Job Overview: Weekend Nanny (Tribeca & The Hamptons)

A “very kind and sweet” family based in Tribeca is seeking a loving, long-term Weekend Nanny to care for their 3-year-old and 6-month-old. This position follows the family to the Hamptons during the summer months, offering a consistent schedule of 49–50 weekends per year.

The family values a “screen-free” environment and is looking for a nanny who is highly interactive, patient, and proactive in fostering a playful atmosphere. While the home has a friendly dog, the nanny is not responsible for pet care. This role offers the unique flexibility of being live-in for most weekends, with the option to occasionally live-out if preferred.

Job Details & Responsibilities

Interactive Childcare

Dual-Age Care: Provide hands-on care for both an infant (6 months) and a toddler (3 years), balancing their differing developmental needs.
Engagement: Lead play-based activities, reading, and outdoor time without the use of screens or television.
Patience & Kindness: Maintain a gentle, supportive presence as an extension of the family’s “very kind” household culture.

Household Support

Meal Prep: Prepare healthy snacks and nutritious meals specifically for the children.
Child-Related Housekeeping: Manage the children’s laundry and ensure play areas and bedrooms remain tidy.
Organization: Maintain a structured flow for the children’s weekend routines.

Qualifications & Requirements

Experience: Recent professional experience with both infants and toddlers is essential.
Personality: Must be “highly sweet,” interactive, and exceptionally patient.
Commitment: Looking for a long-term partner available for nearly every weekend of the year (49–50 weeks).
Attributes: Proactive, organized, and comfortable in a “no-screens” household.

Salary, Schedule & Benefits

Employer: Abigail Madison Agency (Job Code: kmw989)
Location: Tribeca (Manhattan) & The Hamptons (Summer/Weekends).
Flat Rate: $1,100 per weekend for 3 full days.
Schedule: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (7:00 AM – 7:00 PM).
Overtime: Opportunities for extra pay for working later on Saturdays.
Estimated Annual Salary: Approximately $53,900 – $55,000 for weekend-only work.

Why This Role?

This is a premier weekend placement for a nanny who prefers a “concentrated” work week. At $1,100 for three days, the pay is highly competitive for the NYC/Hamptons market. The family’s emphasis on being “very kind” and “very nice” suggests a low-stress, respectful working environment. Additionally, the ability to choose between live-in and live-out status provides a level of autonomy rarely found in Hamptons-based weekend roles.

Application Information

Qualified candidates should email the Abigail Madison Agency directly at Abigailmadisonagency@gmail.com referencing Job Code: kmw989. Be sure to highlight your specific experience with the 6-month to 3-year age gap and your commitment to a screen-free environment.
