Live In Babysitter Jobs in Connecticut (NOW HIRING)

Location:

Greenwich, CT Schedule: Monday – Thursday, 8:00 am – 7:00 pm Children's ages: 1 and 3 years old Start Date: ideally September/October 2026 About the Family An active, family-oriented household in Greenwich, Connecticut, is seeking an experienced, proactive career nanny for a live-in or live-out role. They value structure, kindness, respect, and open communication, and are seeking someone who can work as a trusted, long-term partner within the household while helping to maintain balance in their dynamic day-to-day routines.

Position Overview

If the position is live-in, the overnights will be on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights. Regular responsibilities will include the children's dinner, bath time, and bedtime. On evenings when the parents are unavailable, the nanny will remain responsible for the children and will be available to assist as needed. When the parents are home and available, they will generally take responsibility for monitoring the children overnight.

The nanny should, however, be comfortable providing occasional overnight care if specifically requested or if an unexpected need arises. If the position is live-out, the regular schedule will be Monday–Thursday, 8:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m. The role includes occasional travel throughout the year – primarily domestic, including trips to Florida and Colorado. The family also spends August in the Hamptons, and the nanny must be available to work there during that period. Private accommodations will be provided.

The nanny's primary focus will be on childcare, including managing daily routines such as feedings, naps, bath time, and bedtime, as well as planning and facilitating age-appropriate activities that support their development. During downtime (e.g., while the children nap or are with a parent), light child-related household support is expected. Tasks may include tidying child spaces, organizing children's clothing and supplies, running errands for the children, and generally helping keep the household running smoothly.

The nanny should be comfortable working alongside hands‐on parents and other household staff. Clear communication, discretion, flexibility, and a collaborative, team‐oriented attitude are essential.
