About the Family

A warm and engaged family in Tribeca is seeking an experienced, proactive nanny/household manager to support their bright, spunky, and thoughtful 5-year-old daughter. She is a creative and expressive child who loves art, singing, dancing, and imaginative play. The family is focused on supporting her development with a balance of warmth and firm, consistent boundaries. Mom is a stay-at-home parent who is highly in her daughter’s day-to-day life, school, and development, and dad works out of the home in an office. There are currently no pets in the home, though the family may welcome a cat in the fall.
