A busy, active family relatively new to New York seeks a live-out, temporary full-time Norland (or equivalent) nanny.  The role is likely to start at the start of July and will continue until mid-August, possibly longer depending on whether the family stay in NYC.   An approximate schedule will be Monday through Friday, 8am-7pm daily, but please be flexible to allow for occasional babysitting and/or weekend hours.  

The nanny will be responsible for 2 children, aged 4-years and 2-years.  Duties will include, but are not limited to:

• All general nursery duties, to include keeping their areas clean and tidy, and doing the children's laundry and ironing
• Preparing nutritious and delicious meals for the children
• Finding fun activities, playgroups and classes in their local area 
• Nursery/summer school drop offs and pick ups 
• Engaging in plenty of imaginative and creative play
• Supporting their emotional and physical well-being and encouraging their continued growth and development

The right candidate will be flexible and loving, aligning with the family’s values. The family would love to welcome a nanny who:

• Encourages a calm, happy environment
• Can instill a foundation of good manners
• Provides gentle boundaries and who can be kind yet firm when required
• Has a warm, loving and nurturing nature
• Has previously travelled with a family
• Has at least 8 years experience and who is completely familiar with young children of a similar age

• Is very familiar with Manhattan and what it offers young children
• Speaks excellent English
• Has a professional approach to the position, with relevant training.  While the family would prefer a nanny who is Norland-trained, they are also open to other candidates who can demonstrate commitment, common-sense, initiative and an awareness of behavioural milestones and emotional, physical and mental development.

• From $40/hr, depending on experience and qualifcations
