About the Family

A warm, welcoming family in Park Slope is seeking an experienced nanny to become a valued, long-term partner in caring for their child. Both parents have demanding careers with schedules that require flexibility. They are deeply involved in their child’s life and prioritize spending as much time with her as possible.

The household is supported by a housekeeper and assistant, creating a collaborative environment where open communication, professionalism, and teamwork are highly valued. The ideal candidate is proactive, dependable, and comfortable working both independently and alongside other household staff.

Position Overview

The schedule is Monday through Friday with 50+ guaranteed hours per week. Typical hours will include mornings, late afternoons, and evenings, with flexibility needed based on the family’s work schedules. Additional hours may be needed during especially busy work periods, and additional Saturday morning hours are available to interested candidates.

The nanny’s primary responsibility will be caring for the family’s energetic 2.5-year-old daughter. As their daughter begins preschool 3 days per week this fall, the schedule will typically include a break between approximately 9-3pm. Daily responsibilities include managing routines, preschool drop-off and pick-up, planning engaging activities and playdates, preparing healthy meals and snacks, children’s laundry, and supporting bath and bedtime routines. The family employs a housekeeper, so only light childcare-related household responsibilities are expected.

Accommodations

The family lives in a four-story brownstone. The nanny will have a private bedroom and dedicated bathroom, along with access to a separate loft area that can be used as a private space during personal time.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide attentive, engaging care for the child
• Plan enriching, age-appropriate activities that encourage learning, creativity, and exploration

• Prepare healthy meals and snacks for the child
• Coordinate playdates, outings, and preschool-related activities
• Manage the child’s laundry and keep children’s bedrooms, play areas, and belongings organized
• Run occasional child-related errands as needed
• Communicate openly with the parents and collaborate effectively with the housekeeper and assistant

The Ideal Candidate

• Experienced caring for both toddlers and school-aged children
• Warm, playful, and highly engaged
• Calm, confident, and consistent in setting appropriate boundaries
• Organized, proactive, and able to work independently
• Flexible and adaptable to changing schedules
• Collaborative and enjoys working alongside other household staff
• Professional, discreet, and emotionally intelligent
• Local and familiar with navigating New York City
• Valid driver’s license preferred but not required (family vehicle available)
• Easygoing, calm, and genuinely invested in building a long-term relationship with the family

Requirements

• Minimum five years of full-time nanny experience
• Experience in private or high-profile households preferred
• Outstanding professional references
• CPR and Infant First Aid certified (or willing to renew)
• Fully vaccinated
