We are looking for a a fun travel nanny for a family with three teens in Ross CA. They are looking for someone who is a great role model, really responsible, great with boundaries, great communicator and overall really great at connecting with teens. This position is a little bit of everything. This is a blended family that really prioritizes family time. This includes fun travel adventures domestic and international. Their interest as a family hit all the seasons from hitting the beach to skiing and anything in between. Since the children are teens, as you can imagine they are defiantly super social; having their friends over is encouraged. Each child has completely different interests and hobbies. The entire family lives a really full time. Lots of travel and adventures. There is a high level of trust within this position. Both of parents travel extensively so this role really needs to have someone who is confident to potentially care for the teens full time at the home while parents are not home. Some weeks could be very full because of this and other much less need. Flexibility is really important to this family because everyone is home they often will not need the nanny’s support.

They will really be able to foster and encourage the girls to try new things and excel at what they are already into.
