Position Overview

A warm, active family in Norfolk, Connecticut is seeking an experienced, highly organized full-time rotational nanny to care for their three young children: a 3-year-old, a 1-year-old, and a newborn. This is a collaborative position shared with a second full-time nanny on a rotating schedule, so strong communication and smooth handoffs are central to the role. The family is looking for someone nurturing, calm, proactive, and confident managing the needs of multiple young children in a busy household — someone who works well as part of a team, maintains thoughtful professional boundaries, and becomes a trusted presence in the home. The position includes regular travel to the family's New York City residence as well as frequent domestic and international travel. The family has two friendly medium-to-large non-shedding dogs, so comfort around dogs is essential. Candidates local to the tri-state area are preferred.
