About the role
Overview
A busy family of four on the Upper East Side is seeking an educated ROTA nanny for their daughters, ages 4 and 2. The schedule is a 7 day on/7 day off rotation- the nanny will need to provide full availability during their 7-day shift. Some flexibility is needed for longer rotations during travel, with approximately one month notice of any changes. The family has an apartment nearby for the nannies to share during their working shifts, so this role could be considered live-in or live-out, though candidates must be able to commute home on their off weeks, and the family will not pay for candidates to fly in/out. The nanny must have a child-related degree and the position will be very focused on the children's educational development.
