KC061 - Back-up Nanny - Woodside, CA
British American Household Staffing, San Francisco, California, United States, 94199
Overview
A warm and welcoming family in Woodside, CA is seeking a Full-Time Back‑Up Nanny to support their nanny team in caring for their 3‑year‑old son and 1‑year‑old daughter. This position is unique: the nanny will be on retainer year‑round and will work up to a maximum of 12 weeks per year to provide coverage when the primary nannies are on vacation, out sick, or otherwise unavailable. You MUST live within a two‑hour drive of Woodside to be considered, to ensure availability for some of the last minute coverage (i.e. the other nanny calls out sick).
The current nanny team operates on a rotational schedule of 7‑days on / 7‑days off, from 7am–7pm, live‑out. The back‑up nanny will follow this same schedule during all coverage weeks. Unless you’re covering for the babies nanny then the hours are 6:30-7:00 pm.
Vacation weeks will be communicated in advance whenever possible, but this role also requires comfort with occasional last‑minute requests.
This is a casual but fully staffed home that includes a chef, housekeeper, PA, and a team of three nannies. The family values individuals who can be warm and personable while still maintaining professional boundaries.

A team player who integrates well into a staffed household
Able to remain fully present with the children
