A little bit about us
I am an adjust professor at Indiana University. For the spring semester, we need an in home nanny twice a week while I’m at Indiana University teaching.
Looking for about 10am-4pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays from January-April. We will reevaluate after that spring semester.
Our daughter, Ollie, will be two months old in January. We are following the Moms on Call daily routine and would love it if our nanny could implement the same system while I’m away. We are using cloth diapers.
We have a cat and a dog - no care required for them. At most, let the dog outside if he gets to be “too much”.
Additional responsibilities: washing bottles and any feeding equipment and occasional laundry of diapers and/or baby clothes.

A little bit about us
I’m looking for a nanny only from May 4-7 while my significant other and I go on vacation. My children will be in school so I would need assistance very early in the morning because my mother works at the airport and needs to be there at 5:00 a.m. therefore I would need a nanny at my home around 4:00a.m. Most likely my children will be asleep during this time. I would need a nanny to help the younger children get ready for school and help them catch their school bus. The last child gets on the bus around 8:30-8:40a.m. and then you may go. I haven’t finalized plans yet but may need to get the children off the bus and watch them until 5:00 in the evening and from there my mother would take over. While you’re in my home you can do light housekeeping in thought of cleaning up after the children. You can make them snacks after school and my preschooler would require lunch as he returns home around [phone number hidden]p.m. I do have a friendly dog that would need to be let in and out to go potty while you’re here and also make sure her water bowl and food dish is filled. I have a 3 year old named Hunter whom is speech delayed. I have a 6 year old daughter named Haven, and a older child whom is 13 and his name is Harlan. Harlan has ADHD that is controlled with medication and he would need to be given his medication before school. I know this is in advance but I need to prepare now. I can negotiate on pay rate as well. Thanks in advance!

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.
