A warm, professional family in Park Slope is seeking a proactive, experienced full-time Family Assistant/Nanny to join their household long-term. Both parents work from home, with a 2.5-year-old daughter who attends preschool from 9am–3pm. 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 for someone to give suggestions – "I know you said you wanted your daughter to eat more peas, have you tried…"

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.
-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

• 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 monitor her wardrobe/needs (e.g., outgrowing clothes, supplies)

• Support family with weekend babysitting as needed

• 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

• Comfortable with occasional travel and flexible hours, including evenings/weekends

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

This is a special opportunity for someone who thrives in a dynamic, respectful household and is looking for a long-term role where they can truly make a difference.
