A little bit about us
We are the Morris Family, looking for occasional childcare for our daughter. She will be 3 in September and is very outgoing and friendly. She attends school Monday- Friday until 12:30, so we are looking for about once a week in the afternoons, and we are flexible on the timing. We are also looking for someone regular for weekends or evenings out, which usually is about 3 times a month.
Our daughter enjoys music and outdoor play. She is really adventurous. She loves reading books and pretend play, really anything with others!
My husband travels often for work, and I am a doctoral student looking for some support so that I can complete school work/participate in online coursework. Due to the fact that I am often solo parenting and we don't get a lot of time together, having someone that our daughter knows and trusts when we are out in the evenings/on a date night is really key for our family.

A little bit about us
We’re a warm, easygoing family in Encinitas looking for a nanny to join our team and help care for our son, Kai, who is 6 months old. He’s social, curious, and at the age where he’s taking in everything around him. We want someone who will make his days fun, engaging, and full of connection. We also have a dog, so you’ll need to be comfortable around pets.
We’re looking for someone with real energy and enthusiasm for babies. Not just someone who keeps an infant safe and fed, but someone who loves getting down on the floor, talking, singing, and playing all day. You’ll be a big part of Kai’s early development, and we want that to feel like a partnership.
Must-haves
- At least [2+] years of hands-on experience caring for infants under 12 months (references required)
- High energy and a genuinely playful, warm personality
- Comfort with interactive, developmentally appropriate play: tummy time, reading, singing, sensory play, narrating the day, encouraging rolling, sitting, and early crawling
- Strong knowledge of infant routines: bottle feeding, introducing solids, naps, diapering
- Infant CPR and First Aid certification (or willingness to get certified before starting)
- Reliable, punctual, and communicative
- Non-smoker
A typical day might include:
- Keeping Kai on his nap and feeding schedule
- Lots of floor play, reading, music, and talking
- Daily outings or fresh air
- Preparing simple baby meals as he starts solids
- Keeping his bottles, clothes, and play areas tidy
- A quick daily update on how he ate, slept, and what he got up to
We will need help Monday - Friday 8-4 pm

Hi! My name is Kaylee, and I’m a therapist and mom. We’re welcoming a new baby soon, and I’ll be returning to work in mid-March. I’m looking for a kind, reliable nanny to help primarily with infant care while I see clients.
I’m in private practice, so my schedule is somewhat flexible, but I consistently need help on Tuesdays during the school day, and one afternoon after school on either Monday or Wednesday while I see clients virtually or from my home office in Encinitas:)

How to Find an Infant Care Job in Encinitas, CA
If you’re looking for an infant nanny job, you’ve come to the right place! We can help you find an infant care job in your area. Start by telling families about yourself in your profile, and then chat with families to find the right fit. When you think you’ve found the right match, you can turn the discussion towards compensation and responsibilities.
What is an Infant Nanny in Encinitas, CA
An infant nanny is a nanny that specializes in caring for newborns. They are skilled in diapering and providing care for any rashes, swaddling, bathing, feeding, and burping. Some infant nannies further specialize in care for premature newborns or multiples.
Preparing for a Nanny Interview for an Infant Care Position
Once you start connecting with prospective employers, the next step is an infant nanny job interview. Here is a list of some infant nanny interview questions to prepare for:
- What is your specific experience with this age group?
- Are you Infant CPR/First Aid certified in Encinitas, CA? Are you willing to be trained?
- How do you handle a crying baby?
- How often do you usually offer parents updates during the day?
- What do you feed an infant? At 0-3 months? 3-6 months? 6-9 months? 9-12 months?
- How do you set up the infant’s crib for a nap?
- What kind of activities will you plan to engage my baby?
You should be prepared with your references for past nanny jobs, and ideally, past infant jobs. Prior to the infant nanny interview, be sure to think about questions that you might have for the family. This is a great time to ask questions about the responsibilities and compensation for the infant nanny position. To make sure everyone has a shared understanding of the role and responsibilities, we recommend asking for a job offer or a nanny contract. By doing this, you can get off on the right foot with your future employer.
