JB027 - Live-In Nanny/Housekeeper - Upper East Side, NY

British American Household Staffing • New York, NY

2d • Onsite

About The Position

A warm, professional family on the Upper East Side of Manhattan is seeking an experienced, energetic, and nurturing Live-In Nanny/Housekeeper to join their household. The family has two daughters, a toddler age 2.5 and an infant age 3 months. There is an existing live-out nanny on staff who primarily focuses on the younger child, and the new hire will work collaboratively alongside her. The family employs a weekly deep cleaning service, so this role focuses on maintaining day-to-day cleanliness, organization, and the smooth running of the household rather than deep cleaning. This is a long-term role with a family that deeply values the people who work in their home and is committed to finding their forever person. The family will be relocating to the West Village mid-to-late next year, and the successful candidate should be open to that transition.
