This long-term position requires someone to become a trusted part of the family, confidently manage childcare, and provide light family-assistant support. The role guarantees 40 hours per week, with flexibility appreciated around the schedule. The family prefers a live-out candidate but can offer optional private accommodation on evenings before longer workdays.

Support the child's development and encourage age-appropriate independence and boundaries.
Provide light household/family-assistant support during nursery hours, including changing beds, vacuuming as needed, loading/unloading the dishwasher, general tidying, and household organization.
Assist with occasional errands and grocery shopping.
Perform simple family meal preparation (a plus, not essential).

Legal to work in the US.
At least 5 years of relevant professional nanny experience with excellent, verifiable references.
Comfortable working a flexible 40-hour schedule across Monday through Friday.
Comfortable with occasional weekend flexibility and proxy parenting.
Able to commute reliably to the Upper East Side.
No driving is required.

Skills

Warm, friendly, personable, and engaging demeanor.
Playful and energetic, yet calm and grounded.
Confident in setting and maintaining appropriate boundaries; firm but fair.
