Weekend Nanny in Soho | Paint, Play, and Explore
06th February, 2026Family OverviewThe family resides in Hudson Square, NYC. They lead a dynamic lifestyle and have one child who is 4. Their child is energetic, imaginative, and socially outgoing-she thrives in creative environments and enjoys engaging activities such as art projects and museum visits. The family values creativity, flexibility, warmth, and open communication. They also have a sweet, low-maintenance Labradoodle named Blue. The family is seeking a warm, easygoing, creative, and proactive weekend nanny who flourishes in a flexible environment filled with music and art. The ideal candidate will be a "morning hero" who can step in early for early mornings, 7 am wake-up, and breakfast time, someone who facilitates smooth transitions throughout the day, and who integrates easily into a relaxed yet stimulating household. They should possess strong communication skills, be confident in independently managing routines, and have a gentle yet upbeat presence. A love for children's creativity, an openness to travel, and the ability to adapt are must-haves.Role OverviewPosition Title: Live-In Weekend NannyLocation: Based in Soho, NYC, with frequent travel to the Hamptons, upstate NYSchedule: Fridays (variable start), Saturdays, and Sundays through early eveningType: Part-time, live-in (weekends only)Start Date: ASAPPrimary ResponsibilitiesProvide sole-charge morning care for the preschooler, allowing parents to sleep inAssist with daily transitions (e.g., getting ready for outings, changing for bedtime)Support bedtime routines when parents have evening plansLight meal prep (soft-boiled eggs, pasta, snacks)Engage with creative, hands-on, screen-free play and projects (arts, crafts, pretend play)Maintain a calm and helpful presence during weekends-no expectation to take full-day solo care, as the family is very present and hands-onSchedule & FlexibilityTypical Weekend Hours: Friday evening through Sunday evening (approx. 25-26 hrs/weekend)Flexibility Required: Some weekends may begin Friday morning, especially for travel to the Hamptons or upstate NY; other weekends may be fully off but still paidTravel: Occasional domestic and international weekend travel Overnights: Included; private guest room with en-suite bathroom and TV providedSalary & BenefitsCompensation: OPEN for the right person guaranteed (based on $35-$45/hr + overnight stipends)Perks: Private accommodations, meals included, occasional travel to beautiful destinations, exposure to a creative, art-centered householdTransportation: Travel costs covered for trips (e.g., train to the Hamptons) Additional Preferences or Deal BreakersAbsolutely no nuts or seeds in the household due to severe allergiesMust be comfortable with a flexible, non-routine lifestylePrefer someone who is respectful of the family's privacy and boundariesMust be confident but not overbearing; parents are very involved on weekends and value a co-pilot more than a primary caregiver during daytime hoursDesired Qualifications & Experience3+ years of relevant nanny experience, ideally with preschool-aged childrenCreative and artistic (crafty, imaginative, enjoys music/art)Comfortable with live-in weekend arrangementsEasygoing, kind, flexible, and respectfulAbility to drive (a plus)Comfortable with occasional last-minute travel (domestic/international)Dog-friendlyExperience in a dynamic, high-energy household is a plusMust Drive
