A little bit about us
Hello! My maternity leave is ending, and my husband and I are looking for a full time nanny for our 5 month old son, starting in January.
8 hour days, start time 8:30-9:30 (you can choose). No extra responsibilities other than what is related to the boy.
The boy:
Our boy is a joy - very happy and curious. He is extremely social and loves people, smiles most of the time, except when hungry! He loves going for walks in the stroller or baby carrier and looking around at anything and everything. He can entertain himself for 10-20 minutes with his toys. An easy boy to love and spend time with.
Working from home:
One thing to note is that I work from home, in a separate room with a closed door. It is a real full time job and I am usually in meetings 80% of every day. I will not be hanging out in the apartment, just quick trips to bathroom and fridge. You will get privacy in the apartment. The nursery is a separate room and has a comfy electric reclining chair.
Still breastfeeding:
I am breastfeeding and wish to feed from the breast until we wean when he is a year old. We have test run this and it worked out well with my mother in law who has been watching the baby the last two weeks. When baby is hungry, she notifies me, he nurses for a while, I usually let him nap on me for 30-40ish minutes while I continue working (my colleagues are on board) and she/you get a little break until I bring him back out happy and fed. This is still fully workable with you and baby going on walks and trips around beautiful Brooklyn Heights between feedings.
Childcare style: I would call what we do an intuitive approach. We try to lean into learning from and listening to baby's cues more than setting up a rigid schedule and trying to force him to follow it. We are okay with aiming to do similar activities at similar times if that's your style, but if he's hungry he gets food and if he's sleepy he's allowed to sleep.
Let me know anything you are wondering about that I didn't write here!

A little bit about us
We are a family of four. I work in the city and my wife is at home with our two boys, ages 3 and 6 months. The job activities will vary. Some days we may need assistance with watching one or both of the boys, while other days we may need assistance with household work (e.g., tidying, light cleaning, grabbing groceries, etc.). The hours can be regular and we have flexibility depending on how much you want to work each week.

A little bit about us
Mom and dad are busy with work and have a full time nanny, but need a little help for the occasional date night when neither of us are on call. Occasional Fridays and/or Saturday nights.
Our baby is 9 months and a great sleeper, although teething has started requiring some comforting overnight occasionally.
Mostly looking for someone to potentially put him to bed or just be present while he's sleeping to allow us a few hours of reprieve.

What is an Infant Nanny in New York, NY
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 New York, NY? 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.
