Manhattan Beach, CA | $180–$220 per day
A single father and physician in Manhattan Beach is seeking a reliable, experienced live-in nanny to care for his 2½-year-old daughter and help maintain a calm, well-organized household.
This is a full-time live-in weekday position, typically Monday morning through Friday night, with weekends off except for occasional additional coverage if discussed in advance.
The child attends Montessori school full-time (8 AM–4 PM) and maintains a consistent 7 PM–6 AM sleep schedule, creating built-in downtime during the day for household organization, errands, and preparation for the child’s routine.
This is a stable, long-term household role and is best suited for someone who values structure, consistency, and being a steady presence in a child’s life.
Compensation
- $180–$220 per day, depending on experience and fit
- Private furnished bedroom in a Manhattan Beach home
- All meals and utilities included while on duty
- Paid time off
- Health insurance support
- Respectful, stable household led by a present and appreciative parent
Key Responsibilities
- Morning preparation and school drop-off
- Afternoon pick-up and after-school care
- Preparing meals and snacks for the child
- Bath and bedtime routine
- Light cooking, including meals primarily for the child and occasional simple meal preparation for the household
- Light housekeeping including:
- Child laundry
- Tidying play areas and shared spaces
- Kitchen reset after meals
- Routine daily dog care (feeding, walking, letting out)
- Occasional grocery runs or household errands
- Maintaining a calm, organized home environment
Ideal Candidate
- Experienced caring for toddlers
- Calm, mature, dependable, and emotionally steady
- Professional and respectful of household routines and boundaries
- Strong communicator who works well within an established structure
- Valid driver’s license and comfortable driving with a child
- CPR certified (or willing to obtain certification before starting)
- Comfortable with dogs
- Able to live in Monday morning through Friday night consistently
This role is best suited for someone who already considers childcare or household support their primary profession and is seeking a stable long-term placement, rather than a transitional or student position.
Because this is a live-in household role with a consistent weekly rhythm, it works best for candidates whose schedules are not centered around school programs, secondary jobs, or outside training commitments.
Professional discretion and strong boundaries in a live-in environment are essential.
