A wonderful family of four temporarily living in Manhattan is seeking a temporary, four-day, weekend nanny to help care for their two children, aged 2 and 6 years. The role is to start as soon as possible and will go into the new year, but could be extended further.

The schedule will be Friday through Monday, 7am-8pm.

The family already has a full-time, weekday nanny and would like the candidate to overlap with them on Fridays and Mondays. Their 6-year-old attends school full-time, so the focus will mainly be on their younger child. The parents are around and involved, but on Saturdays and Sundays, the candidate should be responsible and able to care for both children.

There are other household staff, so the children will be the candidate's sole responsibility.

The ideal candidate will be kind, caring, flexible, trustworthy, and proactive.
