About The Position

A warm, close-knit family in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, is looking for an energetic, engaged, and loving nanny/family assistant to join their household. The family have an 8-month-old son and an almost 4-year-old daughter, who attends school full-time. Mom recently stepped away from her corporate career, while Dad works a demanding job and is typically home after bedtime. The general schedule will be Monday through Friday, from 8/8:30am–6:30pm, with flexibility for occasional longer days/evenings. Some mornings may start later depending on the family's schedule, while occasional evenings will be needed for date nights or events. The family travels several times a year, and they will guarantee the nanny's salary when they travel without her (at least 4 weeks of the year). The ability to travel with them on long weekends from time to time or the occasional family vacation is ideal. The primary focus of this role will be caring for the 8 month-old, with occasional care of both children as needed. They are looking for someone who is comfortable tag-teaming with Mom, adapting to the family's schedule (with respectful notice provided), and becoming a trusted part of their household. Candidates should ideally be able to start between August 17 and the first week of September. This is a collaborative household. Some days Mom may be around and working alongside the nanny; other days the nanny may have more independent responsibility for the children.

  • Experience caring for infants and young children
  • Strong references

  • Flexibility around occasional schedule changes and evening hours
  • Comfort working approximately 8:00/8:30 AM–6:30 PM on most weekdays
  • Comfort around dogs
  • Willingness to occasionally travel with the family is strongly preferred, though not required
  • Must be comfortable working around extended family, including grandparents who are regularly involved in the children's lives

Nice To Haves
