KP790 - Top-Tier Career ROTA Nanny - SoHo, NYC

British American Household Staffing•New York, NY

10d

About The Position

A private family with a 9-month old is seeking an exceptional career nanny with infant care experience to work a rotational schedule - one week on/ one week off - alongside another ROTA nanny. This is a long-term opportunity for a caregiver who wants to grow alongside a family and evolve with the role as the child and family develop. BAHS placed an exceptional newborn care specialist with the family and the baby is reliably sleeping through the night. This role will be primarily live-in to start (while on duty), and live out when off-duty, with the potential to transition to fully live-out or a hybrid arrangement as the child grows and the family's needs evolve. Candidates who are local to NYC are therefore preferred. The family is looking for a caregiver who combines the structure, confidence, and technical expertise needed to care for an infant with the warmth, joyfulness, attunement, and intentionality of a truly high-caliber nanny. The ideal candidate operates with kindness, professionalism, intelligence, discretion, excellent judgment, and a calm, positive presence. The ideal candidate brings deep child development expertise, calm confidence in their approach, and the ability to work independently while collaborating with highly engaged and caring parents.
