About The Position

A warm, hands-on family on the Upper East Side of New York is seeking an experienced, full-time career nanny to care for two young children, ages 4 months and 2 years. The baseline schedule is Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM–6:00 PM, with flexibility for occasional later evenings, potentially once or twice per week. Weekend coverage may also be needed. The family is open to live-in or live-out arrangements and has dedicated staff accommodations in the home. They hope to establish a long-term relationship with a nanny who feels valued, respected, and enjoys becoming part of the household. The nanny will work collaboratively with the parents, especially Mom, to provide attentive, nurturing, developmentally appropriate care. Duties include maintaining routines, planning age-appropriate activities, transporting the children to activities and appointments, preparing their meals and snacks, and handling child-related housekeeping. The family has a full-time housekeeper and values a team player who pitches in with small household tasks as needed. The family maintains a home on Long Island and would like the nanny to travel with them for a few weeks during the summer. Domestic and international travel may be involved. Spanish-speaking ability is a significant plus but is not required. The hourly rate starts at $40 and is open to discussion for the right fit; the role includes 10 hours of overtime per week.
