A little bit about us…

We're a growing family in the Outer Sunset with an 11-year-old boy who's with us half the time and a baby on the way.

We're getting an early start interviewing for a nanny to help us out once our baby's born around Jan. 10.

I'll have a 20-week leave from work, but this is my first child and my partner travels a lot for work, so we could use help from someone who can work with a first-time mom as well as providing an occasional ride for an 11-year-old boy to get to things like football practice if his dad's out of town or otherwise unavailable.

We're thinking a part-time nanny would suffice, but we might not know until the baby's here what days / times work best.

It would be great to start meeting people sooner, rather than later, though, just to see if they can ease into the role / acquaint themselves with our family by helping out with our 11-year-old's transportation needs.

I am a fully remote worker and work at home but need part time help, specifically Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9-5. I am looking for a nanny who can come to our home in the Marina in San Francisco and help with our 7.5 month old infant. Responsibilities would be to help with scheduled nap time, feedings, walks, play/educational time. Other responsibilities include baby laundry as needed and meal prep for when he starts eating solids.

Our little Anton is pretty easy going - unless he is hungry and/or tired but overall a well-tempered baby.
