Our son is 9 months and pretty much the happiest baby ever. Nothing seems to get him down. We are both working professionals and enjoy quiet family time on the weekends. We love being outdoors with our dog (who love love LOVES babies). Our nanny Ugi just loves our son and the little girl we have been nanny sharing with, but she is moving away with her family and so we are looking for a new best friend for him.

We are happy to host in our house in the Outer Richmond which is close to Golden Gate Park, playgrounds, retail on Balboa, and a library. Ugi speaks 4 languages including English and we encourage her to speak other languages with the little ones.

The Riley Family

& Elena Lopes

San Francisco$33/hr | 1 kid

Hello! We are a family of three who just moved to San Francisco from NYC a few months ago. We joined a nanny share when we moved here and absolutely love our nanny. The other family will be putting their daughter in school starting in January so we are looking for a new family to join our share. The share is full-time, M-F, 8am to 5:30pm.

The Neuberg Family

& Rose Martin

Mission District, San Francisco$30/hr | 1 kid

Amazing nanny + 20 month old toddler seeks family to join our nanny share! We live near Dolores Park and have nanny M-F roughly 9:30AM-5:30PM. More details:

We have an amazing nanny, Rose Martin, who we want to start a nanny family share with. Rose is loving, responsible, attentive, and fun! She's been working with us for more than a year with our 1 1/2 year old daughter, Cameron. We live right by Dolores Park, with several playgrounds within walking distance.

What we're looking for in another family for the nanny share:
* A single child for the nanny share close in age to Cameron (~1.5 to ~2 years old)
* Updated on vaccines and comfortable getting yearly flu shots, for the adults and child
* Interested in warm, respectful, and clear communication and a positive, communal connection between everyone, including the nanny and other family
* Having the same nap time for both children, to maximize the play & learning time they can have before and after the nap; Cameron's nap is currently between 12 and 3 PM -- we can move it slightly forward or backwards to accommodate another family
* Comfortable with outings by the nanny, by public transportation and eventually potentially our car
* Sharing hosting between our two houses
* A family that values benefits and a fair wage, seeing the nanny as an integral member of your family
* A family with a toddler able to fall asleep independently and in a shared room.

We currently employ Rose 35 hours a week; Rose is open to more hours then this if you need it for your child.

Shared hourly rate is $30 per hour (so for each family it would just be $15 an hour shared). We pay benefits, such as some sick leave, legal holidays, and vacation.

The Mehin Family

& Nataly Garcia

San Francisco$25/hr | 1 kid

hi There, we're looking for a family to share a Nanny with. We have a super cute and easy going 7 month old boy. We will be needing our Nanny on Mondays, Wednesday, Thursdays and Fridays as those are the days that my wife works - she's keen to spend Tuesday's with baby. We're happy to host at our house all the time but our nanny has mentioned that she prefers to be able to alternate between homes on a weekly basis so hopefully that works for you. Please let us know if you've got any more questions!

The Ford Family

& Erika Padron

San Francisco$30/hr | 1 kid

We are looking for a family to share a nanny with our one year old daughter. We prefer a family in or around the Nob Hill area, but we're open to consider other neighborhoods.

Our daughter is easy-going, happy and social and our nanny is fabulous. Not only is she professional, responsible and respectful, she is also engaging, loving and playful. She has 14 years of experience and has cared for 20 babies. She often offers very useful advice and recommendations, while respecting our roles as parents and not pushing her opinions on us. She is flexible and receptive when we make requests and is a great communicator. It's clear that she truly cares about our daughter's health and well-being. Our nanny loves to take our daughter out to local parks and allow her to explore and socialize with other kids. She fosters our daughter's development and growth by reading and singing to her everyday and playing stimulating games with her.

What makes me feel most at ease is how happy our daughter is when she sees our nanny; she just adores her. The two have developed a special bond since we started our nanny arrangement when our daughter was just four months old. My husband and I are extremely grateful for her and we hope to find a family to share her fantastic care. Please let me know if you are interested or have any leads. Thank you!

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in San Francisco, CA

Before beginning the search for a nanny, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a nanny is the right choice for your child care needs. In hiring a nanny, first, you should think through what responsibilities you expect your nanny to handle. With that information, you can create a profile so that nannies can reach out to you. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. In general, a nanny is responsible for making sure your 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 communicate these expectations with your nanny before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location can impact how much you should pay your nanny.

San Francisco Nanny Interviews

Once you start connecting with prospective nannies, the next step is a nanny interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some nanny interview questions to consider asking:

Do you have experience being a nanny?
How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?
What sort of household tasks are you open to doing?
Are you open to a live in arrangement in San Francisco? Do you have experience being a live in nanny?
Are you open to being a nanny in a nanny share?
Do you have any references?
Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in San Francisco?
Do you have a driver’s license in CA? Do you own a car?
What salary are you seeking? Are you open to being paid through direct-deposit, pay stubs?
What are your expectations around over-time pay and vacation time?

During the hiring process, it’s essential to ask for references, and by asking their references questions you gain a better understanding of they will fit in your family. As you get closer to hiring a nanny, be sure to run a background check to ensure your kids are in good hands. When evaluating a prospective nanny, it’s essential to make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your nanny. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around nanny responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming! And of course, as you learn how to hire a nanny, Nanny Lane's nanny services are here to help you along the way.
