Family Overview

A warm and busy single father in Fremont, CA is seeking a reliable and versatile Live In Housekeeper / After-School Nanny to support his household and care for his 12-year-old daughter, whom he has 50% of the time. The family previously had a long-term employee for 10 years, and they are hoping to find someone equally committed and dependable for a long-term role.

Position Summary

This is a dynamic, dual-role position combining hands-on housekeeping with after-school care and support for a pre-teen. The schedule and workload will vary depending on whether the father has his daughter that week—requiring more childcare support and later hours during those times, and more household-focused responsibilities during off weeks.

The ideal candidate is organized, flexible, nurturing, and proactive—someone who can seamlessly shift between managing the home and supporting the daughter’s daily routine.

• School pick-up and driving to after-school activities
• Supporting and maintaining the child’s daily routine
• Providing a safe, responsible, and engaging environment
• Assisting with basic needs and supervision appropriate for a 12-year-old

The Ideal Candidate

• Experienced in both housekeeping and childcare roles
• Responsible, reliable, and highly organized
• Warm, patient, and comfortable working with pre-teens
• Flexible and able to adapt to a rotating schedule
• Proactive and able to anticipate household and family needs
• Strong communicator who can coordinate effectively with a busy parent
• Interested in a long-term position

Requirements

• Prior experience in a similar dual-role position
• Valid driver’s license and clean driving record
• Comfortable driving a child to/from school and activities (gas reimbursed)
• Legally authorized to work in the U.S.

This is a wonderful long-term opportunity for someone who enjoys being a steady, supportive presence in a home and building a meaningful relationship with both parent and child while helping the household run smoothly.
