Overview
A warm and loving Tribeca couple is excited to welcome an experienced, confident, and deeply nurturing nanny to their family starting February 2nd. With extended family close by, their home is joyful, supportive, and full of love — the perfect setting for a true long-term childcare partnership. They are seeking a caring, professional nanny for their sweet baby girl who will be approximately 3.5 months old at the start. The parents deeply value a calm, disciplined, organized, and happy environment and are looking for someone who will love and care for their daughter as if she were their own.The primary focus is exceptional, attentive, and responsive infant care — engaging with baby’s needs, maintaining gentle routines, and supporting her growth and development with warmth and expertise. Light household support (strictly secondary, only during work hours and while baby is in your care) includes keeping common areas tidy, baby & family laundry, unloading the dishwasher, occasional simple family meal prep, and light errands (mail/packages, etc.). This is a wonderful opportunity for a seasoned, big-hearted nanny seeking a genuine, long-term family connection.
