A family on the Upper East Side, New York City is seeking a professional French-speaking career nanny to care for their 9-year-old child. The child attends a French-immersion school, so a candidate with native or near-native French fluency is essential, with a Parisian accent preferred. This role is ideal for an educated, polished nanny who can support language development while providing structured guidance, academic support, and a nurturing presence in the child’s daily life.
Responsibilities include overseeing homework, encouraging strong study habits, and supporting the child’s continued French language development through natural conversation and engagement. The position focuses on childcare and educational support; no cleaning is required, and food preparation for the child will be minimal. The family travels frequently, so the nanny must be comfortable accompanying them and maintaining consistency in routines while abroad. The role is within a fully staffed household, so being a collaborative team player and maintaining professionalism at all times is essential.
The schedule is Sunday to Thursday, approximately 40 hours per week, with flexibility for occasional overnight care when needed. The family is offering compensation starting at $120,000+, depending on experience, along with healthcare benefits.
