We need a a live-in-nanny for our three year old daughter, Charlotte. We work out of town and come home for Sundays, Holidays, and important events, but we are pretty busy so she would be in your care most of the time. She is Deaf so knowing ASL would be great, but if you do not then ASL classes would be mandatory (but paid for). She is also autistic, no experience required but you must be patient and kind. Charlotte loves to play and so you just be energetic and ready for a full day of activities. You would work monday-saturday, 8-9. Days off and emergencies are expected so we just need at least a weeks notice(if it's an emergency then we understand if it is last minute). We go on a few vacations a year so it would be nice if you could come, but it is not required. Some perks are you would have your own room, private bathroom, access to our in-home cook, a gym membership, and access to a car that we would like you to use to transport Charlotte (gas would be paid for). Responsibilities would be taking Charlotte to sports, the park, her doctors appointments, and any other activities she may have. You MUST be First Aid and CPR certified and have a valid license with a clean driving history. Background checks will be mandatory and random drug tests. We have a German Shepherd service dog and 2 cats so you must be comfortable with animals. Also we have no room for hate in our home so no homophobia, racism, xenophobia, transphobia, etc..Serious inquiries only! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. We look forward to hearing from you!

NANNY/ COMPANION/ FRIEND FOR OUR 16 Y.O. GIRL WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
PLEASE BE RELIABLE AND RESPONSIBLE
Looking for a warm, dependable after-school companion for our 16-year-old daughter, who has special needs. We live on the Upper East Side.
She is independent, fully mobile, and verbal, though not conversational. We're hoping to find someone patient, kind, energetic, and responsible who is genuinely interested in building a trusting, long-term relationship with her.
The role: spending afternoons with her, playing video games, going with her to classes and activities, and taking her to movies, shows, and other outings. Some occasional evening availability helps too.
**Schedule:**
- Monday to Friday, 2 to 7 p.m.
- School holidays and breaks, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
- Occasional evenings, arranged in advance
Given these hours, this position likely isn't a good fit for college students unless they're studying remotely.
This is a long-term position with competitive pay, guaranteed hours, paid vacation, and extra pay for major federal holidays.
Special-needs experience is a strong plus, but patience, good judgment, reliability, and a caring personality matter most. Fluent English is required.
