A professional, entrepreneurial couple who welcomed their first child (a girl) in early February 2026 is seeking an experienced, career nanny to join their household beginning May/June 2026. Both parents run venture funds and maintain demanding, flexible schedules. They are seeking a highly capable nanny who can confidently take over from a maternity nurse and act as a trusted partner in their child’s early development.
The family is based primarily in Manhattan and spends approximately 25-30% of the year in Sun Valley, Idaho, including extended stays in both summer and winter, as well as annual international travel. The ideal candidate is Manhattan-based, passport-ready, and enthusiastic about frequent travel. Accommodations are provided when traveling and separate living quarters are available should a live-in solution in NYC be an immediate requirement.
