About The Position

A warm Upper East Side family with three children (ages 6 years, 4 years, and newborn) is seeking an experienced, energetic, proactive weekend nanny. The role primarily focuses on caring for the two older children, with confident newborn care and support as needed. The nanny will work Saturdays and Sundays, approximately 8 am to 8 pm, for an initial 24 hours per week. The position is permanent and live-out, with an immediate start. The family may expand the position to 3–4 days per week to support its existing weekday nanny; weekend availability will remain required. The family values a long-term relationship and would welcome someone interested in growing with the household. UK travel over Christmas is a preference, not a requirement.
