Overview
A high-profile family based on the Upper East Side are seeking a flexible part-time nanny for their 2 children, aged 10 and 12 years. The schedule will require a vast amount of flexibility on the part of the candidate, but days and hours will generally be every Monday and Tuesday, alternating Thursdays and Fridays and then either a Saturday or a Sunday. Hours will typically be 2:30pm-6:30/7pm on these days and the family will guarantee a minimum of 20 hours per week - more if candidates require this. There will be roughly 1-2 weeks of travel required in the Summer and Winter seasons, as well as overnights in the City. Mom is a TV host and, as such, hours are likely to shift around depending on her schedule, so this is not a role for those candidates seeking a predictable schedule.
Responsibilities
- Some homework help (what doesn't get done during tutoring)
- Accompanying to activities
- Assist with skill-building( chores, independent activities)

- Team player mentality - this is a semi-staffed home and the candidate will work with other staff that care for and support the girls
- Pivoting and adapting in a changing environment while still being able to keep routines going with girls
- There is a full-time chef so no cooking is required
Qualifications
- Candidates must be confident role models and team-players, ideally with a background in Special Education or experience of behavior/boundary management, and the ability to deliberately, consistently, and respectfully instill discipline, etiquette, and manners.
- The nanny will be working as a team with a behavior/ABA specialist, who has been with the family for multiple years.
Requirements
- US passport, Green Card or EAC
- Passport ready and willing to travel, if required
- Available to start ASAP
- Must be comfortable with a dog, 4 cats, a snake, and a lizard, but these will not be the nanny's responsibility
