We are a loving warm family with three fantastic energetic boys. We live on the upper east side and love to play in the park, have dance parties, play sports, arts and crafts, and a lot of puzzles! Dinosaurs, Transformers, Sharks and Firetrucks are big winners with this crowd.
We are looking for an occasional weekend babysitter who has had 5+ years of experience with small kids, especially with boys and babies. We have an almost 5yr old, a 2.5yr old, and a 6m old. Someone who can be flexible with hours, but reliable to be available for most Saturday and Sundays anywhere from 9am to 6pm (or late if we go out).

We need someone who is very kind, energetic, plays a lot, creative, with a very happy demeanor. Someone who will actively engage with and care for our kids, coming up with pretend play ideas, outdoor games, or crafts projects, taking them to the playground or museums, assisting with meal times, etc.

The schedule has yet to be decided, as it changes weekend to weekend, but we would love for it be a consistent relationship for our family and for this person to become someone our kids can adore and rely on.

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.
