A growing family in downtown Manhattan is looking for a dependable, nurturing, and proactive live-out ROTA nanny to care for their newborn and 2-year-old. Care is shared by two ROTA nannies on 12-hour shifts (7am-7pm), working 1-2 weeks on/ 1-2 weeks off. The nannies are live-out while on duty (so must maintain their own housing in the area) unless they are traveling with the family, or required to stay later/ over on occasion. From June through August, the family resides in the Hamptons, and during this time the position transitions to live-in while on rotation (candidates will be provided a private bedroom and bathroom). The family also travel both within the U.S. and abroad; when a trip takes them out of town, the family covers the nanny's flight back to their home base for the off rotation. 

This is a long-term role for caregivers who want to build a genuine, lasting bond with the children and grow with them as their needs change. The right person loves working with young children, takes pride in creating a calm and nurturing home, and works well alongside a team. Both nannies would take turns accompanying the family on domestic and international trips. A flexible, adaptable approach is essential, since plans can change with travel, holidays, the children's routines, and other commitments that come up. The family has a newborn care specialist for the baby's first 3–4 months, so the nanny can expect the baby to be in a consistent, well-established routine. 

Day to day, the nanny keeps the children engaged in age-appropriate play and outings and supports their overall care. Core responsibilities include:

• Keeping each child on their daily rhythm — bottles and diaper changes for the baby, meals and snacks for the toddler, plus naps and play for both

• Handle bottle feeds (breast milk or formula) for the baby and help introduce solids when ready, while preparing meals and snacks for the toddler and encouraging self-feeding

• Providing warm, attentive care for both a newborn and a toddler

• Maintain a safe, comfortable, and clean space for the children, following safe-sleep practices for the baby and consistent bedtime routines for the toddler

• Lead developmental play suited to each age — tummy time and sensory activities for the baby, and imaginative play, early learning, arts and crafts, and active outdoor time for the toddler, with books and music for both

• Work with the parents to shape routines that fit each child's stage, adjusting as they grow

• Keep the children's spaces running smoothly: tidying the nursery and playroom, staying ahead on supplies, rotating out outgrown toys and clothes, and keeping diaper bags and outing gear packed and ready

• Keep the parents in the loop on the children's day, mood, and anything noteworthy

• Read situations well — know when to step in and take initiative

• Keep children's supplies stocked and handle the light housekeeping that goes with their care — washing bottles, doing their laundry, and keeping their areas clean and sanitized

• Take the children to outings, appointments, and activities, driving or walking as needed

• Travel with the family, so care stays seamless on trips, packing everything the children need (clothing, gear, food, and the rest); light child-related housekeeping continues while away

• On occasion, share a room with one of the children while traveling

• Background as a full-time nanny, comfortable with children of different ages at once

• Prior experience in an ROTA role with young children

• Strong grounding in caring for both infants and toddlers — feeding, sleep, developmental milestones, behavior guidance, and safety

• Positive, can-do outlook

• Proactive and fully present with the kids throughout the shift

• A self-starter who gets things done

• Adaptable to any environment

• Genuinely enjoys nurturing independence and helping children learn

• Highly organized, punctual, clean, and tidy

• Available to serve as a full-time caregiver during the family's domestic and international travel

• At ease traveling with the family, both in the U.S. and abroad

• Comfortable working holidays

• A strong team player alongside hands-on parents and other caregivers

• Fluent in English and Fluent in Spanish is a plus

• A degree or certification in early childhood education or infant care is a plus, though equivalent hands-on experience counts too

• Authorized to work in the U.S. and to travel internationally

• Valid driver's license with a clean record

• Confident swimmer

• Flexible and ready to travel as needed

• Happy to collaborate closely with other household staff

• A clear communicator who can take charge when the moment calls for it

• Discretion and good judgment — sensitive to the family's privacy, knowing when to give them space, and poised and professional around their friends and wider circle

• Looking to commit long-term to a warm, grounded family

• Up to date with vaccinations

• $135,000+ per year, DOE.
• Health reimbursement arrangement of $1,000 per month.
