Hourly Girl Friday Jobs (NOW HIRING)

NEW YORK, NY (Upper West Side) - An exceptional Upper West Side family is seeking a warm, engaging, and collaborative career nanny to join their long-term childcare team. This is a unique opportunity to become one half of a thoughtfully structured two-nanny team in a household that genuinely values its caregivers as trusted professionals. Rather than being solely responsible for all four children, the role is intentionally designed so that each nanny is typically caring for one or two children at a time, allowing for meaningful one-on-one engagement while working together during the afternoon and evening routines.

The family is open to one of two schedules based on the candidate's preference:

• 40 guaranteed hours per week: Monday through Thursday afternoons (1:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. preferred, though 12:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m. is also possible), plus Fridays from 7:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m.
• 45 guaranteed hours per week: The same schedule, with an extended Thursday beginning as early as 7:00 a.m.

Both parents work full-time, often from home, and believe in providing their nannies with the trust, autonomy, and respect needed to confidently lead the day. Their home is warm, organized, educationally focused, and intentionally screen-free, with an emphasis on kindness, curiosity, independence, and good manners. Their four delightful children include an intellectually curious 8-year-old boy, a confident and spirited 6-year-old girl, a creative and independent 5-year-old girl, and a happy, easygoing 1-year-old girl. The children are active and involved in a variety of enriching activities, including music, dance, sports, and academics, and enjoy imaginative play, reading, building, and learning. Fridays are intentionally slower-paced and centered around quality family time at home.

Responsibilities include partnering with the family's co-nanny to provide exceptional care, school pickups, accompanying the children to activities via walking, bus, or subway, infant care, preparing healthy meals and snacks for the children (with an emphasis on wholesome nutrition), homework support, children's laundry, organization of children's spaces, ordering children's essentials online, and light child-related tidying. A dedicated housekeeper manages the deep cleaning, allowing the nannies to remain focused on childcare and child-related responsibilities. Beginning in January, the family's youngest child is expected to begin a part-time school program, naturally shifting the role even more toward an after-school routine.

The ideal candidate is warm, organized, proactive, and genuinely passionate about child development. Candidates with backgrounds in education, tutoring, early childhood development, music, art, storytelling, or other enrichment-focused disciplines are especially encouraged to apply. The family is seeking someone with a minimum of five years of professional experience caring for children from infancy through the elementary years who enjoys working collaboratively, communicates well, and has a team-first mentality. CPR and First Aid certification (or willingness to renew prior to employment), legal authorization to work in the United States, and comfort working as a W-2 household employee are required. The family keeps a kosher kitchen-easily taught. There is no driving, travel, or pet care required.

Compensation starts at $45+ per hour, depending on experience, and includes guaranteed hours, weekly payroll, a $600 monthly health insurance stipend (ICHRA), paid vacation, paid holidays, paid sick leave, and OMNY transportation reimbursement. The family has a wonderful history of building long-term relationships with their nannies and hopes to welcome someone who is looking for a lasting professional home where they will be valued, respected, and become an integral part of the family.

Start date is ASAP, ideally by the end of August, with the opportunity to shadow alongside the current co-nanny prior to her departure to ensure a seamless transition.
