Job Overview: Full-Time Nanny & Family Assistant (Brooklyn/Manhattan)

A busy household with three young children (ages 6 months, 4 years, and 5 years) is seeking a dedicated Full-Time Nanny/Family Assistant. This “hybrid” role is designed for a versatile professional who can balance high-quality infant care with the organizational needs of a fast-paced family home.

The ideal candidate is proactive, tidy, and comfortable working in a home with two cats. Because the household includes a newborn and two school-aged children, the family values someone who can jump in where needed—whether that is focused infant care or managing the general flow of the household.
