Overview
A warm, down-to-earth family on the Upper East Side is seeking a full-time live-out nanny to care for their two young children — a 3-year-old daughter and a 1-year-old son. The family is looking for a reliable, engaging, and flexible professional who genuinely enjoys working with active young children and can become a steady, positive presence in their home.
This is an excellent opportunity for a nanny with strong experience managing two children simultaneously, particularly in a busy New York City environment. The ideal candidate is punctual, proactive, patient, and has a naturally upbeat disposition. The family values someone happy to come to work, communicates well, and brings calm, practical energy to the household.
The mother works from home, so the family is seeking someone confident, professional, and comfortable collaborating within a parent-present environment.
The general schedule is Monday through Friday from 8am to 6pm, with flexibility to work extended hours for date nights and occasional weekends. Ample notice will be given for extended hours.
This position is ideal for a career nanny seeking a long-term role with a thoughtful and appreciative family who values professionalism, flexibility, warmth, and reliability.
