A little bit about us
His autism is a-typical, and he is a very sweet, happy, and affectionate child.
I am looking for a live in nanny to simply be there with him Monday-Friday, about 8 hours each day, and to take him to occasional appointments. Overtime or weekends would not usually be requested, however; being in the Navy, I can't promise it would never happen. I will always work to minimize it!
I am not looking for anything extra such as housekeeping, meal prepping, or animal care, however; I am open to discussing it.
I live in a very large house, and you would be staying in the mother-in-law room downstairs, and would have your own bathroom. Sadly, I do not have a separate kitchen, however; whomever I let into my home is completely expected and encouraged to utilize common spaces.
My only expectations are:
1. My bedroom is my space, and off limits.
2. My office is off limits.
3. No other persons in my home without prior discussion.
4. If you make a mess, clean it up.
That's pretty much it.
I am unsure if it is typical of hiring an in-home nanny, but I will, if desired, include food/meals as part of the job.
I am open to discussing specific arrangements, and any concerns or needs you may have.
This job will be through February 2023, however; once my retirement is complete, if the Nanny is interested in following us to Idaho, we could certainly discuss that arrangement as well.
Thank you for your consideration!

What Are Short-Term Nanny Jobs?

Types of Short-Term Nanny Jobs and Responsibilities

- 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.
