A private family divides their time year-round between   Stanfordville, NY and the Hamptons (approximately 50/50 between both homes), about a month each back and forth,  and are seeking a highly flexible, warm, and engaging nanny to support their young daughter (approximately 2 years old).

• Coverage typically needed from around 7-3 or 8-4
• Prior arrangements have included  3–5 consecutive working days followed by time off , depending on location
• Family is open to structuring schedule based on the right candidate

• Flexible and comfortable with changing environments and locations
• Energetic, playful, and attentive
• Respectful of family privacy and not overly intrusive

• Prior nanny experience (4+ years minimum preferred)
• Strong references
• Valid driver’s license 
• Comfortable with travel between homes and flexible scheduling
• Comfortable around dogs

• Guaranteed hours (30–40/week depending on arrangement)
• Travel time and reimbursement provided

This is a   highly flexible, relationship-based role   where the right fit is far more important than a fixed schedule, with the goal of finding someone who will grow with the family long-term.
