AC233 - Weekend Nanny/Manny - West Village, NY

Overview

A kind, active young family based in the West Village is seeking an energetic, engaging, and experienced Weekend Nanny/Manny to care for their two active boys, ages 7 and 5, and their 3-year-old daughter. The parents are hands-on, and there is additional support on Saturdays. The family is looking for someone who naturally embodies a "big sister" or "big brother" approach—someone who is playful, active, kind, and genuinely enjoys becoming part of a family's life.

The ideal candidate is confident in planning fun-filled weekends, encouraging outdoor play, sports, creativity, and adventure while also providing structure, consistency, and excellent childcare.

The schedule is Saturday from 7am to Monday at 9am, live-in. Another option would be Friday evening to Sunday evening. The position is only live-in when working. Housing is not provided for off days. 

Travel to Westchester in July and the Hamptons in August is required.

This is a wonderful opportunity for a career nanny or manny who thrives in an active household and enjoys creating memorable weekends filled with fun, learning, and adventure. The family values warmth, flexibility, and professionalism and hopes to find someone who will become a trusted and lasting part of their children's lives.
