KP835 - Full-Time Nanny - Upper West Side
About The Position
A warm, busy family on the Upper West Side is seeking an experienced, proactive full-time nanny to care for their three children, ages 8, 5½, and 3½ years. The position is a guaranteed 50 hours per week, but this will likely be closer to 55 hours per week during the school year. The family hopes to find a long-term nanny who will become a trusted extension of their family—someone who is warm, engaging, hands-on, and committed to building meaningful relationships with the children. This family is not looking to outsource parenting; they are seeking a true partner who takes initiative, anticipates the family's needs, and naturally steps in where support is needed. They appreciate someone with common sense, strong judgment, and a proactive approach, who doesn't wait to be asked before helping. Both parents work from home at times, so the ideal candidate will be comfortable working in a collaborative household while also taking ownership of the children's day. There may occasionally be overlap with an afternoon babysitter.

- Available to start ASAP
- Warm, patient, and kind.
- Proactive, self-motivated, and takes initiative.
- Street-smart with excellent judgment and common sense.
- Comfortable working in a collaborative household where parents occasionally work from home.
- Energetic, playful, and genuinely enjoys engaging with children.
- Confident supporting children with different personalities and developmental needs.

Responsibilities
- Provide attentive, nurturing, developmentally appropriate care for three children.
- Manage daily routines, school schedules, and care during school breaks.
- Plan engaging, age-appropriate activities that encourage creativity, curiosity, and independence.
- Foster imaginative play through music, games, reading, arts and crafts, and other hands-on activities. The family would love someone who is happy to sit on the floor, play instruments such as the keyboard or drums, and actively engage with the children.
- Prepare healthy meals and snacks for the children.
- Complete the children's laundry and maintain tidy, organized children's spaces.
- Assist with child-related household duties while the children are at school during the academic year.
- No driving is required.
