Hi,
We're looking for a kind and caring part-time nanny or babysitter to help care for our infant (3 months currently) at our home in Redwood City (15-20 min drive from campus) and help support his physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development.
We lived at Stanford in EV during grad school. We'd love to find another member of the Stanford community (e.g., a grad student in the education or psychology department, a spouse of a graduate student) who is looking for a longer-term arrangement to supplement their income.
Schedule:
- 15-30 hours per week
- Preference for consistent daily hours each weekday, but we're flexible on hours and days for the right candidate.
- Potential conversion to full-time. Can write recommendations and refer enthusiastically to other clients within our networks.
Rate: $25-40 per hour, depending on experience, qualifications, and fit
Benefits: Guaranteed pay 52 weeks per year, paid vacation, paid sick time, paid holidays
Daily Responsibilities:
- Infant care, including feeding, diaper changes, engaging baby in age-appropriate activities (tummy time, sensory and motor activities, story time, songs, reading books, playing at the park, etc.), supporting developmental milestones, nap routines, etc.
- Baby-related tasks, such as washing baby bottles, baby laundry, tidying books and toys, baby food prep, etc.
- Logging baby's activities in an app
To be a GOOD FIT, you must be:
- Caring, calm, attentive, patient, responsible, engaging, affectionate
- Adaptable, detail-oriented
- Reliable
- Strong and physically capable of carrying baby safely
- Well-versed in infant development and milestones
- Intermediate English with strong communication skills
- Comfortable with mother working from home
Other Requirements:

Any of the following would be a PLUS:
- Formal background in early childhood education / infant development
- Experience with helping infants learn good sleep habits
- Experience with baby sign language
- Experience with the Montessori Method
- Experience with introducing solids
