Creative Performing Arts Family Seeking a Warm, Engaged Nanny for Two School-Aged Children
Start Date: August 25–September 1, 2025
Schedule: Monday–Thursday, 1:00 PM–9:00 PM; Friday, 12:30 PM–8:30 PM
Compensation: $30–$45/hr DOE + guaranteed 40 hours/week + full benefits
A warm, creative, and performing arts–centered family on the Upper West Side is seeking their next great teammate—a professional, playful, and loving nanny to support their two incredible children (ages 4 and 8). This is a family that does things right—they offer stability, kindness, a clear schedule, and a collaborative work environment characterized by mutual respect and open communication. The family recently relocated and has long-standing relationships with their past nannies (including one staying on for weekend coverage). They’re now seeking someone who’s excited to become part of their weekday rhythm, while also offering some extra flexibility when the unexpected pops up.
Why This Role Stands Out: The position will often work less hours than scheduled, but the family is guaranteeing 40 hours/week of pay to allow for occasional schedule shifts, date nights, or the occasional school closure. This gives the nanny security—and gives the family peace of mind. It's the best of both worlds.
Responsibilities: - School pickups (all schools within walking distance)
- Escorting the children to after-school activities (Taekwondo, dance, playdates)
- Creating fun, imaginative play at home and outdoors
- Prepping simple meals
- Helping with bathtime and bedtime routines
- Light child-related tidying and kitchen clean-up at end of shift
- Occasional errands or light organizational tasks
- Optional travel (not required, but welcomed if interested)
The Dream Candidate Is: - Energetic, warm, and emotionally intuitive
- Honest, trustworthy, and a natural communicator who enjoys being hands-on and silly with kids
- Organized but flexible, with a great sense of humor and calm under pressure
- Experienced with ages 4+ and navigating city life with children
- Interested in joining a creative, fun-loving family for the long run
- Someone who sees childcare as a meaningful, joyful role—not just a job
- Legally authorized to work in the U.S. and fluent in English
Compensation & Perks: - $30–$45/hour depending on experience
- 40 hours/week guaranteed pay (whether all hours are used or not)
- W-2 payroll via a professional business manager
- Health Stipend (medical reimbursement)
- Paid vacation, sick time, holidays, and overtime
- A kind, communicative family that treats their employees with care and appreciation
This is a fun, thoughtful household where creativity is encouraged, personalities are welcomed, and the kids genuinely love their nannies. This family hopes to find someone who will confidently and lovingly fit into their team and help their kids feel seen and safe. If you’re looking for a warm, well-supported position where you can make a real connection—this could be your next happy place.
