Warm, active family seeking an experienced, flexible nanny/family assistant starting early September (ideally Sept 8). Looking for someone who can commit through the school year and ideally longer.
Family: 3-month-old baby and a 4.5-year-old (school M–F mornings). Primary focus is the baby, plus help with school drop-off/pick-up, holidays, and occasional evenings. Mom is home and involved — you'd be hands-on with the baby's daily care, with mom deciding on activities/classes and nearby to collaborate. Supportive partnership, not solo coverage.
Responsibilities (even split of childcare & household):
* Infant care and age-appropriate activities
* Help with our 4.5-year-old outside school hours, incl. occasional pickup
* Family laundry (wash, fold, put away)
* Tidying toys/common areas; light cleaning (vacuum, mop, countertops)
* Dishwasher loading/unloading
* Simple food prep for kids and occasionally the family
* Occasional errands and evening/date-night babysitting
Schedule: ~30–35 hrs/week, consistent once set (some flexibility possible, e.g. a student's class schedule). Wednesdays 8 AM–12 PM required; other mornings most helpful; occasional evenings a plus. Paid for scheduled hours even if plans change.
Compensation & benefits:
* $25–30/hr based on experience (higher end for early childhood ed background + strong infant experience)
* 1–2 weeks PTO + major holidays; paid sick leave per NY law
* Modest rate increase during Hamptons weeks (live-in)
Location: Starts Midtown East (E 50s), likely moving to UES within ~6 months. Summers largely in the Hamptons — ideally 5 days/week live-in (preferred, not required). Driving a plus for camp pickup/errands; car provided.
Requirements:
* Experience with young babies required; references required
* Strong English; French or Bengali a plus
* Non-smoker; reliable, warm, proactive, comfortable taking initiative
To apply: send a brief intro, relevant experience, availability, and references. Looking forward to meeting you!

A little bit about us
Hi! We recently had twin girls and need a nanny to watch them during the day once we've both returned to work (in early February 2026). We may also be interested in having you nanny once a week this fall so that the girls can adjust to spending time with you.
For February, we are looking for a part-time nanny who can work from 8 am to 3 pm three or four days per week. You don't need to do any housework, apart from washing the baby bottles, or cooking.
You should have prior work experience taking care of infants and toddlers and know how to assist a baby in case of medical emergency.
If you speak a second language that's a plus. :) We are a bilingual household -- English and Spanish.
We also have a cat at home, so you should not have pet allergies. We will feed him before and after work so you don't need to attend to him, unless you enjoy playing with kitties.

How to Find an Infant Care Job in New York, NY
If you’re looking for an infant nanny job, you’ve come to the right place! We can help you find an infant care job in your area. Start by telling families about yourself in your profile, and then chat with families to find the right fit. When you think you’ve found the right match, you can turn the discussion towards compensation and responsibilities.
What is an Infant Nanny in New York, NY
An infant nanny is a nanny that specializes in caring for newborns. They are skilled in diapering and providing care for any rashes, swaddling, bathing, feeding, and burping. Some infant nannies further specialize in care for premature newborns or multiples.
Preparing for a Nanny Interview for an Infant Care Position
Once you start connecting with prospective employers, the next step is an infant nanny job interview. Here is a list of some infant nanny interview questions to prepare for:
- What is your specific experience with this age group?
- Are you Infant CPR/First Aid certified in New York, NY? Are you willing to be trained?
- How do you handle a crying baby?
- How often do you usually offer parents updates during the day?
- What do you feed an infant? At 0-3 months? 3-6 months? 6-9 months? 9-12 months?
- How do you set up the infant’s crib for a nap?
- What kind of activities will you plan to engage my baby?
You should be prepared with your references for past nanny jobs, and ideally, past infant jobs. Prior to the infant nanny interview, be sure to think about questions that you might have for the family. This is a great time to ask questions about the responsibilities and compensation for the infant nanny position. To make sure everyone has a shared understanding of the role and responsibilities, we recommend asking for a job offer or a nanny contract. By doing this, you can get off on the right foot with your future employer.
