About the Family
A warm, active, and family-oriented household in Rye, New York is seeking a reliable, engaging, and long-term nanny/family assistant. The family is looking for someone who can become a true partner in supporting their three children and integrate seamlessly into their home life.
They have three children, ages 6, 4, and 1. The older children attend school and summer camp, while the youngest is home full-time and thrives in a structured, engaging, and nurturing environment. The family values outdoor play, creativity, consistency, and strong emotional connection.
Both parents commute into New York City for work. Mom has a more flexible schedule and works from home more frequently during the summer, and also travels occasionally for work.

Additional responsibilities include children’s laundry (family laundry support preferred), kitchen tidying, light home organization, meal prep for the children, grocery shopping and meal planning, household errands, seasonal clothing organization, maintaining organized play and craft spaces, and light pet care for the family’s Golden Retriever.
