Overview
A kind family in the West Village is seeking a rotational nanny for their infant and 3-year-old. The start date is flexible for the perfect fit. The general daily schedule will be wake-up to bedtime and the nannies will work on a 7-day rotation. Flexibility will be needed for night-time coverage and longer travel, so a 24/7 on-call mindset is required during the shift. While on duty, private accommodation will be provided in a nearby apartment and the nanny will go back to their home base while off-duty. The parents hope to find a career nanny who can engage their children in developmentally appropriate and educational activities and stay with the family long-term. They are looking for a true "toddler whisperer" who is excited to work as a team-mate with them and who is confident in guiding them through upcoming stages and phases.
