PART-TIME AFTERNOON NANNYUpper West Side, Manhattan | Infant & Child Development Focus
A warm, close-knit family on the Upper West Side of Manhattan is seeking an experienced, nurturing, and energetic Part-Time Afternoon Nanny to join their household in November 2026.
The family has two children: a baby girl born in June 2026 and a son who will turn six in October. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced infant nanny or professional nanny who loves working with babies and is passionate about child development.
The afternoon nanny will work alongside the family’s established full-time nanny. The primary responsibility will be caring for the infant while the full-time nanny focuses on the older child after school. The family has a strong, trusting relationship with their current nanny and is looking for someone who will become a collaborative and dependable member of their childcare team.
The mother works a hybrid schedule and is home much of the week, so the ideal candidate will be comfortable working closely with parents and another nanny while maintaining clear, professional communication.

• Follow the family’s established infant schedule and routines, including feeding, naps, play, and developmental activities.

• Receive and bring household or child-related deliveries into the apartment and unpack as needed.
• Provide additional childcare coverage when the full-time nanny is sick or unavailable, or when the older child is out of school or camp.
• Occasionally provide additional weekday or weekend coverage with advance notice and based on availability.
