Escondido, CA | Part-Time Nanny During School Year / Full-Time During School

Afternoon Schedule | Twin Boys (Age 7) | Long-Term.

Our agency is partnering with a warm and thoughtful family in Escondido, California seeking a dependable, nurturing nanny to support their 7-year-old twin boys. This role offers consistent afternoon hours during the school year and expanded daytime hours when school is not in session, making it an excellent opportunity for a caregiver looking for stability and a long-term relationship with a family.

The family is seeking someone patient, steady, and emotionally attuned who can become a trusted and supportive presence in the children’s lives.

The Role

This position centers on caring for the twins and supporting their afternoon routines. One of the boys has developmental differences and currently requires assistance with mobility and positioning. He is described by the family as gentle and easygoing, and responds well to calm, attentive care.

The ideal candidate will be comfortable providing occasional physical support, including lifting or repositioning him (approximately 40 lbs), and will approach this work with patience, kindness, and confidence.

While prior special needs experience is a strong plus, the family is open to caregivers who bring compassion, emotional steadiness, and a genuine interest in supporting children with different developmental needs.

This role would be especially meaningful for a nanny who values consistency, connection, and helping children thrive at their own pace.
