KP840 - Full-Time Nanny - SoHo, NYC

British American Household Staffing • New York, NY

1d • $55 • Onsite

About The Position

A warm, professional family based in Soho, NYC, is seeking an experienced, reliable, and proactive full-time nanny for their two children, ages 10 months and 5 years. This is a live-out position, and the family is looking for a dependable nanny who can become a long-term member of the household. The family values a poised, polished, and professional nanny. Both parents work full-time, with the mother working from home on Fridays. The role is primarily full-charge, and the family is looking for someone who can confidently take ownership of the children’s days. The 5-year-old attends school on the Upper West Side, generally from 8:30 am–3:00 pm. Dad typically handles morning drop-off, but an occasional afternoon pickup may be required, sometimes with the baby in tow, although this should be relatively infrequent. She has after-school activities on Wednesdays and Thursdays until approximately 4:30 pm. During the summer and school holidays, the nanny should be comfortable caring for both children together. The 5-year-old attends nearby camps during the summer, but there will be periods when both the children are home. The family has a friendly Golden Retriever who attends doggy daycare daily, and no pet care is required. This is an excellent opportunity for a polished, experienced nanny seeking a long-term position with a wonderful family who values reliability, initiative, and a genuine commitment to their children's development.
