About the Children

1-year-old, girl: She's very curious! She's hyper aware and loves to observe people. She gets hyper focused on whatever she does and can be very determined. She loves to laugh. When not being a sweet, giggly girl, she typically stays very calm. She learns Spanish from her Mom and English from her Dad.

Responsibilities

You'll arrive and wake the baby up, or she'll already be up. You'll then prepare her breakfast and get her dressed and ready for the day. She eats lunch at 12:30 PM. Both parents work very full-time jobs outside of the home, so you'll work independently and be responsible for everything related to the girl, like laundry, preparing her food, tidying up her areas, and common areas, loading and unloading the dishwasher and more. The family may occasionally ask for family related tasks as well. Mom and Dad love good food and love cooking! It's very important to them to find a nanny who enjoys cooking as well and shares their commitment to expanding their little one's palette. They are very passionate about introducing common allergen foods to her, like eggs, shellfish, nuts of all kinds and more. She has already eaten eggs, shrimp, and octopus to name a few! They're looking for somebody who is aligned on that and will introduce and re-introduce new foods to her. Beyond that, in the beginning of the position, you'll closely follow the schedule and routine that their newborn care specialist has set.

Additional Information

Spanish speakers will be prioritized. You must have a valid driver's license, and know how to swim. Summers are live-in in the Hamptons. You should be passport ready, with the ability to sometimes flex your schedule while traveling.
