#567 – ROTA Nanny in Soho, NYC

Location: Soho, Manhattan

Age of child: 9 months old

Start date: October 2025

General schedule: This is a rotational schedule of 7-10 days on / 7-10 days off, alternating with another full-time nanny. Live-in during the week is preferred. 

The position involves full-day coverage, with hours that may fluctuate depending on the baby’s wake windows, nap schedule, and occasional evening needs after the baby is asleep. Flexibility is key, especially when traveling or during transitions.

Travel: The family spends approximately three months each year in Brazil (February–April). During this time, the rotational nannies will alternate on a monthly basis, with each nanny joining the family for one month at a time. Additional travel may occur throughout the year, typically for about 1-3 weeks at a time.

Daily breaks are built in during nap times and evenings, and there is typically downtime while traveling or during quieter periods at home.

The Ideal Candidate:

The ideal candidate is warm, cheerful, and truly loves working with children. A background in child development or early childhood education/psychology is a plus. The family values someone responsible, grounded, and brings a happy, calming presence to the home.

Fluency in Portuguese is strongly preferred. 

Other key traits include:

• Extensive experience with infants and toddlers
• Strong knowledge of developmental milestones
• A consistently positive and professional attitude

This position is ideal for a professional nanny seeking a long-term position with a family they can grow with for many years to come.
