A lovely family in the West Village neighborhood of Manhattan with two school-aged children is seeking a nanny to start asap after their nanny of 7 years retired. The schedule will typically be Monday through Friday from 11am to 6pm during the school year. The family will guarantee 40 hours if the nanny prefers more hours. During the summer the family will be in the Hamptons and typically the nanny works Monday through Thursday then, with a private bedroom for overnights. The family is expecting a new baby in August so a candidate with infant experience would be ideal but not required. The children are well-mannered and creative.
