Nanny (Live-in or Live-out) & Household Help — Rhinebeck, NY

Full-time | Travel Required | Spanish Required

We are seeking a seasoned caregiver for a full-time role who is looking to build a long-term relationship with one family and become a steady, trusted presence in our child’s life. The ideal candidate is calm, affectionate, confident, and accountable, and takes pride in raising children well while contributing to a peaceful, structured, and well-run home.

This role is centered on exceptional childcare and also includes cooking, light housekeeping, laundry, and household support. The position may be structured as live-in or live-out for the right candidate.

The Foundation of This Role

You will thrive in a home that is:

  • Consistent and routine-based

  • Calm and chaos-free

  • Structured and well-run

  • Screen-free

The household is built around a very hands-on, present, and engaged work-from-home mother. You will work closely with Mom, follow her lead, and support her parenting approach with confidence and respect.

There will be times when Mom wants uninterrupted time with the baby. During those moments, we expect someone who remains proactive and supportive throughout the home, naturally shifting into meal preparation, tidying, laundry, and household flow when childcare needs are lighter.

Privacy matters to us. We value discretion and are looking for someone who blends into the family rhythm with professionalism and care.
