A wonderful family based in NYC is seeking a long-term, full-time career nanny for newborn support. The position will also require travel to Singapore and abroad. Travel will include in-home accommodation and hotel as needed. Ideally, this is a live-out position while in NYC, but the family is receptive to live-in. The schedule will primarily be a 50-hour work week Monday through Friday, with the flexibility to work weekends while based in the US. Approximately 2 days off per week will be given. There may be a need for evenings and overnights. The candidate must be local to NYC as the family is not offering relocation. The family spends approximately 6 non-consecutive months of the year in Singapore and the schedule will be flexible. Additional domestic and international travel will be required. The family currently has an NCS so there will be some overlap.
