A little bit about us
We're a pregnant stay-at-home mom and a 17-month-old boy on the Upper West Side. We need someone who can take real ownership of the day: childcare, healthy meals, laundry, household organization, groceries and errands, and help through postpartum once the baby arrives. Hours will be full-time weekdays and should grow with the second child. This is a long-term role.
We're looking for someone warm, proactive, and highly organized who genuinely likes being with little kids. Professional childcare experience is required, especially with infants and toddlers. A college degree is required. A background in teaching, education, psychology, or child development is a big plus. CPR/First Aid and non-smoker required. Spanish is a plus, not required. Strong references (or 5-star reviews) matter a lot to us.
The right person is educated, energetic, and looking for a full-time role they can grow into with our family, not occasional babysitting. If that sounds like you, please send a short note about your recent families, your weekday availability, and when you can start.

A little bit about us
We're a family on the Upper East Side looking for a warm, capable, and highly organized person to join us full-time as both caregiver to our two daughters (ages 9 and 10) and manager of our home. This is a long-term position and we're hoping to find someone who wants to grow with our family.
The girls are independent and don't need constant supervision — what they need is someone to steward their afternoons. That means homework, snacks, activities, getting them to and from where they need to be, and generally keeping their world in order until I'm home from work.
The rest of the day is home management. Meal prep for the family, housekeeping and daily tidying, errands, and ongoing organization — seasonal closet rotations, keeping the girls' rooms sorted as sizes and toys change, and staying ahead of the things that pile up when no one is watching them.
Our mornings start early, so we need a genuine morning person who's ready to go from the first bell. We're in the city, so confidence navigating the subway with kids is essential. No driving required.
Who thrives in this role: someone who moves fluidly between tasks and takes real ownership of the household rather than waiting to be assigned each thing. If you see the laundry basket, the empty fridge, and the outgrown winter coats without being told, we will get along well. Kind with kids, discreet, and reliable are non-negotiable.
What we offer: a genuinely warm household, clear communication, respect for your time, and a family that treats this as a professional role with room to shape how things run.
**Details:** Full-time, 40 hours/week, live-out. Upper East Side, Manhattan. Start date September (some flexibility for the right person). Compensation discussed during the interview process — we pay competitively and on the books.
Please reach out with a bit about yourself and your experience with school-age children. References required.

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.
