Full-Time Nanny for Poway Infant

About the role

A bit about us: We are an active, family-oriented household in Poway looking for a warm, experienced nanny to care primarily for our infant daughter who is currently about 6 months old. We also have an energetic 8-year-old son who is high-functioning autistic, incredibly smart, and enjoys staying engaged through activities, classes, and learning opportunities. He attends school during the academic year, and will occasionally be home during school breaks, holidays, and summer vacation, so we're looking for someone who can build a positive relationship with both children. Our family values trust, communication, engagement, and creating enriching experiences for our children. Mom currently works from home most days, and both parents maintain busy professional schedules, so we're seeking someone dependable who can confidently manage the day while keeping our daughter safe, stimulated, and thriving. We love spending time together exploring activities, classes, parks, and community events, and hope to find a nanny who shares our enthusiasm for child development and active learning.
