A Nanny Match Jobs

Warm and welcoming parents in Soho, NYC, seek an experienced full-time nanny for their two sons, ages 2.5 years and 2 months old.

The 2.5 year old is curious, highly verbal, reads daily, and loves to play! The 2-month-old is a happy and easygoing baby. While their routines and schedules are structured, free play is encouraged.
