AS741 - Weekend Nanny - Rhinebeck, NY

British American Household Staffing • , NY

19d • $40 - $45 • Onsite

About The Position

A family of four in Rhinebeck, New York, is seeking a weekend nanny to care for their two sons, ages 18 months and 4.5 years. The family ideally wants help on Saturdays and Sundays for 10–12 hours per day, but is flexible and open to local candidates who can work fewer hours. They are also open to a New York City-based candidate who can drive with them to Rhinebeck on Friday evenings and return on Sunday evenings. The family is away during the summer months and would welcome the nanny joining them on Martha’s Vineyard if desired. The family is described as warm, down-to-earth, and appreciative of their staff.

The nanny will maintain the children’s routines, plan developmentally appropriate activities and outings, prepare basic child-friendly meals as needed, and handle child-related tidying and organization. The role requires collaboration and communication with the parents while also being comfortable taking initiative and managing the children’s day independently.

Responsibilities

• Follow and maintain age-appropriate routines for naps, feeding, diapering, hygiene, and daily schedules.
