A nanny/former teacher is sought for a busy family on the Upper East Side. Responsibilities will pertain to their sporty, independent 13-year-old daughter, and the family will guarantee 40 hours per week. Where these hours fall will vary throughout the year, depending on whether their daughter is at school/ off school/ at Summer camp, or off sick, etc. Typically, during the school year, the schedule will be 12 noon-8 pm. It will then switch to an earlier start (around 8/9 am) and finish (around 5/6 pm) during the school holidays, and when the daughter is off school for whatever reason. Candidates must be flexible to accommodate the sliding schedule.

The family’s current nanny is relocating, and her last day will be Friday, October 24th, so ideally the candidate would start well before then to ensure a smooth transition.

• School/activity drop off and pick up, specifically for swim training - the daughter is both academic and an athlete, swimming 6 days per week
• On occasion, the candidate will be required to travel with the daughter in a proxy capacity (without either of the parents), so they must be comfortable doing this
• Neither of the parents was educated in the US (British/Australian), so candidates should be willing and able to guide them and their daughter through the US education system, identifying pain points and ensuring their daughter is on track

• Must have verifiable experience working in the context of a Secondary school teacher, with the applicable knowledge to assist the family’s daughter with her studies and keep the parents apprised
• Candidates should be patient, mature, with a sense of humor, firm boundaries, and the ability to be a safe, responsible, and intuitive additional parent/ role model when the parents are working/ out of town.

• US passport, Green Card, or EAC
• Candidates must be non-smokers
• Must be passport-ready and willing to travel, if required 
• Candidates must drive (the family will provide a car)
• A solid understanding of the US Education system is essential
• Candidates must be comfortable signing an NDA
• Must ideally be able to start in September

• $40/hr plus any applicable overtime ($60/hr after 40 hours)
• All industry standard benefits, including additional overnight fee for any overnights and 8 x paid Federal Holidays, and healthcare
