Household dynamic:

• This friendly and organized family of four is looking for a nanny/family assistant to join their household team and care for their two energetic and creative children. Their 6-year-old daughter is very active; she enjoys swimming, climbing, biking, roller skating, and creating art. She loves to paint and draw and is currently in kindergarten. Their son, at almost 2 years old, is a curious toddler who loves his sister, and the two of them play together constantly. The family also has a beloved dog.
• The family splits their time between California and New York City, with additional travel during the summer months to various US destinations. Their home is their sanctuary and values a peaceful, team-oriented environment where everyone feels supported and respected. Both parents are hands-on with their children’s lives and view their household team as an extension of their family. With two other full-time nannies, a chef, and a housekeeper, the household operates on the principle of communication, mutual respect, and shared care for the children and family. Their tight-knit nanny team collaborates closely, often with multiple nannies on duty at the same time. This is a close-knit family that fosters a warm, professional home environment and is looking for someone who can easily integrate into their team to help round out their care team.

Ideal candidate:

• This position is ideal for a professional, grounded, and emotionally mature nanny or family assistant who brings a dependable, light, and easy-going demeanor. The family is looking for someone who is focused on child development and emotionally attuned to support both children. The ideal candidate will engage with the kids to keep them on track, provide kind and gentle guidance, ensure they have fun, and help them developmentally progress.
• The family is very much about teamwork and is looking for someone who understands the dynamics of working in a vibrant, fast-moving home. Their home is their sanctuary, and they need someone who respects personal space, reads the room well, and brings a positive, drama-free presence. Someone respectful, has a good sense of boundaries, and knows how to step in and out when needed, will thrive in this role. The perfect fit is a nanny/family assistant who is a true team player and a self-starter who can take direct direction from the parents and fellow staff. The family is seeking a proactive, thoughtful, and collaborative nanny/family assistant who has a see-the-need, fill-the-need approach and enjoys bringing ideas to the table when appropriate. An adaptable, travel-ready nanny/family assistant who is a quick learner, travel-savvy, and can be a consistent, supportive presence at home and on the road will be a wonderful fit. The family invests strongly in the people they work with and has great longevity on their team. They are excited to welcome a candidate who is seeking a long-term role and is ready to support a dynamic, team-oriented household as a consistent, valued member of the family.
• Responsibilities include creating an environment for the children to grow and thrive, child-related household tasks, including but not limited to meal prep, tidying, organizing children’s areas, occasional errands, before and after school routines, coordinating activities, and traveling with the family throughout the year.
