A warm, welcoming, and down-to-earth family in Port Washington / Sands Point is seeking an energetic, organized, and reliable Nanny / Family Assistant to support their two school-age children and assist with light household needs.

The ideal candidate is confident managing school routines, enjoys engaging children through play and creativity, and is comfortable supporting different learning styles and personalities.
About the Family

• 9-year-old son: Smart, kind, and curious. Loves baseball, superheroes, and reading. He has ADHD (both inattentive and hyperactive) and benefits from a caregiver who is patient, structured, calm, and encouraging—especially during transitions and moments of frustration.
• 5-year-old daughter: Creative, sassy, sweet, and affectionate. She loves art projects and playing with dolls. Academic support is primarily focused on her, especially helping read and understand directions and guiding her through age-appropriate learning activities.
• Family dog: Bowie, a friendly 40 lb Cavapoo who is very much part of daily life (dog lovers are a big plus).
• Household: Jewish family; respectful awareness of traditions and values is appreciated.
