Job Overview: Premier Live-In Nanny (West Village, NYC)

A professional family in the heart of the West Village is seeking a dedicated, long-term Live-In Nanny to care for their three children: two girls (ages 4 and 3) and an infant boy (8 months old). This is a high-compensation, “deep-immersion” role for a career nanny who values stability and a structured environment.

The family provides a unique schedule designed to balance high-intensity weekday support with full weekend freedom. Notably, the staffing is structured so that the nanny is never responsible for more than two children at one time, ensuring a manageable and high-quality care environment.

Job Details & Responsibilities

Childcare & Routine

Focused Care: Manage daily routines for the 8-month-old during school hours while the older siblings are in class.
School Transition: Assist with the older children (ages 3 and 4) after their school day ends at 4:00 PM.
Nutritional Support: Prepare healthy snacks and meals for the children.
Evening Routine: Execute a calm and consistent bedtime routine, finishing the workday by 7:00 PM.

Living Situation & Schedule

Live-In Requirement: The nanny is required to stay at the West Village residence Monday through Friday nights.
Weekend Freedom: The nanny is off every Saturday morning and remains off until Monday morning.
Guaranteed Hours: 57.5 hours per week are guaranteed.

Qualifications & Requirements

Infant Experience: Strong background in infant care is essential, as the youngest child is under one year old.
Commitment: Looking for a candidate ready to commit to the family long-term.
Start Date: The family is ready for an ASAP start, but is flexible based on the right candidate’s availability.

Salary, Schedule & Benefits

Employer: Sittercity (Private Family) – Job ID: 14982
Weekly Pay: $2,012.00 (Gross).
Annual Salary: Approximately $104,624.00.
Payment Flexibility: Family can pay via professional payroll service or directly at the end of each week, per the nanny’s preference.
Schedule: Monday – Friday, 7:30 AM – 7:00 PM.

Why This Role?

This is a six-figure opportunity in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Manhattan. The compensation is highly competitive for a live-in role, especially considering that room and board are included. The “two-child maximum” rule is a significant professional perk, preventing the burnout often associated with three-child households. For a nanny who thrives in a live-in setting but wants their weekends completely free, this West Village placement is an industry standout.
