KP587 - Part-Time Special Needs Nanny - UES - British American Household Staffing

A lovely, warm family on the Upper East Side is seeking a part-time nanny for their 11-year-old son, who is on the Autism spectrum. There are two other children (aged 9 and 6 months) but these will not be the candidate’s responsibility. Their son has a robust therapy team so the candidate will have a lot of support. The schedule can be flexible for the right candidate, though ideally, the nanny would work anywhere from 2 pm through 6/8 pm, Monday through Friday. The family would accommodate candidates who can only do evenings or afternoons. They are also prepared to guarantee a certain number of hours each week, if helpful. The child is currently enrolled in a hybrid school/home-school curriculum.

• Ensure the safety and welfare of the child at all times 
• Help with afternoon/ early evening routine and activities 
• The child is complex behaviorally and candidates should be thoughtful in terms of how they respond to the child’s idiosyncrasies 
• It would be helpful if they could challenge him in terms of his flexibility and OCD
• Participate in regular team meetings with the therapy team

• Candidates who have a relevant educational background in/are currently studying a relevant subject (e.g. Special Education/SLP/OT/BCBA/Human Development, or other)

• Experience working with children who have Autism
• Be calm, patient, and warm with a positive, team-player attitude
• US passport, Green Card, or EAC 
• COVID-19 vaccinated and up to date on seasonal Flu shot  
• Available to start in September/October

• $45-$75+ per hour
