About the Family
A warm, laid-back family in Sleepy Hollow, NY is seeking an experienced NCS to care for their baby boy and provide additional support during an exciting transitional period for their family. This is their first child, and both parents are looking for an experienced caregiver who can serve as both a nurturing nanny and a trusted resource as they continue navigating the infant stage.
Mom is currently on maternity leave through November, while Dad will be returning to work in the coming weeks and works from home several days per week.
