A family in New York City is seeking a candidate who has a strong background in early childhood education to support their school‑age children. The schedule will be 30 hours per week guaranteed.

The candidate must hold these same values and be aligned in philosophy. The children are very active and enjoy sports, and the parents would like the candidate to be like-minded, ideally with a focus on health and wellness.

The family prefers a live‑out arrangement. They may relocate within the city in the future, so the candidate should be flexible with commute changes, as they are looking for longevity with their family. The role is to start as soon as possible, but they are willing to wait for the right person.
