Mon-Fri 8:30-5:30, and have my son most of the time. *You would work 4 days/week, Mon-Thurs* and have 3 off: Fri, Sat, Sun [w/ some paid babysitting opportunities]. His mom has him every other weekend (Friday night until Sunday morning) + some other random days scheduled on the calendar.
My son is intelligent, a very energetic, talkative boy that asks a lot of questions and needs extra attention! He loves all kinds of construction vehicles, trains, dinosaurs, math, gardening, animals, cooking/baking, stories, swimming, playing outdoors and loves learning & conversations. He does push boundaries and can be oppositional so needs someone patient and kind but also firm with boundaries.
We are socially conservative, Christians (Eastern Catholics) and in a homeschool (HS) co-op. You don't need to agree with our religious outlook, just be respectful of it and cool with our textbooks discussing Jesus. That said, I work for an edibles company so I'm 420 friendly.
IF live-in (optional!) Part of your compensation would include:
-Private bedroom
-Private bathroom
-All utilities covered (power, water, A/C internet etc)
-All Meals at home (we will cook)
On top of that, we would offer a salary or hourly pay, which we'd negotiate.
Things you might do:
-Some cooking meals/meal prep
-Outdoor play (back yard, park, trails, etc).
-Some housework/cleaning
-Some homeschooling/education (basic reading, math, & random topics he's interested in).
-Taking him to classes (e.g. martial arts, HS co-op classes), & play-dates.
-Reading him stories.
-Doing crafts/activities, gardening.
-Patiently answering his many questions.
We live right next to a park and access to hiking trails and also have a roomy back yard open to gardening, activities etc. Looking for someone that would be happy with this arrangement!

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in Austin, TX
Before you start looking for a nanny job, it's essential to learn about the different types of nannies and how they compare to each other so that you make sure you’re looking for the right opportunities.
The different types of nanny jobs have different nanny responsibilities. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. However, in general, a nanny is responsible for making sure the children's needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example, housekeeping or meal preparation, it’s good practice to make sure your expectations are aligned with the family.
There are temporary nanny jobs, even seasonal nanny jobs like summer nanny jobs. Beyond seasonal and temporary nanny positions, there are differences between full-time and part-time nanny jobs. The primary difference being the number of hours you spend at your nanny job every week. For full-time nannies, there are options for live in nanny positions and live-out positions in Austin. Live-out positions are more common, but each family has their own set of needs that require different types of care, and live in nanny positions can be exactly what some families want. If you're looking to explore live in nanny positions , it's even more important to create a shared set of expectations around hours, responsibilities, and what is expected of you when you're not on the clock.
How to Interview for a Nanny Job in Austin, TX
Once you start connecting with prospective employers, the next step is a nanny job interview. Here is a list of some nanny interview questions to prepare for:
- What do you think children like best about you?
- What kind of activities will you do with children this age?
- How do you handle problems that arise behaviorally and emotionally with kids this age?
Beyond answering 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.
