Upper Manhattan, NYC | Educationally-Minded Nanny/Family Assistant Wanted For Warm NYC Family

This warm, tight-knit family based in Upper Manhattan is seeking a vibrant and organized nanny/family assistant to join their team!

‍

• Location: Upper Manhattan, NYC
• Team structure: This role is part of a two-nanny household — in practice, you'll typically be caring for two children at a time, with responsibilities that shift naturally across the day as the children's schedules do.
• Start date: Ideally August 28, 2026
• Schedule: Full-time, guaranteeing 40 hours per week: Monday through Thursday, 1pm to 8pm preferred (12pm-7pm possible) and Friday from 7am to 6pm.
• Compensation:  The family is offering $45-50/hour commensurate with experience and background, which equates to an annualized base compensation of $93,600 - $104,000/year based on the 40-hour/week schedule.
• Benefits: The family is providing 10 paid time off, paid holidays, 5 paid sick/personal days, a $600/month health stipend, and an OMNY reimbursement as appropriate.
• Live-in/Live-out: Live-out.

‍

Household dynamic:

• This NYC family is excited to welcome an educationally-minded nanny to their team — someone who will help foster a positive, loving, and intellectually engaging environment for their children. Their children are academically inclined, and the family maintains a zero-screen-time home.
• Both parents work full-time and bring genuine respect for their nanny's expertise — offering space and trust to lead the day. The family keeps a Kosher kitchen - easily taught. The nanny/family assistant will work alongside a second nanny who works full days as well.

‍

Ideal candidate:

• This family is seeking a warm, experienced, and highly capable professional who brings a loving, proactive, and organized approach to their bustling home. Beyond being nurturing and dependable, the family is excited to meet candidates who offer:
• Educational and Musical Background: A teaching background is a plus, with an ability to support early literacy, numeracy, and curiosity-driven learning, as well as musical ability (instrumental or vocal) or instrument experience that can enrich the children's afternoons.
• Strong organizational skills: Confidence in maintaining children's spaces and belongings with care, handling kids' laundry and wardrobe organization, and ensuring play and learning areas are tidy and well-stocked.
• Family assistance: Prepping nutritious meals for the children, keeping groceries and household staples stocked, and coordinating busy after-school schedules.
• This is an exciting opportunity for a candidate who brings professional-level childcare and educational expertise and is eager to become a trusted partner in a respectful, collaborative, and joyful household.

‍

Qualifications:

• 5 years of professional childcare experience
• Knowledge and experience working with toddler through elementary-aged children
• Experience supporting children with homework or an educational background
• Willingness to support child-related family assisting responsibilities
• Experience caring for multiple children (2 or more)
• Living within a commutable distance of New York City
• CPR/First Aid (can be renewed upon hire)
• Partners, family members, and/or pets cannot be housed in any temporary or long-term accommodations provided by the family
• A Note on Health & Safety Requirements: To protect their household, the hiring family requires candidates to provide proof of standard vaccinations, including MMR, before scheduling an in-person trial or finalizing a job offer (subject to applicable laws and required accommodations).
