The nanny will provide attentive care while the parents step out, including evening coverage, offering snuggles and gentle engagement. The family hopes to work with someone who can facilitate play with their child and be a comforting, steady presence for him.

Trips may be planned or occasionally happen on short notice, and the family appreciates someone who can be an adaptable support as plans evolve. The nanny will join the family on select trips and help support the family’s transition to their new home in NYC while maintaining a calm, grounded presence for their child during this time.
