About the Family
This warm and welcoming Lilac family in Atherton is looking for a nurturing, creative, and education-focused nanny to support their two active, sporty boys. The children thrive in a structured yet playful environment where learning is fun and engaging. The family values a balanced mix of academics, creativity, and outdoor play, and they are seeking someone who can foster that environment. The grandparents live nearby and love being involved in the children’s daily lives. The family also travels frequently, including spending 5-6 weeks in London during the summer, and while they would love for their nanny to join, it is not a requirement.
The Ideal Candidate
The ideal nanny is patient, imaginative, and full of energy, with a background in education or child development. Experience working with children with attention deficit disorder is a plus, as one of the boys benefits from structured guidance to help with focus and learning. Someone who can make learning fun, plan creative and active activities, prepare simple, healthy meals, and foster independence in the children would be a great fit. The family is looking for someone the boys will be excited to see each day—a nanny who is engaged, and fun, and brings warmth to their routine.
