Looking for a part-time Nanny for our 6 month old girl starting Feb/March 2023. We are looking for care M-Th, 28hrs per week, 8:30am-3:30pm at $15/hr. We are located in a cozy home in La Mesa.

We are an easygoing and outdoorsy family, father is a small business owner & beekeeper who is in-and-out of the home throughout the day, and mother works in spirits marketing located in an office Downtown M-Th. Nanny will have Fri-Sun off!

We will pay holidays that fall between M-Th (even if care isn’t required)! This will include New Years Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. We do typically take an unpaid week family vacation in October and will provide at least 4 months (or more) advance notice. CPR certification for infants is required, we will cover the cost for this training if needed!

Must be animal-friendly, we have a sweet cat and a 3 y.o. golden retriever who is very well behaved and loving towards kids!

We would hope that our Nanny help out with light laundry etc. while baby is asleep. Great role for a student who would like to get homework or studying done during down time! Lovely MacArthur Park is a short walk down the street for an activity option outside the home. Nanny should be water-safe, we do have a pool. We do not have immunization requirements of our Nanny.

Looking forward to finding a great fit for our family and potential Nanny!
