Little Sprouts & Co. is working with a warm, vibrant San Francisco family seeking a reliable, organized, and highly proactive Nanny/Family Assistant to become a long-term part of their household.

Extensive professional nanny experience is NOT required for this position! The family is open to candidates with little professional nanny experience or those looking to begin their career in private childcare. What matters most is maturity, dependability, initiative, professionalism, and a genuine ability to connect with children.

Some prior experience cooking or preparing meals for families is strongly preferred, as meal preparation is an important part of this role.

The household includes three energetic boys, ages 9, 6, and 4, as well as multiple adults. This is a lively, busy household, so the ideal candidate will enjoy being part of an active family environment and be comfortable jumping in wherever needed.

The nanny will primarily help the family transition smoothly through the after‑school and evening hours. The children thrive with structure and routine, and the family is looking for someone who can confidently help keep their evenings organized.

• Preparing vegetarian family dinners and having meals ready on time
• Weekly meal planning, primarily completed on Thursdays
• Setting the table and cleaning up after meals
• Children’s/family laundry related to the role
• Helping the boys through their evening routines, including baths and brushing teeth
• Preparing backpacks and belongings for the following day
• Loading/unloading the dishwasher and maintaining organization in the kitchen
• Updating the family’s shared app when household or children’s items are running low
• Encouraging the children to clean up after themselves and develop age‑appropriate independence
• Helping create consistent, organized routines
• Supporting normal developmental and educational milestones
• Proactively noticing what needs to be done and taking initiative without needing constant direction

This family cares far more about attitude, reliability, and initiative than having an extensive professional nanny résumé.

• Warm & personable — someone who genuinely enjoys being around children and can build a positive relationship with the entire household.
• Extremely reliable — punctuality and consistent attendance are incredibly important to this family.
• A self‑starter — they don’t want to have to provide a list every day. If you notice the dishwasher needs unloading, backpacks need organizing, or something needs restocking, you’re someone who naturally handles it.
• Organized & structured — the family has a structured parenting style and values routines, education, respect, and consistency.
• Professional — someone who understands how to be warm and involved while also recognizing when to give the family private time together.

Their oldest, 9, is curious, charming, and very talkative. Their 6‑year‑old is sweet and increasingly self‑sufficient, while their youngest is an energetic 4‑year‑old who does best when his routine—especially mealtimes—stays consistent.

This is a screen‑free household, and the parents strongly value education, independent thinking, and encouraging their…
