About The Position

Part-time Nanny (15-20 hrs/week) required for a warm Brooklyn family with one toddler son starting no later than September. Specific duties to be negotiated with the family, but in general, you will be responsible for providing nurturing care and interacting with their son in an active, stimulating, and age-appropriate way. All child related duties are expected, including meals/snack preparation, facilitating play dates/activities, and light child related housekeeping. The parents are looking for an engaged + attentive individual who encourages curiosity + learning in a playful manner and seeks a genuine connection with kids! To be successful, you will need to be a calm, kind and nurturing nanny who enjoys partnering with hands-on parents. The family is looking for a long term part time nanny who has flexibility due to the parents' work schedules (both in creative space and hours vary / unpredictable) - candidates currently working weekends, who have flexible PT hours or who are in grad school would be a great match for this family! Your hours will be guaranteed week to week, however depending on the work schedules for Mom and Dad there will be consistent weeks where you will not be needed for that many hours.
