A little bit about us

We're very negotiable as we have no help currently. We've only recently relocated to Ottawa, and we could use some help with after-school hours as well as an occasional weekend. Our daughter is 3 years old and very sweet. She loves dolls, baking (as long as she's eating), dinosaurs, and books. Our 6-year-old son is very energetic. He benefits from outdoor playtime, biking, swimming, hiking, skating, etc. He could also benefit from some homework help on occasion. Our requirements are flexible, but anything from 3-5 weekdays would be helpful. We'd like to enjoy some time by ourselves, hence the weekends. Ideally, you could pick up our son at 3 at Meadowlands. Our daughter may benefit from pickup, too, on occasion, negotiable. We do have a dog, but she is very low-maintenance. Let her out maybe once, that's it. We could also benefit from some light housekeeping help.

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in Ottawa, ON

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 Ottawa. 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 Ottawa, ON

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.
