About the Role
This warm, active Scarsdale family of four is looking for a proactive, dependable nanny to become a long-term, trusted presence in their home. Their two daughters — ages 1 and 3 — are full of energy and love playing "Doctor" and "Chef," reading, dancing to music, and spending entire afternoons outdoors at the playground! The household is lively and family-centered, with mornings focused on the youngest (playgrounds, playdates, classes) and afternoons bringing naps, museum visits, and fun outings once the 3-year-old returns from school.
Mom is home during the day and enjoys being actively involved, making this a genuinely collaborative role.

The right fit is warm, upbeat, and brings real enthusiasm to every single day!
