A little bit about us
Hello all! Our family is looking for a part-time nanny, three days a week, to care for our daughter when my wife returns to work in January. Our little one will be 7 months old at that time. The days we need care are Mon-Weds, and the hours are 9:30 am - 4:00pm on Mon/Tues and 9:00am-5:30pm on Wednesday.
We are also open to a nanny share!
The ideal candidate is:
Trustworthy, loving and engaging
Has infant care experience
Is fully vaccinated for COVID and is COVID safe in their personal life. Must show proof of vaccination prior to hire
Is up to date on all other vaccinations
Fluent in English, but Spanish speakers are welcomed as we'd love to expose baby to Spanish!
CPR/first-aid certified
Duties will include:
Feeding, playtime, stroller walks/outdoor adventures, putting baby down for her naps, tidying up after baby, including washing her bottles/dishes and picking up her toys
No other household chores required, aside from the occasional load of baby's laundry
A little about our home:
My wife works from home Monday and Tuesday, so will need support while she is in meetings, or out running errands for the household. My wife also works in the office on Wednesdays, so nanny and baby will have the home to themselves
We live in a small condo, so we're looking for a candidate that can form a strong relationship and partnership with my wife, too!
We have a sweet miniature dachshund, so our candidate must love dogs, too.
References are required. If you think you'd be the right fit, we'd love to connect with you! Please send me a DM with your interest and your hourly rate.

What is an Infant Nanny in Novato, 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 Novato, 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.
