A little bit about us
I am Japanese, and my family and I will be in the Bay Area, San Francisco, for the summer, from June 24 to July 26. We are looking for someone to work with us during this period, every weekday.
My family are me, my wife and two kids 9 and 6 years old. Mainly I would like you to take care a 6 years kid.
Job requirements:
I am looking for someone who can help take care of my son and also drive my daughter to and from school every morning and afternoon.
I need help for about 5 days a week, around 6-7 hours each day from 8am, but more hours are welcome. We have a swimming pool at home, so I would appreciate someone who wouldn't mind getting into the pool occasionally. You don't need to be able to swim; being comfortable walking with my kids in the pool is fine.
Additionally, when my family is taking care of my son, I would like some help with light cleaning and laundry. My grandmother is with us, so it would be great if you could accompany her for shopping trips by car.
Those are the main requirements. I am not too concerned about the details, so I would prefer someone who is friendly and easy to get along with.

What Are Short-Term Nanny Jobs?
Short-term nanny jobs are temporary positions with a set end date, such as covering a parental leave, a family move, a summer, or a gap between nannies. They suit nannies who like variety, are between jobs, or want to try a family before committing.
Types of Short-Term Nanny Jobs and Responsibilities
Short-term jobs can be full-time or part-time and last from a few weeks to several months. Responsibilities are the same as in an ongoing job, with an emphasis on getting up to speed quickly. Check the dates, the hours, and whether there is a chance of the role being extended.
How to Interview for Short-Term Nanny Jobs
Once you start connecting with prospective employers, the next step is a nanny job interview. Here are some questions you should ask:
- What are the start and end dates, and could the job be extended?
- Is the schedule full-time or part-time?
- What is the reason for the temporary role?
- How will I be paid, and is there a written agreement?
- What routines and house rules should I know on day one?
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.
