AC222 - Part-Time Nanny - Upper West Side, NY

Overview

A kind, loving, and collaborative family on the Upper West Side is seeking a warm, experienced, and highly dependable, long-term part-time nanny to care primarily for their infant son, born in March. The family also has an older son, who is almost 3, and a full-time mother’s helper/nanny, creating a team-oriented household environment where flexibility, communication, and personality fit are especially important.

The ideal candidate is nurturing, punctual, proactive, and comfortable integrating into a dynamic household. The family is looking for someone who can seamlessly adapt to changing needs, work collaboratively with parents and existing support staff, and become a trusted part of the family’s routine.

While the primary focus will be infant care, the nanny must also be comfortable caring for both children when the older child is home from school, including school holidays, sick days, and throughout August. The general schedule will be Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 11:30am. The start date is flexible, ideally July. However, they are ready to hire as soon as the right candidate is found.
