Hello! My partner and My are seeking a nanny share for our 3-month old, Ellie, beginning March 2021. We are willing to host (cat-friendly apartment) and have flexibility on workdays, but will need infant care from 8:30-5:30 at least three days a week. I work as a librarian in Belmont, so if a family in the Cambridge/Belmont/Arlington area would like to host, that would work for us, too! My partner is a physician, but does not work directly with COVID patients and has gotten the vaccine.

Full-Time Nanny — Jamaica Plain, Boston
Schedule: Mon–Fri, 7:30am–5:30pm (50 hrs/week)
Start date: Flexible, targeting mid-Nov to early Dec 2026 (possible part-time bridge role from Oct 5 for the right fit)
Pay: Competitive, on the books (W-2), top of local market for the right candidate
Kids: Daughter, almost 2 (part-time daycare); infant son (primary focus of this role)
About us: Two working parents, bilingual household (English/Japanese). This isn't an urgent replacement — our current nanny of 2 years is transitioning out for personal reasons, and we're taking our time to find the right long-term fit. We're planning a paid overlap/training period with her before the new hire starts solo.
What we're looking for: warm, affectionate, and proactive — someone who anticipates needs rather than waiting to be told. Excellent, direct communicator. Developmentally engaged (reading, talking, playing, encouraging independence). Comfortable supporting an infant and, at times, a toddler together. Looking for a long-term, multi-year fit, not a short-term placement.
The role: primary daytime care for our infant son; occasional support with our daughter (before/after daycare, occasional pickup/drop-off); light child-related household tasks (kids' laundry, daycare lunch prep, tidying kids' spaces, weekly trash to curb). Not a housekeeping role.
Requirements: valid driver's license, comfortable driving regularly (daycare pickup/drop-off is routine); reliable and experienced with infants/toddlers; strong English communication.
Location: Jamaica Plain — commutable distance welcome, proximity a plus.
Please reach out with your experience, availability, and what you're looking for in your next role!

What is an Infant Nanny in Boston, MA
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 Boston, MA? 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.
