Hollywood Dell Family | Career Nanny

*THE FAMILY | *Located near Universal Studios, this warm and lovely family is seeking a full-time nanny to help with the weekly day-to-day care of their twin boys, who just turned four at the end of September.
This family believes in gentle parenting and discipline techniques.
They follow and express an interest in RIE parenting, allowing their boys to find and pursue their own interests safely yet engagingly.
Ideally, the family wants their new nanny to be familiar with RIE or express an interest in learning the techniques.
(A Montessori background works too!) They also hope their new nanny stays with them for a minimum of two years, though they would love for their new nanny to grow with them throughout the years.
Both parents work in a hybrid setting.
Mostly from their home office, but occasionally, they are required to go into the office or on-set.
Due to the nature of the father’s work, the family, including the nanny, travels for up to 2 to 12 weeks, sometimes multiple times a year.
International and domestic travel is required in this role.
