Overview
A lovely family with two working parents on the Upper West Side is seeking a bilingual education-minded and engaging live-in or live-out nanny for their infant.
The family also has an older child- they attend school full-time and have their own afternoon caregiver, but the nanny will accompany them to school in the morning and occasionally care for them if they're out of school.
The schedule will be Monday through Friday from 7am to 7pm, with very rare flexibility needed for a date night. The nanny can be live-in or live-out, depending on their preference.
A live-in nanny will be provided their own private bedroom and bathroom. The family also has a home on Long Island (approximately 3 hours from the UWS) where the nanny will occasionally be required to work.
