Family Overview
The family resides in Hudson Square, NYC. They lead a dynamic lifestyle and have one child who is 4. Their child is energetic, imaginative, and socially outgoing—she thrives in creative environments and enjoys engaging activities such as art projects and museum visits. The family values creativity, flexibility, warmth, and open communication. They also have a sweet, low-maintenance Labradoodle named Blue. 
 
The family is seeking a warm, easygoing, creative, and proactive weekend nanny who flourishes in a flexible environment filled with music and art. The ideal candidate will be a “morning hero” who can step in early for early mornings, 7 am wake-up, and breakfast time, someone who facilitates smooth transitions throughout the day, and who integrates easily into a relaxed yet stimulating household. They should possess strong communication skills, be confident in independently managing routines, and have a gentle yet upbeat presence. A love for children’s creativity, an openness to travel, and the ability to adapt are must-haves.

• Light meal prep  (soft-boiled eggs, pasta, snacks)
• Engage with creative, hands-on, screen-free play and projects (arts, crafts, pretend play)
• Maintain a calm and helpful presence during weekends—no expectation to take full-day solo care, as the family is very present and hands-on

Schedule & Flexibility

• Typical Weekend Hours: Friday evening through Sunday evening (approx. 25–26 hrs/weekend)
• Flexibility Required: Some weekends may begin Friday morning, especially for travel to the Hamptons or upstate NY; other weekends may be fully off but still paid
