Position Details:
A single father based in the West Village / Union Square area of Manhattan is seeking a highly experienced, live-in nanny to care for his newborn (expected end of May).

This is a long-term opportunity for a nurturing, dedicated professional who is excited to grow with the family.

Family Overview:
The father maintains residences in Manhattan, upstate New York, and a studio in Brooklyn. While the primary residence is in Manhattan, some travel between homes may be required.

• Support developmental milestones through age-appropriate activities
• Keep nursery and child-related areas clean and organized
• Travel with the family as needed between residences (Manhattan, upstate NY, occasional Brooklyn stays)
• Communicate regularly with the father regarding the child’s progress, needs, and schedule

Ideal Candidate:

• Extensive experience caring for newborns and infants
• Warm, nurturing, and highly attentive to a child’s needs
• Seeking a long-term role and excited to grow with the family
• Flexible, discreet, and adaptable to a dynamic household
• Comfortable working in a fully staffed home and collaborating with other caregivers
• Comfortable around dogs
• French or Mandarin speaking is strongly preferred

Requirements:

• Minimum 5+ years of professional nanny experience, with strong newborn expertise
• Excellent references
• Willingness to live in and travel as needed
• Legal authorization to work in the United States
• CPR/First Aid certification (or willingness to obtain)

Schedule & Compensation:

• Schedule: Typically Monday–Friday, with flexibility for occasional Monday–Saturday coverage
• Live-in accommodations provided
• Salary: $80,000–$90,000 annually, based on experience

This is a wonderful opportunity to join a supportive and well-organized household at the very beginning of a child’s life, with the chance to build a meaningful, long-term relationship with both the child and parent.
