About the Family
This warm, established family lives on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and is looking for a long-term household professional to be a true partner in their home. They have one child - a 7-year-old boy - and a medium-sized dog. They value independence, reliability, and someone who brings genuine warmth and high standards to everything they do.
They are not looking for a babysitter. They are looking for a professional who takes pride in their craft - someone who can run the afternoon and household with confidence, creativity, and care.
About the Child
Their son is 7 years old, curious, and active. He thrives with a caregiver who encourages independence, gets him outside and exploring the city, and brings real energy to after-school time. He benefits from someone who plans ahead, keeps things moving, and genuinely enjoys being present with him.
Key Responsibilities
Childcare
• School pickup at approximately 3:00 PM
• Plan and coordinate engaging after-school activities and outings throughout NYC
• Encourage active, screen-free, curiosity-driven experiences
• Coordinate playdates, extracurriculars, and enrichment opportunities
• Assist with homework and evening routines
• Prepare healthy meals and snacks for the child
• Foster independence, creativity, and confidence in daily interactions
Household Management
• General household tidying and organization
• Family laundry and linen care
• Grocery shopping and household errands
• Meal prep for the child and family as needed
• Maintain overall cleanliness and household flow
• Daily walks and care for the family's medium-sized dog
Ideal Candidate
• Experienced with school-age children (ages 6-10 preferred)
• Independent, proactive, and highly organized - you don't wait to be told what needs doing
• Comfortable navigating NYC via walking, subway, and public transportation
• Energetic and genuinely enjoys spending time outdoors in the city
• A strong planner who can independently coordinate activities, schedules, and outings
• Comfortable with dogs and daily pet care responsibilities
• A confident cook and household multitasker
• Warm, engaging, and dependable
• Valid driver's license not required - NYC transit fluency is what matters
• CPR & First Aid certified (or willing to obtain prior to start)
• Non-smoker
• Authorized to work in the United States
• Previous experience in nanny/household manager hybrid roles - this is not an entry-level position
• Familiarity with NYC schools, activities, museums, parks, and enrichment opportunities
• Strong cooking and meal preparation skills - confident in the kitchen for both child and family
• Experience coordinating extracurricular schedules, playdates, and child-related logistics
• Strong, verifiable professional references
• Committed to a long-term placement
Why W-2 Matters
This position is fully legal and on the books. The family will provide a W-2 and comply with all applicable federal, New York State, and household employment laws - including overtime. This means you have real employment protections, documented income for loans and housing applications, and a professional employment record you can stand behind.
If you've been paid off the books before and want to work for a family who does it right - this is that family.
