A busy family in NYC, NY are seeking a full-time live-in nanny/family assistant for their 2 sons, ages 9 and 12 to start asap. The general schedule will be Monday through Friday from 7am Monday- 12pm Friday. During shift, the candidate will be expected to be on-call for all hours, however the kids are in school until 3pm. This position is live-in during the work shift, and live out on the weekends, so the candidate must have a home base nearby. This position will also include travel, to the Hamptons during the summer, and on occasion out of the country.

Job responsibilities include, but are not limited to, overall care of the boys (think full-charge mentality), helping get them ready in the morning, school drop-offs and pick-ups, taking them to after-school activities, helping with homework, and evening routines of dinner, bath, and bedtime. Assistant responsibilities include making all doctor’s appointments (dentist, orthodontist, etc.) and taking children to appointments, signing children up for and handling payment for all activities, organizing uniforms, submitting health forms, creating daily schedules for the children, handling communication/schedules with counselors, tutors, coaches, teachers, and drivers, keeping inventory of all the necessary products the children use and need, buying books, toys, sporting equipment, and clothing, and organizing rooms and closets on a continuous basis. This is a more informal, but fully staffed home, candidates must be able to work independently but also work as part of a team and be a team-player who gets along with most personalities. Candidates must also be able to work in a formal home when visiting the grandparents nearby.

The ideal nanny is positive, easy going, organized, proactive, and professional. The right candidate for this role is lighthearted and goofy, but also understands how to achieve structure, set boundaries, and have loving limits. The parents like to keep their boys active and engaged, and the kids like to laugh and have a good time! A candidate who has the energy for the former, and the sense of humor for the latter (especially sarcasm!), will do well in this position. The right candidate knows how to keep active children on a tight schedule. The parents want their children to be well mannered, kind, and productive contributors to society, don’t want the nanny to do for the children what the children can do for themselves, but above all else, they want their children to be healthy, happy, and thriving!

Candidates must have experience with school aged kids, have at least 1 full year of professional nanny experience in NYC, be CPR and First Aid Certified (or willing to certify before employment begins), have a valid driver’s license and clean driving background, be able to swim, have a valid current Passport, and be up to date on all vaccinations including COVID. Hourly rate is competitive and based on experience, with an annual salary equaling $100k-$130k with the standard benefits. Candidates must have a US Passport, Green Card, or EAC.
