I remember the cover of the book had people in bathing suits on it. Her friend had the job but ended up going away and gave it to her instead.

Nope. That's not it

Sarah, do you remember if the girl was referred to as an au pair? Or, was she referred to as a "live-in-nanny, babysitter, caretaker, etc?

What genre was it? Mystery, romance, horror, coming-of-age, historical fiction, something else?

Interesting, a second search, sounds different, but I think it may be the same book?

Different book or the same one?

Check this list?

I'm pretty sure she was known as an au pair. She went to I believe California and when she got to the house no one was there. The cranky older son shows up l mad cause his step mother had forgotten they went to the beach house... He was always mad at her but they ended up getting closer
