A little bit about us

We have two adorable, polite, sweet kids. We need help 4 mornings per week (Tuesday-Friday) getting them ready for school, one on the school bus and one dropped off at school. Also, Friday is a half day of school for my son, so Fridays would include pick up and coverage for about 4 hours. Most important thing we're looking for in a caregiver is flexibility. We need to find someone who can also work full days when there is no school in session. If interested, we could also add a few hours if the caregiver wanted to help with light meal prep and housework for the kids such as making their beds and doing their laundry.

Hello! We’re a loving family based in East Harlem seeking a nanny share for our two young children. We have a 10-month-old who is active, curious, and loves engaging play, and an almost 3-year-old who attends school most of the day.

We’re looking for a warm, experienced, and energetic caregiver who can:

Provide care for our 10-month-old for 5–6 hours each weekday (approx. 11am–5:30pm).

Pick up our 3-year-old from school (around 2:30pm) and care for him until about 5–5:30pm.

Support developmental play, outdoor time, meals/snacks, and maintain a safe, nurturing environment.


We’re open to joining an existing nanny share or coordinating with another family with similar needs. Ideally located in or near Harlem for convenience.

Looking forward to connecting!

Best,

Brandon S

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.

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.

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.
