Three-Day Weekend Nanny - Upper East Side

Overview

A wonderful family on the Upper East Side is seeking a weekend nanny for their toddler to start sometime in June (by July 1st). The schedule will be Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 8am to 7pm (33-36 hours), but Fridays could be a half day if the candidate prefers that schedule (28-32 hours). The family is open to live-out but prefers live-in. They have a separate, private sleeping area in their home for the nanny. There will be a few weekends over each summer when the role must be live-in, as the family will be in the Hamptons. They are also expecting a second baby in November and will have an NCS through February or March 2025, after which the baby will come under the nanny's care.
