A lovely family in East Hampton and Manhattan, NY are seeking a full-time nanny for their 3-month-old baby to start mid-February. The general schedule will be Monday through Friday, with a guarantee of 40-50 hours per week, with some flexibility for occasional schedule changes due to parents' work schedules, date nights, and travel.
