British American Household Staffing•New York, NY

1d•$55•Hybrid

About The Position

A warm, welcoming family on the Upper East Side is seeking an experienced Family Assistant/Nanny to join their household on a long-term basis, starting ASAP. This is a unique opportunity for a career professional who enjoys supporting a busy family both behind the scenes and with their three school-aged children (aged 12, 9, and 6). While childcare is an important part of the position, there is also a real focus on serving as an organized, proactive Family Assistant who helps manage the day-to-day logistics of a busy household and supports the mother in keeping family life running smoothly. The family employs a full-time housekeeper and driver. They are looking for someone who complements this team and becomes a trusted, long-term member of the household. The family spends July through August (inclusive) at their Hamptons residence, so candidates should be comfortable spending Monday through Thursday there during this period. The schedule during the summer months will adjust to approximately 7 am–7 pm. The family will cover all transportation costs, provide an overnight stipend, and any additional hours worked will be eligible for overtime. Travel is otherwise minimal for this role.
