About the Family
Thoughtful, first-time parents in San Francisco are seeking a full-time nanny for their infant son. Both parents are highly engaged, hands-on, and value building a strong, respectful partnership with their nanny.
This is a long-term role (1–2+ years) for someone who is reliable, calm, observant, and deeply attuned to a child's development. The home is collaborative, considerate, and low-pressure. There is no expectation to stay constantly busy when the baby is resting. The focus is on quality of care, not constant activity.
