Loving parents in NYC are seeking an experienced, nurturing nanny for their infant daughter. Their home is calm and respectful, and they are looking to build a positive, collaborative relationship with their nanny.

Safety is the family’s highest priority. They are looking for someone who confidently handles the practical aspects of infant care while remaining attentive to their baby’s cues and receptive to the parents’ preferences.

The mother works from home in a separate space, and the father occasionally works remotely. This is a long-term opportunity for a nanny with strong infant care experience, sound judgment, and a warm, engaging approach.
