A warm and down-to-earth family in Williamsburg, Brooklyn is seeking a Newborn Care Specialist to support them with their third baby, due May 22, 2026 (planned C-section likely May 15th). This will be their first time working with a night nurse.

The contract will run for approximately 4–6 weeks, with coverage 7 nights per week, 12-hour overnight shifts from 8pm to 8am.

This is a live-out position, and candidates must be local to NYC. The role must be invoiced through Carrot Fertility benefits.

The family lives in a two-level, three-bedroom apartment that is easily accessible (street-level entry, 7-minute walk to public transportation). They also have two older children — a 4-year-old boy and a 2-year-old girl.

The household dynamic is casual but respectful. The parents value professionalism, clear boundaries, and collaborative partnership. They are experienced employers and have had a long-term nanny for three years. They appreciate self-initiation, but expect their parenting preferences to be followed.
