Overview
A wonderful family in lower Manhattan (a returning client of BAHS) are seeking a temporary, live-out nanny for their two children, aged 2.5 and 5.5-years, from August 28th through September 15th inclusive. The schedule will be Monday through Friday, from 8am-6pm, and candidates will also be required to work Labor Day at 1.5 x their base hourly rate. The candidate will be providing temporary cover for the nanny we placed with them earlier this year.
Responsibilities
- Responsibilities will pertain to the care and development of the children, to include their laundry, meal/snack/packed lunch prep, keeping their play areas/bedrooms tidy, planning play-dates and activities etc.
- Both children attend school (a walk from their home) from 9am-11:45am and 8:45am-2:45pm respectively. During this time candidates would be expected to help with meal/snack/lunch box prep, organizing their closets/play areas, prepping dinner, and creating activities for the children to do in the afternoon.
Qualifications
- Candidates should be professional, warm, and intentional, really getting down on the children's level and engaging them.
- Candidates should ideally have a relevant educational background, such as Child Development, Early Childhood Education or other/equivalent specialized experience.
- The parents do spend time away from the children once per quarter, and the children’s grandparents typically stay during those periods (generally no longer than 4 nights), so candidates must be comfortable working collaboratively with extended family.
Requirements
- The family are not proponents of regular screen time, typically only allowing this after dinner and bath time, when they sit down with the children themselves and enjoy some snuggle/TV time.
- The family are warm, kind, and informal, but they do appreciate candidates respecting boundaries.
- Both parents work, though are hands-on as much as possible when they are home, so candidates should know when to step-up and when to step back and keep busy doing other things while the parents spend quality time with the children.
