Live-out Nanny and Family Assistant needed in Brooklyn - Ref. #FTG2810
A caring, mindful, and positive family of 4 in Fort Greene, Brooklyn is seeking a live-out nanny. Their children are 5 and 2, full of curiosity, and lots of fun! The schedule will be Monday-Friday 12-6pm, but Fridays can be off if less hours are desired, or if full-time hours are desired, the schedule could also be 10-6pm if the right person desires to take on household tasks and errands. Family believes in positive behavior approach, lots of conversation, and logical consequences… “Connect and redirect.”
The ideal nanny is someone who is reliable, thoughtful and sensitive, noticing the children’s tiny nuances in moods and curiosities to extend their learning. Someone who is playful, positive, and emotionally intelligent will fit the family very well! Nanny will be responsible for strong communication with the parents to facilitate a collaborative relationship, as well as care related to children including laundry, meal preparation, transporting to and from school and activities, playdates and organizing activities. While not required, it is a plus if someone can travel, drive, or swim. Occasional overnight care is a big plus, when possible.
