A family in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, is seeking an engaging full-time live-out nanny for their 1-year-old son, and hopefully future children. The child is cheerful, loving, and active. He adores flowers and dogs, and loves pushing his small shopping cart around the house. The family is seeing a top-notch professional career nanny to work Monday through Friday 10am-6pm, 40 hours a week. Ideally, the nanny would be available for occasional babysitting or an earlier arrival (for example, at 9am).

• Talking to the child. It is important to the family that the nanny talks to their child, narrating their activities, explaining objects, chatting back and forth.
• Reading to the child. The baby already loves reading, and it’s essential that the nanny can help nurture this love of books.
• Actively playing. The family want someone who will play with their child both inside (blocks, crafts, etc) and outside (running around the playground with him, helping him slide and climb).
• Taking the child outside. The baby loves going outside, and the nanny should like going to a playground (there are many nearby), look at leaves on the sidewalk, or go to an indoor playground in winter.
• Ensuring child's safety, health, and happiness at all times.
• Supporting the achievement of age-appropriate milestones (e.g. mealtime, socialization, potty training, learning to read, walking, etc).
• Diaper changes.
• Child’s laundry (clothes and bed sheets).
• Feeding, meal preparation, and cooking for the child. Doing the child’s dishes (most in the dishwasher, occasionally something needs to be hand washed), and cleaning their eating spot.
• Keeping the child’s toys clean and relatively tidy. Toys sometimes need to be washed. Child’s room and playroom should be tidied (with the child’s help when he is able).
• Arranging playdates and facilitating his activities (currently a music class and gym class).
• Occasionally bathing and bedtime as needed I.E., if parents are out that night.
• Potentially open to summer travel, although this is not a necessity.

• They really desire someone who interacts with the child, is not passive. The nanny is not to be on their phone while with the child, but actively engaged with the child. Engaging the child is much more important to the family than cleaning/tidying--someone who will be willing to make a mess with crafts (when he is older) would be very welcome.
• Someone who is talkative and playful would be a good fit for the family.
• Must be comfortable with stairs as they live in a 5-floor brownstone. There is an elevator but the child should generally be expected to go up and down stairs.
• LGBTQ+ friendly—the family includes queer members who frequently visit.
• No driving is required for this role.

• Hourly rate is $40-48/hour (approximately $83k-$100k)
  • For a Norland Nanny, they will compensate higher ($130k+)
• $300 monthly healthcare stipend
• MetroCard
• Major holidays off and paid
• 2 weeks' paid vacation, 1 week of nanny's choosing and 1 week of family's choosing
• 5 paid sick days annually
