Part-Time Nanny (Friday to Sunday or Saturday and Sunday only) required for a Dumbo, NY family with 2 young sons. Specific duties to be negotiated with the family, but in general, you will be responsible for providing nurturing and loving care to the boys, while supporting the family with additional tasks including tidying/cleaning/organizing, laundry/ironing, meal preparation and household inventory/shopping in a busy household. You will work in partnership with the parents and they are looking for someone who is an easy communicator and open to pitching in and generally being a proactive and helpful extra set of hands. Someone organized who thrives in a busy environment will be a strong match for this family. The parents practice gentle/positive parenting and want someone who will fit naturally into that approach.

Beyond childcare, the parents are looking for someone who loves to cook healthy meals (mostly vegetarian) and overall can help keep the home running smoothly. The family does have an outdoor garden, so someone who enjoys planting and harvesting would be ideal!
