Summary:
Seeking an experienced, adaptable, and energetic live-in nanny for a dynamic family with two children (3-month-old and 5-year-old) in downtown Manhattan. This unique position offers luxury accommodation in a stunning high-rise apartment building and combines the excitement of city living with seasonal stays at a beautiful lake house in upstate New York. The ideal candidate will bring warmth, professionalism, and structure while maintaining flexibility for a family led by two entrepreneurial parents. This role offers excellent compensation, private living quarters, travel opportunities, and the chance to be part of a close-knit family environment where autonomy and initiative are highly valued.

Required Skills:
The position requires M-F availability (7am-7pm, occasional late evenings) with possible half-day Saturdays. Key qualifications include: extensive experience with newborns and multiple children, demonstrated ability to create and maintain routines while staying flexible, and strong swimming abilities with a valid driver's license. Must be comfortable with both domestic and international travel, particularly during summer months (June-September) at the family's lake house. Bonus qualifications: ECE degree, European background and Romanian language skills are highly desired but not required. Core responsibilities focus exclusively on childcare, including managing children's schedules, school communication, and developmental activities (sensory integration, baking, etc.). The right candidate will be socially adept, able to network with other nannies, and skilled at crafting age-appropriate activities. Must be able to work independently while taking direction well, show initiative in planning ahead, and maintain healthy boundaries. Position requires 4 weeks' advance notice for vacation time and flexibility to travel with the family several times per year. This is a long-term opportunity for a professional nanny who can become an integral part of a warm, global-minded family.
