Hi, I'm starting a new temporary job and I'm in need for a full time nanny for approximately 2 and a half months, starting next week or as soon as possible and lasting till the end of November (or probably longer). Me and my husband will work mostly in the office, but some days we will stay to work from home.
My daughter's name is Sonya, she is sweet, she loves to cuddle and smiles a lot. She enjoys drawing and playing with sand. She loves being around older kids, especially girls (and they love her back!). So the perfect match would probably be with an elder girl, but not necessarily.
I will need someone to take care of Sonya Monday-Friday, 9am-6pm. We speak Russian at home so I would like a fluent English speaker to take care of her, so she would become bilingual (she understands some English and even knows some English words).
Sonya has her own room, it's not big, but kids can play there.
We don't have any pets.

We are from Russia, but lived in Shanghai for 5 years. My daughter's native language is Chinese. She also speaks Russian and leaning English. She is very independent, positive and friendly girl. I prefer Chinese or Russian speaking nanny. I need nanny for a weekend (Friday-Sunday) and 1 day during the weekend (7pm till midnight). Also for a period of my traveling (7-10days) nanny needs to live in my apartment for that period and take care 24/7.

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.
