A warm, active family in Armonk is looking for an experienced Nanny/Family Assistant to join their household long-term. The family has two school-aged daughters who are creative, fun, and active, with interests including dance, theater, reading, sports, board games, and spending time with family.
The family is looking for someone warm, patient, mature, organized, and dependable who can build a genuine relationship with the girls while also helping their busy household run smoothly.
Both parents commute into the city, so reliability, flexibility, good communication, and the ability to take initiative are especially important.
Schedule
This is a full-time position that will regularly exceed 40 hours per week. The family is open to live-in or live-out candidates and is looking for someone who can offer flexibility based on the family’s weekly needs.
The anticipated schedule may include:
Monday: 6:30 AM–7:00 PM
Tuesday: 6:30 AM–7:00 PM
Wednesday: 1:00 PM–9:00/10:00 PM
Thursday: 1:00 PM–9:00/10:00 PM
Friday: 6:30 AM–5:00 PM
The family does not necessarily need all of these hours every week and has some flexibility in how the schedule is structured for the right candidate.
Flexibility is more important than adhering to this exact schedule.
For a strong candidate who cannot consistently accommodate a 6:30 AM start, the family is also open to discussing occasional overnight stays to help with morning coverage.
When the children are off from school and the parents are working, including school breaks and sick days, full-day coverage may be needed.
The family also needs occasional overnight care throughout the year with advance notice.
