A sweet family in Union City, NJ (about 15 minutes from Manhattan next to Hoboken) is seeking a loving, long term live-out nanny for their 2 young children. The eldest is 1-year-old and they are expecting a baby February 2026; a night nurse will be present for the infant for the first month. They are seeking care four (4) days per week from 7:30am-6:30pm (approximately 44 hours per week).

Both parents are professionals in the finance field who work significant hours. Neither parent grew up with a nanny, and thus, do not have unrealistic expectations about what a nanny can be. They value warmth, proactiveness, and reliability over perfection and are looking for a true partner in caring for their children – someone loving, organized, and deeply child-focused.

Their single-family house in Union City has a private guest bedroom for the nanny to keep their belongings during work hours.

The family’s goal is to hire someone who can be with the family for 5-10 years and can evolve into a house manager as the children grow older.
