About the Family

A warm, welcoming family in Park Slope is seeking an experienced nanny to become a valued, long-term partner in caring for their child. Both parents have demanding careers with schedules that require flexibility. They are deeply involved in their child’s life and prioritize spending as much time with her as possible.

The household is supported by a housekeeper and assistant, creating a collaborative environment where open communication, professionalism, and teamwork are highly valued. The ideal candidate is proactive, dependable, and comfortable working both independently and alongside other household staff.

Position Overview

The schedule is Monday through Friday with 50+ guaranteed hours per week. Typical hours will include mornings, late afternoons, and evenings, with flexibility needed based on the family’s work schedules. Additional hours may be needed during especially busy work periods, and additional Saturday morning hours are available to interested candidates.

The nanny’s primary responsibility will be caring for the family’s energetic 2.5-year-old daughter. As their daughter begins preschool 3 days per week this fall, the schedule will typically include a break between approximately 9-3pm. Daily responsibilities include managing routines, preschool drop-off and pick-up, planning engaging activities and playdates, preparing healthy meals and snacks, children’s laundry, and supporting bath and bedtime routines. The family employs a housekeeper, so only light childcare-related household responsibilities are expected.

Accommodations

The family lives in a four-story brownstone. The nanny will have a private bedroom and dedicated bathroom, along with access to a separate loft area that can be used as a private space during personal time.
