Hi families! We are in search of another family to join our nanny share short-term, April thru June 2020. The family we’ve been with the last year is enrolling their child in daycare in April and we are moving out of the city at the end of June but would love to continue with our wonderful nanny until then.
We’re looking for a family within a 10 min walk of where we live in East Lakeview (Oakdale and Sheridan) in LP or Lakeview to host full time of trade off houses every 2 weeks (we’ve done this the past year and it’s been great). Our current hours are 8:00am-5:30pm M-F. Our daughter will be 15 months in April so would prefer a family with a similar age child.
The situation would be perfect for a teacher looking to finish out the year or a family waiting for a daycare spot to open in July! Our nanny would also be open to continue working with you on your own or with another family in a share situation when we depart. Happy to provide more details upon request.

This job will be for the week of August 17th, 2026 to June 11th, 2027.
One of us is an educator so service will not be needed for holiday breaks throughout the year. Those will be communicated at the interview.
Our son is 3.5 years old. Our daughter is almost 2 years old. The 3 year old is day-time potty trained and the 2 year old is in early potty training. Our oldest will be in preschool, so it will really only feel like 1 kid at a time with the exception of their quiet time transitions.
We need coverage between the hours of 9:00am to 3:00pm on Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday.
We are looking for warm, engaged individuals who will read, work on developmental skills, and converse with them during play time. Our children do not do screen time.
Our expectations are for someone to support them in their playroom or our backyard and engage in activities, feed them lunch (some light pre-work like cutting fruit and toasting bread), and putting them down for naps. A pickup of toys in the playroom (encouraging both children to help as well) and washing the dishes that they use is requested as well. A parent works from home and will be around.
We have 2 cats who are separated by a gate, but you may come into contact with them transitioning the kids to other areas.
We would love to learn more about you and see if you would be a wonderful fit for our family!

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.
