A young family in Dumbo, Brooklyn are looking for a great nanny/family assistant to help them with their infant son and a friendly family dog starting in October 2025. The ideal schedule is 50 hours a week guaranteed: Monday 8am-6pm, Tuesday 8am-8pm, Thursday 8am-6pm, Friday 8am-8pm, and 5-6 hours on Saturdays TBD. The days off would be Wednesday and Sunday. The schedule can be flexible, and the family is open to creating a schedule that works for both parties, but ideally, they would like to have at least two Saturday’s a month. Mom is the primary caregiver, but they are looking for a candidate who can be a consistent, trustworthy extra set of hands — someone who can step in with childcare when needed and help manage the household day-to-day.
