Overview:
NEW YORK, NY | TRIBECA (LOCAL CANDIDATES ONLY) - A warm, intellectually engaged family of four in the heart of Tribeca is seeking a full-time, long-term nanny to become a genuine and invested presence in their children's daily lives. This is not a background role. The family is looking for someone who shows up ready to engage, connects naturally with young children, and understands that the best caregiving looks a lot like great company.
Their daughter is 5, and their son is 3. Both are silly, sweet, and imaginative. Their daughter is bright, curious, and observant — thoughtful and engaged, with a real interest in the people and ideas around her, their son is a spirited three-year-old finding his footing, and both light up with the right kind of attention. The family places a high value on early childhood development, meaningful conversation, and helping their children grow into kind, curious, well-mannered people. A caregiver who can hold their attention, play with genuine enthusiasm, and teach through interaction rather than instruction will thrive here.
The family is based in Tribeca and plans to stay downtown. Their daughter will be attending school on the Upper East Side, with transportation still to be determined. Their son attends preschool downtown with pickup around 3:00 to 4:00pm. The nanny will need to be a true team player as these logistics come together — flexible and solutions-oriented rather than rigid about routine. Core hours are 11:00am to 7:00pm, Monday–Friday, with flexibility for evenings, weekends, and schedule shifts as the family's needs dictate. The family has a home in Pennsylvania they visit on weekends and takes several trips throughout the year, so openness to occasional travel with the family is appreciated.
Day-to-day responsibilities include full childcare, family meal preparation and planning, grocery shopping, children's laundry, light housekeeping, errand running, and coordinating playdates with other children and nannies. When mom is home and working, the nanny is expected to keep the children engaged and active, inside and outside the home. This is a role that moves, and the right candidate will move with it comfortably. A driver's license is a meaningful bonus. Candidates from the outer boroughs are welcome provided the commute is reasonable.
The family is seeking a college-educated candidate with warm, big-sister energy, strong conversational skills, and a genuine interest in early childhood development. Mandarin is a nice-to-have but not required. MMR vaccination is preferred. Comfort with an NDA is a plus, though not required.
Benefits include paid sick days, paid holidays, and 10 days PTO split evenly between the family and the nanny's discretion. Compensation is $37–50 gross per hour, commensurate with experience.
Candidates who lead with warmth, bring energy and ideas, and are excited to be a real part of a family's everyday life are encouraged to apply.
