A little bit about us

We are a warm, active family in Montecito looking for a wonderful full-time, live-out nanny to become a long-term part of our family.

We have six children, but four are teenagers and largely self-sufficient, so the position is primarily focused on our 1-year-old and 4-year-old.

We’re looking for someone who genuinely loves spending time with young children and is happy creating fun, engaging days at home—playing outside, doing crafts and activities, going on walks and outings, and keeping the little ones active and entertained. Responsibilities will also include school pickups, driving to activities, preparing simple meals/snacks for the children, and helping keep their spaces and routines organized.

Both parents work primarily from home and are very hands-on, so we’re looking for someone comfortable working collaboratively with parents who are around frequently. There may occasionally be some help needed with the older children, but the primary responsibility is the two youngest.

Our family travels approximately four times per year, and we would love someone who is comfortable traveling with us and occasionally staying overnight when needed.

The ideal person is warm, playful, energetic, flexible, responsible, and genuinely loves toddlers and preschool-age children. We’re hoping to find someone who wants a long-term position and will become a trusted and valued part of our household.

Ideal candidate:

• Professional nanny/childcare experience
• Strong toddler and preschool experience
• Safe, confident driver with a clean driving record
• CPR/First Aid certified or willing to become certified
• Comfortable with family travel and occasional overnights
• Flexible, dependable, proactive, and easygoing
• Looking for a long-term position

Schedule: Approximately 35–40 hours/week
Compensation: $35–$40/hour, depending on experience, plus guaranteed hours, PTO, and applicable overtime
Location: Montecito, California

What Are Traveling Nanny Jobs?

Traveling nanny jobs are positions where you join a family on trips, from short vacations to long stays. They suit nannies who love to travel, have flexible schedules, and are comfortable caring for children away from home.

Types of Traveling Nanny Jobs and Responsibilities

Some jobs are regular, such as a family that travels every month, and others are occasional, such as a holiday or a work trip. Duties include childcare in hotels, rental homes, or on the road, with longer or less predictable hours. Check who covers travel costs, how travel days are paid, and how much notice you will get.

How to Interview for Traveling Nanny Jobs

Once you start connecting with prospective employers, the next step is a nanny job interview. Here are some questions you should ask:

  • How often will I travel, and for how long?
  • Who pays for flights, accommodation, and meals?
  • How are travel days and long hours paid?
  • Will I need a passport or any other documents?
  • How much notice will I get for trips?

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.
