Job description
Nanny / Mother's Helper / HousekeeperA returning BAHS client in Tribeca/Battery Park is seeking an experienced Nanny / Mother's Helper / Housekeeper to join their warm, young family. The family has three young children and a friendly Golden Retriever. Mom is a stay-at-home parent who is very present and hands-on with the children, and she is looking for an additional person who can work alongside her to help keep both the children and household running smoothly.With three young children on different schedules, flexibility is essential. The ideal candidate will be comfortable following Mom's lead and jumping in wherever support is most needed throughout the day. At times, this may mean caring for one or more of the children while Mom is with another child; at other times, the focus may shift to housekeeping, laundry, organization, or other household needs.This is a very hands-on and active role with three energetic young children. The family is looking for someone who genuinely enjoys being active with children and can comfortably keep up with them throughout the day, whether playing on the floor, climbing and playing at the playground, navigating the city, or moving quickly when needed. One of the younger children is particularly quick and adventurous, so the candidate must be attentive and physically able to react quickly, including jogging or running after a child when necessary for safety. Candidates should also be comfortable occasionally lifting a child weighing up to approximately 45 lbs.This is a true hybrid position, and the family is looking for someone who genuinely enjoys both childcare and housekeeping rather than someone who strongly prefers one side of the role. The right person will be proactive and able to recognize what needs to be done while also being comfortable working collaboratively with a hands-on parent.The family maintains a casual yet professional household and values kindness, discretion, flexibility, organization, and excellent communication. They are hoping to find someone warm, calm, and adaptable who will become a trusted, long-term member of their household team.Schedule: Approximately 40 hours per week Monday–Wednesday: 7:30 AM–4:30 PM Thursday–Friday: 10:00 AM–4:30 PM Some flexibility may be appreciated based on the family's needs.ResponsibilitiesChildcare & Mother's Helper SupportWork collaboratively with Mom to help manage the daily needs and schedules of three young childrenProvide hands-on childcare as needed, including caring for one or more children while Mom is with another childAssist with getting children ready for activities, appointments, outings, and other daily routinesEngage the children in active, age-appropriate play, activities, and outingsRemain attentive and able to move quickly when needed to ensure the children's safetyAssist with meals and snacks for the childrenHelp maintain consistency with the family's routines and schedulesKeep children's bedrooms, play areas, toys, and belongings tidy and organizedComplete children's laundry, including washing, folding, and putting clothing awayPack and organize children's bags and supplies for activities and outingsHelp with baths, dressing, and other age-appropriate care as neededProvide an extra set of hands during busy periods and transitions throughout the dayMaintain a warm, calm, and engaging presence with the childrenHousekeeping & Household SupportProvide general housekeeping and upkeep of the family's homeKeep the kitchen clean, organized, and reset throughout the dayClean and maintain bedrooms, bathrooms, living spaces, and common areasComplete family laundry, including washing, folding, putting away clothing, towels, and linensChange and maintain bed linensKeep closets, drawers, children's spaces, and household storage areas organizedTidy and reset rooms throughout the dayMaintain established household organizational systemsMonitor household supplies and communicate when items need to be replenishedAssist with household errands as neededHelp with larger organizing projects as time allowsAssist with general pet-related household upkeep as neededBe willing to shift between childcare and household responsibilities depending on the family's needs that dayQualifications5+ years of professional nanny, housekeeping, or private household experienceExperience caring for multiple young childrenStrong hands-on housekeeping and laundry skillsWarm, calm, flexible, and proactiveComfortable working collaboratively with a hands-on stay-at-home parentActive and physically able to keep up with three young children, including running after them when needed and occasionally lifting up to 45 lbs.Highly organized with strong attention to detailReliable, communicative, and seeking a long-term positionComfortable around dogsRequirementsCPR and First Aid Certified or willing to obtain certificationNon-smokerStrong, recent professional references from private household positionsStrong English communication skillsAble to perform the physical requirements of caring for three young children, including frequent movement, getting up and down from the floor, active play, navigating playgrounds and outdoor spaces, and moving quickly or running when necessary for a child's safetyComfortable occasionally lifting and carrying a child weighing up to approximately 45 lbsSalary and Benefits$40–$45/hour, DOE5 paid sick days annually5 paid vacation days for every 6 months workedMajor holidays off
