Live In Rota Nanny Jobs in New York (NOW HIRING)

A growing family in downtown Manhattan is looking for a dependable, nurturing, and proactive ROTA nanny to care for their newborn and 2-year-old. Care is shared by two ROTA nannies on 24-hour shifts, working 1-2 weeks on/ 1-2 weeks off. The nanny is live-in while on duty and lives out when off duty, so candidates must maintain their own housing in the area. The family travels often, both within the U.S. and abroad; when a trip takes them out of town, the family covers the nanny's flight back to their home base for the off rotation. The family has a newborn care specialist for the baby's first 3–4 months, so the nanny can expect the baby to be in a consistent, well-established routine.

This is a long-term role for caregivers who want to build a genuine, lasting bond with the children and grow with them as their needs change. The right person loves working with young children, takes pride in creating a calm and nurturing home, and works well alongside a team. Both nannies would take turns accompanying the family on domestic and international trips. A flexible, adaptable approach is essential, since plans can change with travel, holidays, the children's routines, and other commitments that come up.

Day to day, the nanny keeps the children engaged in age-appropriate play and outings and supports their overall care. Core responsibilities include:

• Keeping each child on their daily rhythm — bottles and diaper changes for the baby, meals and snacks for the toddler, plus naps and play for both

• Handle bottle feeds (breast milk or formula) for the baby and help introduce solids when ready, while preparing meals and snacks for the toddler and encouraging self-feeding

• Providing warm, attentive care for both a newborn and a toddler

• Maintain a safe, comfortable, and clean space for the children, following safe-sleep practices for the baby and consistent bedtime routines for the toddler

• Lead developmental play suited to each age — tummy time and sensory activities for the baby, and imaginative play, early learning, arts and crafts, and active outdoor time for the toddler, with books and music for both

• Work with the parents to shape routines that fit each child's stage, adjusting as they grow

• Keep the children's spaces running smoothly: tidying the nursery and playroom, staying ahead on supplies, rotating out outgrown toys and clothes, and keeping diaper bags and outing gear packed and ready

• Keep the parents in the loop on the children's day, mood, and anything noteworthy

• Read situations well — know when to step in and take initiative

• Keep children's supplies stocked and handle the light housekeeping that goes with their care — washing bottles, doing their laundry, and keeping their areas clean and sanitized

• Take the children to outings, appointments, and activities, driving or walking as needed

• Travel with the family, so care stays seamless on trips, packing everything the children need (clothing, gear, food, and the rest); light child-related housekeeping continues while away

• On occasion, share a room with one of the children while traveling

• Background as a full-time nanny, comfortable with children of different ages at once

• Prior experience in an ROTA role with young children

• Strong grounding in caring for both infants and toddlers — feeding, sleep, developmental milestones, behavior guidance, and safety

• Positive, can-do outlook

• Proactive and fully present with the kids throughout the shift

• A self-starter who gets things done

• Adaptable to any environment

• Genuinely enjoys nurturing independence and helping children learn

• Highly organized, punctual, clean, and tidy

• Available to serve as a full-time caregiver during the family's domestic and international travel

• At ease traveling with the family, both in the U.S. and abroad

• Comfortable working holidays

• A strong team player alongside hands-on parents and other caregivers

• Fluent in English and Fluent in Spanish is a plus

• A degree or certification in early childhood education or infant care is a plus, though equivalent hands-on experience counts too

• Authorized to work in the U.S. and to travel internationally

• Valid driver's license with a clean record

• Confident swimmer

• Flexible and ready to travel as needed

• Happy to collaborate closely with other household staff

• A clear communicator who can take charge when the moment calls for it

• Discretion and good judgment — sensitive to the family's privacy, knowing when to give them space, and poised and professional around their friends and wider circle

• Looking to commit long-term to a warm, grounded family

• Up to date with vaccinations

• $135,000+ per year, DOE.
• Health reimbursement arrangement of $1,000 per month.
