A kind, easygoing family based in Tribeca is seeking a full-time Family Assistant to care for their two young children—a sweet baby boy (5 months) and an energetic, curious 3-year-old girl—during their temporary stay in New York City. The family is visiting from London and will be in NYC from September 21 to December 15.

This is an ideal role for a gentle, proactive Family Assistant who understands the needs of both infants and toddlers and is comfortable working in a tag-team setup with an involved parent, while also assisting with household duties.

The household is casual and friendly, and the family values someone who is supportive, professional, and can maintain clear boundaries while being flexible and collaborative.
