EH232 - Full-Time Nanny - Upper East Side

Overview

A wonderful, busy family of four is seeking a nanny to help care for their two children aged 2- and 5-years. The family live on the Upper East Side during the school year, and travel to their second home in Finger Lakes during the summer.

Both parents work in the city, so this is very much a sole charge position and they are looking for an experienced, professional candidate.

The schedule is for approximately 60-hours per week, Monday through Friday, 7am-7pm during the school year, but the family have more flexibility with hours during the summer months whilst continuing with the Monday through Friday schedule.

The position can be either live-in or live-out during the school year in NYC, but the candidate must be comfortable traveling with their family and/or living with them during the summer months in Finger Lakes. If a candidate prefers to live-in, the family have a separate studio apartment in their building. When in Finger Lakes, a private bedroom and bathroom will be provided.

The ideal candidate will be warm, highly reliable, proactive, and experienced with young children, and who is interested in becoming a long-term part of their family. The parents do not micro-manage and want the candidate to work autonimously and 'run the show' whilst they are working.The position is to start as soon as possible.
