A little bit about us
We have had au pairs living with us for the past five years. We are making plans for childcare in the fall and are comparing having a nanny versus an au pair. We are open to both a live-in and a live-out option.
We are looking for a childcare professional who would pick up the kids from school, help them with homework, help them with chores, and play games and do fun art projects with them. We want someone to work occasional evenings as well. Someone who can teach music lessons would be a bonus! (We would pay extra for music lessons)
We have two cats.

What Are After-School Nanny Jobs?
After-school nanny jobs are part-time positions that cover weekday afternoons, usually from school pickup until early evening. They fit nannies who want a regular schedule, students, and people with other commitments in the morning.
Types of After-School Nanny Jobs and Responsibilities
Typical duties include school or bus-stop pickup, snacks, homework help, activities and lessons, and sometimes dinner. Some jobs include a few mornings or school holidays too. Check the school pickup time, the days per week, and whether driving is required.
How to Interview for After-School Nanny Jobs
Once you start connecting with prospective employers, the next step is a nanny job interview. Here are some questions you should ask:
- What time is school pickup, and which days do you need care?
- Will I drive, and is a car seat or vehicle provided?
- How do you handle early dismissals and school holidays?
- What are the children's activities and routines?
- Is dinner or light housekeeping part of the job?
Beyond asking these questions, families will want you to have your nanny references ready and ask any questions to show initiative. The nanny job interview is an excellent opportunity to get aligned on the nanny job expectations. By doing this, you can get off on the right foot with your future employer.
