# 639 ROTA NANNY | SOHO, NYC
ROTA Nanny NewBookmark Details
A warm, active, and highly organized family based in SoHo is seeking two experienced and dynamic ROTA Nannies to join their established household team and help care for their three children, ages 4 to 11.
All three children attend school full-time in New York City and have active schedules that include after-school activities, sports, and other commitments. The family travels frequently and divides their time among several residences, including homes in New York City, Upstate New York, Idaho, and Turkey.
The family currently employs a long-term nanny, along with a House Manager/Personal Assistant, Chef, and Housekeeper. The ROTA Nannies will work collaboratively with the existing team while taking ownership of the children’s care, schedules, organization, and day-to-day needs during their rotations.
This is an excellent opportunity for experienced private-service nannies who are confident caring for multiple school-aged children, genuinely enjoy being active and on the go, and are equally comfortable taking initiative and working as part of a team.
SCHEDULE
The two ROTA Nannies will work an alternating 7 days on / 7 days off schedule.
During each seven-day rotation, the nanny must have significant flexibility and be available for the family’s changing schedule, including early mornings, evenings, overnights, weekends, holidays, special events, and travel.
The anticipated weekday schedule generally includes staggered shifts Wednesday through Friday, typically either:
- 7:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
- 11:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m.
Weekend coverage is typically from approximately 8:00 a.m. Saturday through 6:00 p.m. Sunday and includes an overnight.
Exact hours and shift assignments will vary depending on the family’s schedule and will be coordinated among the childcare team. Flexibility is essential.
The position also requires domestic and international travel with the family, including travel between their residences in New York City, Upstate New York, Idaho, and Turkey, as well as other family vacations.
