Job Description

Full Time live-out Nanny required for a SoHo family with an infant daughter (born Aug 2026) starting no later than early January 2027. Specific duties to be negotiated with the family, but in general, you will be responsible for all child related duties including providing nurturing + proactive care and interacting with their daughter in an engaging, loving and age-appropriate way. To be successful in this role, you will need to be someone who is calm, warm and who above all loves kids! The family is looking for a long term partnership with a candidate who feels like a natural extension of their family, a warm and gentle caretaker who wants to be a partner in the child's care and development, and who wants to grow with the family. The ideal candidate is someone who is confident with newborn and toddler milestones and actively engages in play and outdoor time. Experienced candidates with a maternal, gentle and caring nature will be a strong match for this family. Good communication, taking initiative and common sense/good judgment are key to this role. Mom works from home some days during the week - a candidate who is organized, independent and professional with the ability to read the room is a must.

German fluency is desired for the role (Dad is German!), however the family will consider all qualified and strong candidates!

The family is flexible for a Monday - Thursday (longer days) or Monday - Friday schedule as well as additional hours (evenings/weekends) if a candidate is looking for extra hours. The family's goal is to find the right long term personality match for their family and can supplement with a weekend / part time nanny if their preferred candidate is not looking to take on additional hours! All interested candidates looking for consistent 40-50 hours and between 4-6 days/week are encouraged to apply.

Flexibility as needed for additional hours and travel is required - the family does summer in Montauk and some live-in will be required.
