A little bit about us
Since having children, my husband and I have be able to manage sharing the watch of the kids while each of us work. However, since taking an "at-home" position, I've got about 4 hours of work every Tuesday where we are needing help.
To build in some "kid-free" time, we'd like to have you watch them every Tuesday from 8am-5pm. Due to Kindergarten and Pre-school coming up in the fall, this job would be starting now, and go through the summer.
Responsibilities would include making breakfast and lunch for them, and then otherwise just play. Play can be educational or crafts or bike rides or going to the park or baking etc.

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.
