A little bit about us
We are due in early July with our first baby! We are looking for a kind, playful and reliable nanny for our first baby. Both parents work full-time with demanding schedules so we are hoping to find someone who feels like part of our family to help us keep everything afloat.
We need a minimum of 40 hours per week. Ideally M-F, ~8am-5pm. There are really only a few days per week that have fixed (inflexible) hours, otherwise we can be flexible if you have appointments etc that you need to attend to. Mom (Austin) is a doctor and is on call for a few weeks out of the year and those weeks would require slightly longer hours, but we can do a day off the week before or after to make sure you’re not working too much!
We do have a small 8 year-old dog named Hudson who is a sweetheart. We would ideally like you to take him on walks when you go on walks with the baby. He needs a minimum of one walk in the middle of the day but ideally it would be helpful if you did his morning walk as well so we can focus on baby’s routine before we go to work. We will take care of all his grooming, feeding, etc.
We would appreciate it if you kept baby’s toys and room organized for the day and wash any bottles that are used. Doing baby’s laundry would be a bonus but not a deal breaker for us! We would love someone who is bilingual in English and Spanish who could speak to the baby only in Spanish.

A little bit about us
We are Hannah, Mathew, and our son, Leonardo, along with our friendly medium-sized dog, Remy. We both work full-time, with Mathew having every other Friday off. Starting July 7th, we’ll need care for Leonardo Monday through Thursday, and every other Friday. Leonardo will be 10-months-old in July.
We’re looking for a nurturing nanny who can care for Leonardo in our apartment, supporting him as he explores the world around him and helps foster his development. We'd expect cleaning after care and activities; safety and experience is a must and english & Italian or Spanish or French is a plus.
Our flat is conveniently located right next to Golden Gate Park, easily accessible by bus or Muni train, with plenty of nearby activities to keep you and Leonardo engaged. While dog duties aren’t required, you’re welcome to take Remy along if it adds to the fun on outings!
