Part-time Nanny in South L.A. for an 18-month-old and 5-year-old

Jovie•Los Angeles, CA

2d•$29

About The Position

A bit about us: We are a warm and caring family of 4 who enjoy spending time together, movie nights, and making pizza! We both work primarily from home in Vermont Square. Our community of friends is important to us, and we believe in kindness and compassion. We are a culturally-welcoming family looking for a collaborative nanny to be part of our family. If you are from a different cultural background, we would love for you to share that with our children. Our 18-month-old son has a really warm, engaging personality. He has mild gross motor delay, so it would be a great help for our nanny to be hands-on with him and do stretches and exercises. Our 5-year-old daughter is very curious and active. She loves arts and crafts! She’s also into soccer and dancing. She’s currently learning some Mandarin and Spanish in pre-K. A bit about you: You are patient, kind with your words, dependable, and genuinely love being around young children. You enjoy engaging curious minds, supporting early development, and are actively attentive. You are safety-conscious, a responsible driver, and a positive role model to children. You are comfortable supporting a child with mild gross motor delays and partnering with parents to encourage progress.
