A little bit about us
We have a nearly 3 year old, easy-going and hyper-sociable daughter, Kerry, and big, goofy, very sweet goldendoodle, Hazelnut. As Kerry is becoming more independent and our careers are becoming more demanding, we are looking for a kind, fun-loving person who can support our day-to-day routine and extend the joyfulness we try to bring to our family life every day. We’d love for someone to come to the apartment and take the dog for a walk around 3:30, tidy a little and set up the apartment for the evening, then pick up our daughter from day care at 5 (about a 10 min walk), and bring her home to start her dinner and play with her. Kerry has been in daycare since early days and has also had regular but rotating sitters (4-8 hours per week), but we are ready for a more long-term arrangement. Ideally, we would prefer a few workdays, ie ~3:30-7:30 Tuesday-Thursday, and a few hours on the weekend (time here can be flexible). Weekend hours would include playing and/or cleaning around the house during nap times, though she is always happy to drop naps for extra time at one of the nearby parks or a puzzle. In general, we have always gotten great feedback about Kerry and are a relaxed, midwestern couple who approaches parenting with a sense of humor, and we try to treat anyone entering our home with respect, understanding, and kindness.

We also have a long-haired miniature dachshund that would need to go out for an afternoon walk. When reaching out, please explain what you would expect a typical day to look like for you and our child.

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in New York, NY
Before you start looking for a nanny job, it's essential to learn about the different types of nannies and how they compare to each other so that you make sure you’re looking for the right opportunities.
The different types of nanny jobs have different nanny responsibilities. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. However, in general, a nanny is responsible for making sure the children's needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example, housekeeping or meal preparation, it’s good practice to make sure your expectations are aligned with the family.
There are temporary nanny jobs, even seasonal nanny jobs like summer nanny jobs. Beyond seasonal and temporary nanny positions, there are differences between full-time and part-time nanny jobs. The primary difference being the number of hours you spend at your nanny job every week. For full-time nannies, there are options for live in nanny positions and live-out positions in New York. Live-out positions are more common, but each family has their own set of needs that require different types of care, and live in nanny positions can be exactly what some families want. If you're looking to explore live in nanny positions , it's even more important to create a shared set of expectations around hours, responsibilities, and what is expected of you when you're not on the clock.
How to Interview for a Nanny Job in New York, NY
Once you start connecting with prospective employers, the next step is a nanny job interview. Here is a list of some nanny interview questions to prepare for:
- What do you think children like best about you?
- What kind of activities will you do with children this age?
- How do you handle problems that arise behaviorally and emotionally with kids this age?
Beyond answering questions, families will want you to have your nanny references ready and ask any questions to show initiative. The nanny job interview is an excellent opportunity to get aligned on the nanny job expectations. By doing this, you can get off on the right foot with your future employer.
