Job Overview: Full-Time Professional Nanny (New York, NY)

A warm, welcoming family is looking for a dedicated Full-Time Nanny to care for their 7-month-old infant. The family is seeking a “sensitive, fun, and easygoing” partner who is also thorough and proactive in fostering their child’s growth.

This position is ideal for a career nanny who enjoys the infant stage and values a collaborative relationship with parents. While not a requirement, the family has a preference for a French speaker, making this an excellent opportunity for a bilingual educator or caregiver.

Job Details & Responsibilities

Infant Care & Development

Comprehensive Care: Manage all aspects of daily care for a 7-month-old, including feedings, diapering, and nap transitions.
Developmental Play: Create and lead age-appropriate activities that support motor skills, sensory exploration, and early language milestones.
Routine Management: Follow the parents’ established schedule while providing professional, thoughtful input to optimize the baby’s day.

Household Maintenance

Child-Related Housekeeping: Handle light tasks strictly related to the baby, such as cleaning bottles, organizing the nursery, and managing the infant’s laundry.
Proactive Upkeep: Ensure play areas remain tidy and safe throughout the day.

Qualifications & Requirements

Demeanor: Must be sensitive to the baby’s needs, fun, and proactive.
Language: French language skills are a significant plus, though not mandatory.
Reliability: Ability to maintain a consistent 50-hour work week.
Flexibility: Willingness to provide occasional date-night coverage with advance notice.

Salary, Schedule & Benefits

Employer: Sittercity (Private Family)
Location: New York, NY
Hourly Rate: $30.00 per hour.
Schedule: Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM (50 hours per week).
Estimated Annual Salary: Due to the 50-hour work week (including 10 hours of overtime at time-and-a-half), the gross annual salary is approximately $85,800.
Benefits: * 3 weeks paid vacation.
- Health insurance (to be discussed/implemented over time).

Why This Role?

At $30 per hour with guaranteed overtime, this role offers a strong middle-market salary for a single-child household. The 3-week vacation package is more generous than the standard 2-week NYC average, and the potential for health insurance coverage provides long-term professional security. The 7-month-old age is a delightful time to join a family, as the child begins to explore solids and reach major mobility milestones.

Application Information

Interested candidates should apply through Sittercity. If you are a French speaker, be sure to highlight this immediately in your application. You should also emphasize your experience with the 6–12 month “transition” period and your comfort level with established routines.
