About The Role

Family Concierge is supporting first-time parents in Pittsford, NY in their search for a compassionate, reliable, and developmentally focused Newborn Care Specialist. The family is expecting their baby early summer and is looking to welcome a qualified nanny into their home by mid-September to support the transition back to work.

With early morning start times and a consistent weekday schedule, this role is ideal for a professional caregiver experienced with infants and passionate about helping first-time parents feel confident and supported.

The family places a high value on clear communication, proactive care, and a collaborative mindset. While they are new to working with a nanny, they are eager to establish a respectful, long-term relationship with someone who feels like a trusted partner in their household. The family also owns a small, hypoallergenic dog - so candidates should be comfortable with pets inside the home.

• Maintain detailed communication with parents through daily summaries and feeding/sleep logs

• Support a screen-free, nurturing environment during care hours

• Offer guidance on newborn best practices and gently support first-time parents in adjusting to new routines

• Be open to light flexibility on Fridays when one parent works from home

• Research, identify, and transport baby to age and developmentally-appropriate activities outside the home
  

Ideal Candidate Profile

• 3–5+ years of newborn experience in private homes or as a certified Newborn Care Specialist (NCS)

• Infant CPR and First Aid certified

• Highly organized, reliable, and safety-conscious

• Strong communicator who is open to offering guidance and receiving feedback

• Enthusiastic and creative with experience planning developmentally appropriate activities

• Comfortable working in a home with a dog

• A clean driving record and a reliable, insured vehicle

• Bonus: experience supporting first-time parents or with postpartum adjustment

Why This Role?

This is a unique opportunity to help first-time parents build confidence while providing exceptional care to their infant. The family offers a predictable schedule, guaranteed hours, competitive compensation, and a warm, team-oriented home environment.

They are also open to providing a healthcare stipend and are deeply committed to offering stability, support, and respect to the caregiver who joins their family. Candidates who are willing to commit to at least one year, with openness to a longer-term relationship, are strongly encouraged to apply.
