A warm, respectful and busy Manhattan-based family seeks a fantastic rotational Spanish-speaking nanny to care for two children.  The schedule is likely to be 2 weeks on/off, however flexibility around this would be appreciated, particularly when the family travel.  The nanny will live-in while on duty, and live-out when off duty, and the family will not consider fly in/out candidates.

The nanny will be responsible for the care of two children.  Duties will include:

• Organizing and participating in age-appropriate activities that promote cognitive and social development

• Staying up-to-date with the latest research and practices in child development to provide the best possible care for the children
• Maintaining a clean, safe and organized environment for the children to play and learn in
• Light housekeeping during the mornings when the children are at school, to support the full-time housekeeper

No specific qualifications are required, however the following experience and characteristics would be appreciated:

• Childcare responsibilities that have included implementing gentle boundaries and involve a respectful approach
• Working as part of a domestic team in a private home
