British American Household Staffing•New York, NY

22h•$125,000 - $150,000•Onsite

About The Position

A dynamic family of five on the Upper West Side is seeking an educated, career ROTA nanny to care for their three children, ages 7, 3, and 5 months. This is a live-out position, and candidates must be local and able to commute to the Upper West Side daily. The schedule is 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., seven days per week, with a one-week rotation. The family has a full-time nanny who will mainly focus on the infant, but the ROTA nanny should be comfortable caring for all three children on weekends as needed and for a few hours in the evening. The nanny will take ownership of the children’s schedules, belongings, activities, and development, proactively planning and managing their needs. Both parents have demanding and unpredictable jobs and expect the nannies to be fully responsible for the children’s lives. The nanny will work closely with the co-ROTA nanny to provide full coverage and a seamless weekly handoff, and is expected to cover for the other nanny in an emergency. During off-weeks, the nanny should stay current with important child-related developments, correspondence, forms, and calendar updates. The children have multiple after-school activities. The family seeks someone proactive and educationally focused who plans ahead for the children’s development. A housekeeper handles weekly cooking and laundry; the nanny is expected to prepare light breakfasts and organize snacks, but not to handle other cooking or laundry. The position includes travel with the family, domestically and internationally, for trips of up to 14 days several times per year. The ROTA schedule will be adjusted during travel, and flexibility and coordination around personal vacations are necessary. The family is seeking a long-term commitment.
