Nanny, San Francisco, US plus travel

Nanny (live-in)
San Francisco Bay Area, USA.  Extensive travel.
Salary: c. $200,000 depending on experience
 
One of our private clients requires a fun, energetic, and imaginative Nanny to care for their daughter, aged two. The family is based in San Francisco, with homes throughout the US, and travels extensively both domestically and internationally. This is a live-in position, and visa sponsorship is available for the right candidate.
 
This role suits someone who thrives on adventure and variety as much as childcare experience itself — think former yacht crew, travel-loving personalities, or anyone who brings genuine energy, creativity, and warmth to every day. Extensive formal nanny experience is not required; what matters most is being wonderful with children, endlessly imaginative, and ready to embrace a fast-paced, travel-filled lifestyle.
