Live-in Family Assistant Needed in UES - 3+ years of experience

Live-In Family Assistant – Upper East Side, NYC

A busy, professional family on the Upper East Side is seeking a dependable, warm, and proactive Live-In Family Assistant to join their home long-term. The position is available ASAP, though the family is happy to wait for the right fit. The starting rate is $32/hour and up, depending on experience. The family has a newborn and a 2.5-year-old; however, the newborn is cared for by a full-time live-out nanny. This role will primarily focus on the toddler, who will begin full-time school in September. There is daily overlap (approximately 1–2 hours) with the infant’s nanny, and once she leaves, care of both children may be shared as needed.

This role is a blend of childcare and family assistant responsibilities. Childcare duties include school drop-off and pickup, engaging the toddler in age-appropriate activities, supporting afternoon and evening routines, assisting with infant care as needed, and working collaboratively with the other nanny. Family assistant responsibilities include preparing breakfast and cooking family meals (strong cooking skills are required), light organizing and maintaining common areas, running errands, managing household inventory and orders, assisting with scheduling and family logistics, and helping maintain the overall structure and flow of the home. Deep cleaning is handled weekly by a housekeeper.

The family is offering industry-standard benefits, guaranteed hours based on the selected schedule, and private live-in accommodations. Two schedule options are available: Option A is approximately 42.25 hours per week (Monday–Thursday 6:30 AM–9:00 AM and 3:15 PM–8:00 PM; Friday 6:30 AM–9:00 AM and 3:15 PM–7:00 PM; Saturday 7:00 AM–2:00 PM). Option B is approximately 35 hours per week (Monday–Friday 6:30 AM–9:00 AM and 3:30 PM–8:00 PM).

The ideal candidate has at least 3+ years of professional nanny or family assistant experience, with strong infant and toddler experience. They are confident balancing childcare and household support, have excellent cooking skills, and communicate clearly in English. The family is looking for someone proactive, organized, warm, trustworthy, and nurturing, who takes pride in their work and maintains a professional mindset. The candidate must be comfortable with a split-shift schedule, respectful within a family home, legally authorized to work in the U.S., CPR/First Aid certified (or willing to obtain), and up to date on Tdap, flu, and COVID vaccinations.
