Job Overview: High-Comp Live-In Nanny (Manhattan & International)

A hard-working, professional family based in Manhattan is seeking a dedicated Live-In Nanny to support their growing household. This is a high-responsibility role requiring a six-day-a-week commitment, specifically caring for an 8-month-old infant and a 3-year-old toddler.

The family employs another nanny who manages the older child, meaning you will rarely be responsible for all three children simultaneously. This position is ideal for a career nanny who enjoys being a part of a staffed household and is eager to accompany a family on international travels.

Job Details & Responsibilities

Childcare & Development

Primary Care: Provide full-cycle care for an 8-month-old (feedings, naps, hygiene) and a 3-year-old (play, early learning, routines).
Teamwork: Coordinate daily schedules with the second nanny to ensure the household runs smoothly.
Travel: Accompany the family on international trips, providing consistent care while abroad.

Logistics & Requirements

Legal Status: Must be legally authorized to travel internationally (valid passport and necessary visas).
Experience: Proven experience managing the infant/toddler age gap in a high-standard or staffed household.
Demeanor: Hard-working, professional, and capable of maintaining a 64-hour weekly work schedule.

Salary, Schedule & Benefits

Employer: Abigail Madison Agency (Job Code: 7087alt)
Location: Manhattan, NY (Live-In)
Weekly Salary: $2,000 – $2,100 per week.
Estimated Annual Salary: $104,000 – $109,200 annually.
Schedule: Monday – Saturday (6 days per week).
- Mon–Fri: 11-hour shifts.
- Saturday: Half-day (Finish at 4:00 PM).
- Total Hours: 64 hours per week.

Why This Role?

This is a premier Manhattan placement offering a six-figure salary and the opportunity for global travel. While the hours are significant (64 per week), the Saturday early-release at 4:00 PM provides a consistent window for personal time. Working alongside another nanny also provides a collaborative environment where responsibilities are clearly defined, reducing the pressure of managing three young children alone.

Application Information

Interested candidates should apply through Sittercity or contact the agency directly at Abigailmadisonagency@gmail.com using Job Code 7087alt. Ensure you mention your readiness for international travel and your experience with infants and toddlers in your initial outreach.
