Job Description

A warm and active Manhattan family is seeking an experienced, nurturing full-time live-out nanny to join their household beginning the first week of August, with a preference for a late July start if possible. The family is currently based in Manhattan and will be relocating to Manhasset, New York at the end of July or first week of August 2026. Both parents work full time, with the mother working from home on Thursdays and Fridays, making a nanny who is professional, self-directed, and respectful of household boundaries especially important. The family has three children: a 3-year-old daughter who is expected to begin preschool on a Monday, Wednesday, and Friday full-day schedule with Tuesday and Thursday half days, an 11-month-old son turning one in June, and a third baby due in December 2026. The ideal candidate will be equally comfortable engaging a toddler and caring for an infant, with the warmth, energy, and experience to grow alongside the family through an exciting period of change. This is a wonderful opportunity to become a long-term, trusted member of a loving household. When a second nanny is brought on following the arrival of the December baby, the candidate may have the option to reduce to 40 to 45 hours per week or remain at 52 hours, depending on preference and family need.
