Hudson Valley, NY | Private Accommodations | Travel Opportunities | Long-Term Role: The Opportunity
A warm, down-to-earth family is seeking an exceptional Live-In Nanny & Family Assistant to become an integral part of their household. Their beloved longtime nanny is preparing for a new chapter after many years with the family, creating a rare opportunity for a thoughtful, energetic, and proactive professional to step into a highly valued role.
This is far more than a traditional nanny position. The family is looking for someone who can serve as a trusted partner in daily life—someone who enjoys helping a busy household run smoothly, loves engaging with children of all ages, and naturally steps in wherever support is needed.
The ideal candidate brings positive energy, strong initiative, excellent judgment, and a genuine desire to build a long-term relationship with a wonderful family.
About the Family
The family has four children ranging from preschool age through the teenage years. The older children are active, independent, and involved in sports, extracurricular activities, and social lives, while the youngest child requires the majority of hands-on support.
The family values kindness, respect, curiosity, and strong family connections. They maintain a warm household atmosphere and are seeking someone who will feel like an extension of the family while maintaining professionalism and healthy boundaries.  
Schedule

• Full-time, live-in position
• Generally begins between 8:00-9:00 AM
• Two days off per week
• Flexibility required based on school schedules, travel, and family needs
• Long-term commitment strongly preferred  

Responsibilities: Childcare & Family Support

• Primary care and engagement for the youngest child
• School pickups, activity transportation, and logistical support
• Planning enriching outings, activities, and adventures
• Assisting with homework, routines, and daily transitions
• Serving as a positive role model and mentor

Family Assistant Duties

• Light household organization and tidying
• Assisting with meal preparation and dinner support
• Running occasional errands
• Maintaining children's spaces and belongings
• Helping coordinate the daily flow of the household
• Anticipating needs and taking initiative without constant direction

Travel

• Travel with the family throughout the year
• Comfortable accompanying the family to vacation properties and holiday destinations
• Flexible and adaptable in new environments  

The Ideal Candidate
The family is seeking someone who is:

• Energetic, capable, and highly proactive
• An excellent driver with a clean driving record
• Comfortable supporting children from preschool age through the teen years
• Organized, intuitive, and solutions-oriented
• Warm, personable, and easy to have around
• Professional while maintaining a relaxed, approachable presence
• Interested in becoming a meaningful long-term part of a family's support system
• Comfortable around dogs and an active household environment  

The right person understands that great nannying often means noticing what needs to be done before being asked and finding joy in helping a household thrive.
Accommodations
The nanny will be provided with a private living space on the property, offering both comfort and independence while remaining conveniently located for work responsibilities. The accommodations include a private bedroom and dedicated living area, creating an ideal balance between personal space and family integration.  
Compensation & Benefits

• $40-$45 per hour DOE
• Guaranteed hours
• Health insurance or healthcare stipend
• Paid vacation
• Paid sick time
• Legal payroll (W-2 employment)
• Travel expenses covered when traveling for work
• Long-term stability with a highly respectful family

The family understands the value of an exceptional caregiver and is prepared to offer a competitive compensation package for the right person.  
Why This Position Stands Out
This is an opportunity to join a family that genuinely values its caregivers. Their previous nanny remained with them for many years, and they are hoping to find someone who is looking for more than just a job—someone seeking a meaningful role where they can build relationships, contribute to a happy household, and become a trusted member of the family's village.
