Top-Tier Career Nanny with Infant Care Experience (ROTA) – New York City

Overview

A private New York City family with a 9-month-old child is seeking a highly experienced career nanny to join their household in a rotational schedule, working one week on and one week off in partnership with another ROTA nanny.
