A little bit about us
I have two daughters, ages 3 years and 6 months, and I’m looking for someone warm, reliable, proactive, and flexible to help while my husband is away for work.
The role will vary a little from day to day. Some days may involve caring for one or both of the girls, while other days I may be with the children and need more help with things around the house. I’m really looking for someone who is comfortable stepping into a true mother’s helper role and helping wherever needed.
Responsibilities may include:
* Caring for my 3-year-old and/or 6-month-old
* Planning creative, age-appropriate activities for my 3-year-old, with a strong preference for screen-free play
* Taking the girls outside, doing crafts, reading, imaginative play, sensory activities, etc.
* Preparing simple meals or helping with meal prep
* Children’s and household laundry
* Light cleaning and tidying
* Helping keep the kitchen and common areas organized
* General household help as needed during the morning
The ideal person is creative, energetic, nurturing, organized, and able to take initiative rather than needing to be directed throughout the day. I would love someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with young children but is also happy to switch gears and help with household tasks when needed.
Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–1:00 PM
Duration: October & November
Children: 3 years old and 6 months old
Please message me with a little about yourself, your childcare experience, availability, and references if you think you would be a good fit!

What Are Short-Term Nanny Jobs?
Short-term nanny jobs are temporary positions with a set end date, such as covering a parental leave, a family move, a summer, or a gap between nannies. They suit nannies who like variety, are between jobs, or want to try a family before committing.
Types of Short-Term Nanny Jobs and Responsibilities
Short-term jobs can be full-time or part-time and last from a few weeks to several months. Responsibilities are the same as in an ongoing job, with an emphasis on getting up to speed quickly. Check the dates, the hours, and whether there is a chance of the role being extended.
How to Interview for Short-Term Nanny Jobs
Once you start connecting with prospective employers, the next step is a nanny job interview. Here are some questions you should ask:
- What are the start and end dates, and could the job be extended?
- Is the schedule full-time or part-time?
- What is the reason for the temporary role?
- How will I be paid, and is there a written agreement?
- What routines and house rules should I know on day one?
Beyond asking these questions, families will want you to have your nanny references ready and ask any questions to show initiative. The nanny job interview is an excellent opportunity to get aligned on the nanny job expectations. By doing this, you can get off on the right foot with your future employer.
