A little bit about us
We are expecting our first baby in Sep. 2024! We are not finding out the gender, and keeping it a surprise. This is our first child, and we are extremely excited. I work as an Occupational Therapist, and my husband works in marketing/advertising. We are planning ahead for childcare, and hoping to find a nanny to start in February/March 2025 when we both go back to work for 25-34 hrs a week. Baby will be around 6 months old upon the start date. Our ideal nanny will have their own vehicle and be able to watch baby at our home, but also bring them to the park or play groups out into the community. Other duties will include light house keeping (dishes, cooking, laundry, and vacuuming), and taking our dog out for potty breaks. We have a small yard for our 5 yr old Border Collie mix who loves people, going on walks, playing fetch, swimming and cuddling. Looking forward to connecting and having you join and support our growing family!

We are looking for a part time nanny right now to help out about 10-15 hours a week. My husband works from home and I’m looking for a new job. My hope is that someone can watch our 6 month old son a few hours a week to allow me time to interview and get some ad hoc work done. We’ll both be home (working) during the day and able to support as needed if you’re less experienced with babies, although some infant experience is preferred. We’re flexible on hours if you need more/less than what we’ve requested. Ideally you’d come consistently on the same weekdays though. (Every Monday & Tuesday for example). Eventually we’ll need full time care, so this has potential to become a full nanny job. We’d also love to get some babysitting hours in for the occasional date night!
If this flexible arrangement seems like a good fit for you for the next 1-3 months please let us know!

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in Seattle, WA
Before you start looking for a nanny job, it's essential to learn about the different types of nannies and how they compare to each other so that you make sure you’re looking for the right opportunities.
The different types of nanny jobs have different nanny responsibilities. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. However, in general, a nanny is responsible for making sure the children's needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example, housekeeping or meal preparation, it’s good practice to make sure your expectations are aligned with the family.
There are temporary nanny jobs, even seasonal nanny jobs like summer nanny jobs. Beyond seasonal and temporary nanny positions, there are differences between full-time and part-time nanny jobs. The primary difference being the number of hours you spend at your nanny job every week. For full-time nannies, there are options for live in nanny positions and live-out positions in Seattle. Live-out positions are more common, but each family has their own set of needs that require different types of care, and live in nanny positions can be exactly what some families want. If you're looking to explore live in nanny positions , it's even more important to create a shared set of expectations around hours, responsibilities, and what is expected of you when you're not on the clock.
How to Interview for a Nanny Job in Seattle, WA
Once you start connecting with prospective employers, the next step is a nanny job interview. Here is a list of some nanny interview questions to prepare for:
- What do you think children like best about you?
- What kind of activities will you do with children this age?
- How do you handle problems that arise behaviorally and emotionally with kids this age?
Beyond answering 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.
