Job description
Rota Nanny Position
A single parent family is seeking two exceptional ROTA nannies to join their household and care for an almost 3-year-old boy and his newborn baby sister. The schedule will be 2 weeks on/ 2 weeks off. The family is happy to fly candidates in/out. On a daily basis candidates will work alongside dad and his boyfriend, along with a house manager, and extended family visit throughout the year. There is also a newborn care specialist in place until December.
This is a highly mobile, travel-heavy position for experienced candidates who are confident caring for both newborns and toddlers and enjoy an active, outdoors-oriented lifestyle. The family is based primarily in New York City but spends significant periods of the year in Montana, Minnesota, and other domestic and international destinations.
The ideal candidate will be warm, energetic, capable, discreet, highly adaptable, and comfortable working closely with another ROTA nanny and a broader household team. The family environment is relaxed and personable, while still requiring the professionalism, discretion, and standards expected in a high-end private household.
Candidates will ideally be in place in November to overlap with the current full-time nanny before her anticipated departure around December 1.
Responsibilities
Provide developmentally appropriate care for a newborn and toddler
Establish and maintain consistent routines across multiple homes and travel destinations
Support the toddler around his preschool schedule, including drop-off/pick-up and care outside of preschool
Be prepared to care for the toddler more extensively during periods when he is not at preschool, including the Winter season
Plan and participate in age-appropriate activities, outings, and adventures
Support newborn care as the baby grows and the current NCS arrangement concludes
Manage children's laundry and clothing organization
Pack and unpack children's belongings for travel
Maintain children's rooms, play areas, and belongings in an organized and tidy manner (a professional cleaning team comes to the home approximately every 7–10 days)
Support the children's daily routines while traveling
Travel internationally and domestically with the family
Drive children safely and confidently, including in winter/snow conditions
Incorporate outdoor activities into the children's routine
Potentially walk or assist with walking the family's two large Black Russian Terriers
Provide general child-related household support, such as emptying the dishwasher and keeping the children's areas tidy
Work collaboratively with the second nanny and other household staff
Communicate effectively with the parents and household team
Maintain discretion and professionalism at all times
Qualifications
Significant professional nanny experience with both newborns and toddlers
Experience caring for two children simultaneously
Previous experience in a private household or high-end nanny environment
Strong newborn-care knowledge and confidence with infant routines
Experience supporting toddlers through developmental milestones and transitions
A warm, energetic, and engaging personality
An active lifestyle and enthusiasm for outdoor activities
Comfort working at altitude and in a large, multi-level home
Experience working collaboratively with another nanny
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
A flexible, adaptable approach to changing schedules and locations
Comfort integrating naturally into a relaxed family environment while maintaining professional boundaries
A willingness to become a trusted and familiar part of the family's broader lifestyle
An educational background or experience working with young children in an educational setting would be a plus, particularly as the toddler will spend periods outside of preschool/ traveling

Extensive domestic and international travel is required
Must be a confident and experienced driver
