KO746 - Weekend Nanny - TriBeCa, NY

Overview

A warm, busy, and active family in Tribeca is seeking an exceptional weekend nanny to join our team and help care for three wonderful girls, ages 2, 3, and 5. This is an ideal opportunity for a highly experienced nanny who is equally comfortable providing hands-on childcare and taking ownership of the organization and smooth operation of a busy household. You will work closely with another nanny and coordinate with weekday staff and other household employees. This position is primarily a weekend role, generally 7:00 AM–7:00 PM, with overnight stays as needed.

The family sometimes travels during the week and may occasionally swap responsibilities with weekday staff, so flexibility is essential. The ideal candidate should not have a separate weekday job that would prevent them from being available when the family's schedule changes.

Overnights will be required on some Friday and Saturday nights, either in NYC or at the family's country home.

During the summer, the position becomes live-in, and the nanny will accompany the family on some of their extended vacations.

The family travels frequently, including 2–3 extended international or domestic trips each year of approximately two weeks, as well as additional travel during the week. The ideal candidate is therefore highly flexible and genuinely enjoys traveling with a family.
