About The Position

A lovely family with two working parents on the Upper West Side is seeking a top-notch educated nanny for their two children, ages 2 and 9. The schedule for this role is Monday through Friday, 7am-5pm. The family also has a home in upstate NY, so the nanny should be willing to travel occasionally (particularly during the summer months and school holidays) and live-in during that time period. The older child is in school full-time, so most of the care will be for the toddler, though there will be some care of both children in the evenings, as well as on days off from school.

Understanding of household boundaries as the family is quite private
Goal oriented- should enjoy setting goals for the children and executing those plans

Responsibilities

Engage with the children in a developmentally appropriate way- focusing on education and development with a play-based approach. Focus on explaining the world, discussing the child’s environment, and focusing opportunities for creative discover and play.
Proactively plan outings and activities- the family believes that there is "no bad weather, just bad clothing", and the nannies should feel comfortable with outdoor adventures daily, rain or shine.
