About The Position

A SoHo family is seeking a full-time, live-out nanny to care for their infant daughter, born in August 2026. The position is expected to start no later than early January 2027, with an earlier start possible for the right candidate. The family may also offer part-time hours in November or December depending on the candidate’s preference and availability. The role is intended as a long-term partnership, with the nanny becoming a warm, gentle, and engaged partner in the child’s care and development as she grows into toddlerhood. The nanny will provide nurturing, proactive, age-appropriate care and handle child-related duties. Specific duties will be negotiated with the family and may include meal preparation, tidying the child’s bedroom and play areas, laundry, and researching and planning playdates and activities. The family values a calm, warm, organized, independent, and professional caregiver who uses good judgment, communicates well, takes initiative, and can read the room when the mother works from home. The position guarantees 40 hours per week, with general hours expected to fall between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Candidates seeking consistent 40–50-hour weeks are encouraged to apply. Flexibility for additional hours and travel is required. The family spends summers in Montauk, where some live-in arrangements will be required; the nanny must be able to split time between the city and Montauk during summer weeks and be available on weekends. Compensation is $33–$38 per hour, with guaranteed hours paid as a W-2 employee and hours over 40 paid at 1.5 times the rate. The family offers a healthcare stipend if applicable, an unlimited OMNY card, sick/personal days, vacation, and public holidays, with details dependent on experience and other considerations. The family is open to a higher rate for German fluency.
