Overview:A nanny/former teacher is sought for a busy family on the Upper East Side. Responsibilities will pertain to their sporty, independent 13-year-old daughter, and the family will guarantee 40 hours per week. Where these hours fall will vary throughout the year, depending on whether their daughter is at school/ off school/ at Summer camp, or off sick, etc. Typically, during the school year, the schedule will be 12 noon-8 pm. It will then switch to an earlier start (around 8/9 am) and finish (around 5/6 pm) during the school holidays, and when the daughter is off school for whatever reason. Candidates must be flexible to accommodate the sliding schedule.The family’s current nanny is relocating, and her last day will be Friday, October 24th, so ideally the candidate would start well before then to ensure a smooth transition.

  • School/activity drop off and pick up, specifically for swim training - the daughter is both academic and an athlete, swimming 6 days per week
  • On occasion, the candidate will be required to travel with the daughter in a proxy capacity (without either of the parents), so they must be comfortable doing this
