My husband and I are looking for a nanny for our (almost) one year old daughter. We have a newborn also (born in April) and both work from home, so we just need a little help entertaining and caring for our oldest daughter a few days a week. She is a lot of fun! Very busy and curious. She loves to play, read, and go on walks.

FT Experienced Nanny for 1 11-month old boy in SE Portland. Our son is happy, easy going, and a definite sweetheart. He loves blabbering, turning the pages while reading books, exploring the neighborhood on walks, popping bubbles & playing w/ his Montessori toys. No screen time in this household, but he loves to listen to audio books (in many languages), podcasts and of course music while he plays. Our ideal caregiver has at least 3 years of full-time nannying experience w/ children 1 - 2 years old (no, babysitting does not count or experience you had when you were not an adult), can interact & educate our child - read books to him, do physical & mental exercises, sing. They are creative, playful and fun loving but also responsible and safe. Huge bonus if they are fluent or proficient in Spanish or any other language. Start date on or before January 4th. M-F 8:15 - 4:15pm; guaranteed 40 hours/week, holidays and PTO.

Hello! I’m a new mom to a 10 month old baby girl (She will be 1 in October). Both dad and I work in a school. Since school is virtual due to Covid, we will both be home. I need someone M-Th from 8ish-12pm. It would be great if we could find someone to also do laundry while baby is sleeping and help keep up the house.

A little bit about us
Looking to start or join a nanny share in North Portland starting mid-June! We have a 3-month-old son. We live in St Johns but would be open to joining up with families in the greater North Portland area. Looking to join with one or two other families with young children/newborns.
Ideal Schedule: 4 or 5 days a week; Mon-Thurs or Mon-Fri from 8am-4pm (hours are fairly flexible)
Pay: $13-17 per family (open to discussion)
We would ideally like to split hosting days between families or have another family that can host full-time, as our townhome is a bit small. My husband and I both work from home so we are open to negotiating the hours/schedule to find what works for all.

What is an Infant Nanny in Portland, OR
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 Portland, OR? 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.
