Overview
A kind and loving Upper East Side-based family is looking for a long-term, reliable nanny to be a part of their family and care for their almost 3-year-old son and soon-to-be newborn son. The family is looking for a Tuesday-through-Saturday, 40 hours per week schedule with the following hours:
Tuesday: 10:30-6:30
Wednesday: 10:30-6:30
Thursday: 11-7
Friday: 10:30-6:30
Saturday: 11-7
If the candidate needed 50 hours, they are open to that for the right person.
Additionally, the family spends anywhere from 4-8 weeks in the Hamptons every summer and would need someone who can join. There is also other potential travel where they would request that the nanny join, as well as 3-5 weeks per year without the nanny, which would be PTO.
