About the Role
A welcoming Upper East Side family seeks an experienced, energetic, and proactive weekend nanny for their three children (6 years, 4 years, and a newborn). The role primarily focuses on the older children but requires confidence in newborn care. There is significant potential for this role to expand into a full-time position. The family also ideally seeks a nanny open to traveling to the UK during the Christmas period.
Responsibilities
- Provide attentive, nurturing, and engaging care for the family's two older children, aged 6 years and 4 years.
- Confidently care for the newborn as needed, including supporting with feeding, soothing, changing, and age-appropriate routines.
- Plan and organise stimulating, age-appropriate activities, outings, and experiences.
- Encourage creativity, independence, good manners, and positive behaviour through a warm and consistent approach.
- Confidently establish and maintain appropriate boundaries while respecting the family's relaxed parenting style.
- Support the children's daily routines, including mealtimes, personal care, and general organisation.
- Prepare simple meals and snacks for the children, including reheating prepared food as needed.
- Proactively anticipate the children's needs and adapt plans throughout the day.
- Accompany the children to local activities and attractions, confidently navigating Manhattan and public transportation.
- Maintain a tidy and organised environment in the children's immediate spaces.
- Communicate openly with the parents and work collaboratively with other household staff.
- Ideally, be open to providing additional weekday childcare support as the role develops.
Requirements
- Previous professional nanny experience, ideally caring for multiple children across different age groups.
- Strong, demonstrable experience caring for newborns and infants, with the confidence to independently manage their needs when required.
- A sound understanding of child development across infancy and early childhood.
- Experience confidently balancing the needs of children of different ages, while maintaining a calm and attentive approach.
- A warm, nurturing, energetic, and engaging personality.
- A proactive, resourceful, and flexible approach, with the ability to work independently.
- Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, team-oriented mindset.
- Strong knowledge of Manhattan, including family-friendly activities, museums, parks, and public transportation.
- Experience working with British or European families, or familiarity with a similar parenting approach, would be advantageous.
- A genuine interest in establishing a long-term relationship with the family.
- Legally authorised to work in the United States.
- Fluent English speaker.
- Available to work Saturdays and Sundays, approximately 8 am–8 pm.
- Comfortable working in a fully staffed household and alongside an existing live-in nanny.
- Confident and experienced in providing hands-on care for a newborn, despite the role being primarily focused on the older children.
- Comfortable around dogs.
- Strong, verifiable professional references.
- Open to the possibility of increasing working hours and providing weekday support in the future, while retaining weekend availability.
- Availability to travel to the UK over Christmas would be highly desirable but is not essential.
- A valid passport and ability to travel internationally are advantageous but not required.
