A warm, professional family in Park Slope is seeking a proactive, experienced full-time Family Assistant/Nanny to join their household long-term.

Their current family assistant is transitioning out at the end of August, and they are looking for someone to step into this important role.

Would love someone who has a teaching background to incorporate their knowledge of early childhood throughout the day. 

Most important qualities needed-
- Someone who is laser focused on their daughter. When out around town- this person is the nanny engaged with the child, not the other nannies. 
- Must have the strength to carry a child up and down stairs or run after her on a scooter, take her on the subway with a stroller, etc.
-Someone who takes pride in their work and wants to be the best nanny around. 
- Takes initiative!!! Be proactive if you see something that needs to be taken care of, don't wait for someone to tell you to do it. 
- Team player- must be able to get along with the other staff. 

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide attentive, hands-on care for their daughter from 3:30pm until bedtime

• Assist with family tasks and household organization while the child is in school- (family has a housekeeper and house manager as well)

• Plan and coordinate enriching activities, playdates, and age-appropriate learning (letters, numbers, games)

• Be proactive in supporting the child’s development—firm, loving, respectful, and never distracted (especially not by phone)

• Prepare nutritious meals for the child and involve the child in cooking for teaching moments,  monitor her wardrobe/needs (e.g., outgrowing clothes, supplies)

• Travel readiness (domestic and international, 1–3 trips per year), including helping plan kid-friendly activities on the road

Ideal Candidate:

• Mature and responsible with a “mom energy” approach

• Calm, thoughtful, and able to gently enforce boundaries

• Flexible and self-sufficient—able to adjust schedule when needed and take initiative without constant direction

• Strong judgment, attention to detail, and excellent communication skills

• Able to take over class/activity planning and lighten the parents’ mental load

• Open to growing with the family, including supporting a second child in the future
