Vibrant Family Of Three Seeking Professional, Travel-Ready Nanny For 8-Month US/European Tour

A lively and warm Los Angeles family is seeking a flexible, proactive nanny to join them on an 8-month US/Europe Tour!

• Location: The family is typically based in Los Angeles, CA, but the tour will be across the United States and Europe.
• Ages of children: 18 months old 
• Contract dates: ~33 weeks, April 2023 through Mid November 2023 
• Schedule: Full-time, guaranteeing 40 hours per week while on tour. Candidates can expect to work between 4-6 days per week while on tour.
• Compensation: The family is offering $32-40/hour based on the 40-50-hour/week schedule. A retainer rate of $800/week will be paid for the 3-5 weeks of time off between tour segments, which equates to a contract base compensation in the $50k-65k for 33 weeks dependent on experience and the agreed-upon schedule. The family may be open to candidates who are seeking a higher compensation package commensurate with experience.
• Benefits: The family is open to providing paid time off. A weekly food stipend may also be provided while on tour, though most meals and groceries will be provided! 
• Accommodations: Accommodations will be provided while on tour. The family will be happy to fly a candidate to their home base or another location during off-time.

Household dynamic: 

• This spontaneous, movement-loving, and adventure-seeking family is excited to find a nanny to join their team! Their 18-month-old toddler is described as being curious, intelligent, sensitive, strong, and cheeky. He enjoys people who keep him engaged through activities, music, stroller walks, and playing outside!
• Mom and Dad are highly involved in their child’s day-to-day life. Their professional workloads ebb and flow, so they have the opportunity to spend a lot of time together as a family. They utilize a Montessori approach and are excited to work with someone who is committed to creating a safe and independent environment for their child to grow confidently. On the road, their community grows exponentially. The family of three will be surrounded by a village of co-workers who have become close friends after years of traveling together for months at a time. They are excited to find a nanny who can be a vibrant, professional, flexible extension of their family!

Ideal candidate: 

• This position is ideal for a candidate with an all-hands-on-deck attitude who is naturally organized and has a high energy, playful outlook with calm, steady reactions in a fast-paced environment. Both parents will be working in supporting roles while on tour, and are hopeful to work with a candidate who brings a strong sense of professionalism to the role and understands that they are an extension of the parents in the tour environment. Someone who is open-minded, vibrant, communicative, and passionate about travel, good-hearted people, and exploring quality food and new possibilities would be a perfect match for the family!
• Responsibilities include creating a consistent, comfortable play environment for the child to grow and thrive. Researching age-appropriate activities in each destination, light children’s meal preparation, tidying up common areas, helping the family stay organized, and packing/unpacking/transporting the child’s luggage. The role will be split between focusing on the child and assisting the family’s smooth transition from place to place. A single travel day will likely involve cars, a tour bus, and plane transport. A candidate should be comfortable and confident following directions and being on the move in unknown places.
• While not a requirement for the role, the family would love to work with someone who has past tour nanny and/or other relevant experience! 

Qualifications: 

• 3 years of professional childcare experience
• Valid passport
• Valid driver’s license
• Fully vaccinated and boosted (when eligible) against COVID-19 prior to start date in accordance with applicable laws 
• Knowledge and experience with age-appropriate developmental milestones
• Experience traveling with families and children
