BROOKLYN FAMILY SEEKING FULL-TIME NANNY ASAP - APRIL 2026
Direct support professional job in New York, NY
BROOKLYN, NY(LOCAL CANDIDATES ONLY) - Park Slope | Full-Time Temporary Nanny (Dec 2025-Apr 2026) A warm, international family in the heart of Park Slope is seeking a loving, creative, and highly engaged full-time nanny to support their 2.5-year-old son and soon-to-arrive newborn. This is a December 2025-April 2026 temporary role ideal for a caregiver who thrives in close partnership with parents, enjoys becoming part of the family, and brings thoughtful structure, warmth, and age-appropriate activity planning to each day. With a postpartum doula in the home, the nanny's primary focus will be the older child-someone energetic, affectionate, curious, and happiest when outdoors, exploring the neighborhood, or snuggling up with books.
The role centers on active, hands-on engagement, including daily walks, playground time, planning indoor activities for winter months, and escorting the toddler to weekly gym and swim classes. Afternoons include nap routine support, playtime, and occasional evenings with dinner, wind-down, and bedtime. Once the baby arrives, the nanny will often spend time alongside mom and the newborn, creating a warm and collaborative atmosphere while ensuring the toddler feels supported, engaged, and connected. Light household support related to the children-tidying play areas, basic laundry, and preparing simple vegan meals is welcomed, especially if the nanny enjoys cooking. The home is vegan, and the family is happy to guide caregivers unfamiliar with plant-based cooking.
The family does not require driving; Park Slope is extremely walkable, with parks, playgrounds, cafés, museums, and toddler activities all nearby. Public transit and biking are the most convenient ways to travel. The family would like candidates to be confident and adventurous - taking the toddler on outings, even if the weather isn't the most favorable! Flexibility for 1-2 evenings per week and occasional short weekend hours is appreciated.
Ideal candidates love forming deep bonds with children, bring creativity to winter play, communicate with openness and kindness, and genuinely enjoy becoming part of a family's rhythm. Compensation is $30-$45/hr via payroll, based on experience. A wonderful opportunity to join a nurturing, affectionate family during a very special season of growth.
