Job Description

A kind and caring family of three recently relocated to Tribeca, NY is seeking an amazing nanny to care for their 17-month-old son. The family would ideally prefer the role to be live-out but are open to live-in for the right candidate. The schedule is still to be confirmed but will most likely be Monday through Friday, or Tuesday through Saturday with 10-hours per day.

Even though mom is present and actively involved with her son, there will be times when the nanny has sole charge, so candidates must feel confident with this dynamic.

The father travels regularly for business both domestic and international. During this time the whole family typically travels together, and the nanny would join them too. Though for short trips there may be times when the nanny stays behind with their son and proxy parents.
