A warm family in North Williamsburg, Brooklyn is seeking a Full-Time Japanese-Speaking Family Assistant/Infant Nanny to care for their young son, who was born in June.

The nanny’s primary responsibility for approximately half of the week will be providing attentive, engaging, and developmentally appropriate care for their son. The family would love someone who can take him to the park, classes, and other neighborhood activities while naturally speaking Japanese with him throughout the day. The nanny must also speak English so they can communicate easily with the mother. The family is specifically seeking a native Japanese speaker.

During the hours when the nanny is not responsible for the child, they will transition into a Family Assistant role and help keep the household organized and running smoothly. Responsibilities may include grocery shopping, errands, household organization, family laundry, meal preparation, inventory management, scheduling appointments and vendors, returns, and other day-to-day household needs.

No travel is required. No pets in the home.
