Household Dynamic:

• This adventurous, fun-loving family is excited to welcome an engaging, proactive, and travel-ready nanny/family assistant to join their dynamic household! They have two spirited children—a curious 3-year-old daughter and an energetic 5-year-old son who thrives on creative play. He especially enjoys drawing, chess, soccer, and skiing. The ideal candidate will bring joyful energy and a genuine passion for interactive activities while providing thoughtful structure and organization to help the household run seamlessly and harmoniously.
• The family splits their time between their homes in New York City, upstate New York, and Costa Rica. They typically spend weekdays in upstate New York during the summer, return to the city in the fall, and are often based in Costa Rica from January through May or June. Travel is a significant part of the role. In addition to their seasonal stays, the family enjoys taking ski vacations and visiting Mexico. An on-the-go nanny/family assistant who transitions smoothly between homes and locations and brings a consistent, supportive presence for the family will be a perfect fit! The family fosters a supportive and team-oriented spirit at home and considers their nanny a member of their family.

Ideal candidate:

• This position is ideal for a proactive, bright, and travel-ready nanny/family assistant who finds genuine joy in caring for and connecting with two cheerful children! For this family, play is the top priority. They’re looking for someone who thrives in dynamic, ever-evolving environments and delights in engaging kids through hands-on, enriching activities, whether it’s jumping into a game, diving into the pool, grabbing art supplies, roasting marshmallows, or planning a full day of creative fun.

A true team player who embraces a “see-a-need, fill-a-need” mindset and is eager to support the family with both childcare and family assisting duties will thrive in this collaborative, high-energy household.
