About the Family
Fun, outdoors-loving San Carlos family with two school-age kids (Grades 4 & 2) and a friendly goldendoodle. One child is neurodivergent and thrives with calm structure, behavior-regulation support during transitions, and coaching around impulse control in stimulating settings.
Seeking a loving, detail-oriented nanny who makes the kids feel cared for while also holding firm, consistent boundaries. The family has had two long-term nannies and is looking for their next long-term teammate.
