son is super chill, eats well, sleeps well, doesn’t cry unless there’s a reason. In August, he’ll be 4.5 months old - just hitting that super fun age where the baby giggles start

We’re seeking a native Spanish speaker who will speak exclusively Spanish with him. We’re not fluent ourselves, but we’re wanting to learn—and we hope to send him to a bilingual school. Language exposure and connection are extremely important to us!

A little bit about us
Another family and I both have beautiful girls born almost 2 weeks apart we are looking for care starting in August (when they are 3 months) Monday-Wednesday for both girls and potentially Thursday for 1 girl exact times will later be determined but should be about 8 hours from around 8am-4pm. We have two sweet dogs so you would have to be ok with dogs in the house
We would love someone with experience working with 2 families and 2 children at the same time. We would also love someone who has some knowledge in child development either by past experience or formal school.
Some responsibilities include Caring for the 2 girls, feeding them, cleaning up after them, and taking them outdoors.
Bonus points if you can speak another language. I speak Spanish and my husband speaks mandarin but any language you can teach the girls would be amazing.

What Are Bilingual Nanny Jobs?
Bilingual nanny jobs are positions where speaking a second language is a valued part of the role. Families may want their children to learn a language, keep up a language spoken at home, or communicate with a grandparent or relative. Your language skills can set you apart from other candidates and may support a higher rate.
Types of Bilingual Nanny Jobs and Responsibilities
Some families want you to speak only the second language with the children, and others want a mix throughout the day. Responsibilities can include childcare, meals, activities, and reading and playing in the second language. Jobs can be full-time, part-time, or live-in, so check the schedule and expectations in each posting.
How to Interview for Bilingual Nanny Jobs
Once you start connecting with prospective employers, the next step is a nanny job interview. Here are some questions you should ask:
- Which language do you want me to use, and how often?
- How fluent do you expect me to be?
- Do the children already speak the language?
- Are there other adults in the home who speak it?
- Is language teaching part of the role, or just everyday conversation?
Beyond asking these 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.
