Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday 9:30 AM–7:30 PM
25–30 hours per week

The family appreciates a small degree of flexibility when needed.

The family has two daughters, ages 4 and 2.

The older daughter attends school on the Upper East Side, approximately a 15-minute walk from the family's home. Depending on the day, school dismissal is generally between 2:30–3:15 PM, and she also attends activities such as ballet.

The younger daughter will generally begin her day with the nanny around 9:30 AM. On one morning, the nanny may meet Mom and the younger daughter at a class before taking over for the remainder of the day.

She typically naps around 12:30/1:00 PM for approximately 1.5–2 hours.

The girls enjoy playground outings, classes, imaginative play, arts and crafts, and getting out around the neighborhood. The family maintains a screen-free household, with screens generally reserved for times when the children are home sick.

The nanny's primary responsibility will always be the girls and their day-to-day care.

Responsibilities will include:

• Providing warm, attentive, and developmentally appropriate care for both children

• Confidently managing two young children and their different schedules

• School pickups and transportation to nearby activities

• Taking the girls to the playground, classes, and neighborhood outings

• Planning engaging, age-appropriate activities and creative projects

• Preparing breakfast, snacks, and lunch as needed

• Preparing or helping with dinner for both girls

• Supporting the younger child's nap routine

• Assisting with the girls' evening and bedtime routine, typically beginning between 6:15 PM and 6:45 PM

• Children's laundry

• Keeping the playroom and children's spaces organized

• Resetting toys, art supplies, and activity areas after use

• Light tidying related to the children, including vacuuming after meals or messy activities

• Cleaning the kitchen after meals 

• Getting organized and preparing for the children's day during quieter periods

The ideal candidate is:

• Experienced caring for two young children simultaneously

• Confident and comfortable juggling different schedules and needs

• Warm, playful, and genuinely engaged with children

• Organized and proactive

• Comfortable balancing childcare with child-related household responsibilities

• Collaborative and comfortable working alongside involved parents

• A strong communicator

• Comfortable navigating the UES  with two children

• Thoughtful about children's nutrition and meal preparation

• Flexible and dependable

• Interested in developing a long-term relationship with a family

Tuesday and Wednesday are particularly busy days for the family, so they would especially appreciate someone who can understand the rhythm of the household, anticipate what needs to be done, and confidently keep the day moving.

Compensation: $30/hour

Paid Vacation: 2 weeks based on the nanny's regular three-day workweek (6 paid working days total), with one week selected by the nanny and one week selected by the family.

Paid Sick Leave: 5 days

The family is thoughtful about planned time off and appreciates open, advance communication surrounding vacation and travel.

Above all, the family is looking for someone who feels like a collaborative partner in their home — someone confident enough to take ownership of the children's day while communicating openly and working comfortably alongside the parents.

They value warmth, good judgment, healthy routines, organization, and someone who can create a fun and engaging environment for their daughters while helping their household run smoothly.
