A little bit about us
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!

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.
