Job Description

A warm and sophisticated family residing in a 3,500-square-foot home in the West Village is looking for a dedicated Weekend Nanny to support their growing household. With two young children—a 9-month-old and a 2.5-year-old—the parents are seeking a professional who can maintain a structured, peaceful, and clean environment while they navigate their busy schedules.

This is not a typical babysitting gig; it is a professional domestic placement requiring a proactive individual who takes pride in their work. Your weekend begins Friday evening at 6:00 PM and concludes Sunday at 6:00 PM. During the school year, the role is based in the city, but as summer approaches, the position shifts to include travel. The ideal candidate must be excited about spending summer weekends in the Hamptons, where you will live with the family to provide consistent care.

The daily flow involves more than just supervision. You will be expected to plan stimulating educational activities that cater to both an infant and a toddler, ensuring they are hitting their developmental marks through play. While the home employs a chef and a housekeeper, you will manage all child-related tasks, including preparing their specific meals and keeping their zones organized. Because the family spends time near the water, being a strong, confident swimmer is a non-negotiable requirement for the safety of the children.

Personality-wise, the family values discretion and reliability above all else. They are looking for a “nanny’s nanny”—someone who is confident in their skills, naturally nurturing, and possesses the flexibility to adapt to the family’s changing needs. If you are a local New York caregiver looking for a lucrative, long-term weekend commitment that offers a blend of city and coastal living, this West Village family provides a respectful and professional environment to grow your career.
