A little bit about us
We like to keep the kids active, engaged, and on a routine. We aren’t an overly strict household, but we do believe kids thrive with consistency, so our weekdays generally follow the same routine. We’d love someone who can help maintain that structure while still having fun with the kids—playing outside, coming up with activities, keeping them engaged, and helping things run smoothly.
The kids are in school on weekdays from approximately 9:00 AM–4:00 PM, so this is not a traditional Monday–Friday, full-time nanny position. Most of the help we need will be on weekends, occasional weekdays, and during overnight trips when Mom and Dad are away. Our needs change from week to week, we do not currently have a set schedule.
Some days may include after-school pickup for our two youngest children. You must be a confident and responsible driver with reliable transportation.
Responsibilities may include caring for and supervising the children, preparing simple meals/snacks, helping maintain their normal routines, planning age-appropriate activities, school pickup when needed, light tidying related to the kids, and helping care for Francois as needed. Most importantly, we want someone who can be warm and playful with our kids while still providing the structure and boundaries they need. There may occasionally be overnight care while we travel, we’re especially interested in finding someone we can build a long-term, trusting relationship with rather than simply having an occasional babysitter.

A little bit about us
Our ideal caregiver is someone who genuinely enjoys caring for infants, is attentive and nurturing, and is comfortable following our daughter’s routine, including feeding, naps, playtime, and general baby care.
We also have two large, energetic dogs who are very much part of our family. They are friendly but can be excited and active, so it’s important that anyone interested is comfortable being around large, energetic dogs.
If it’s something that works with your availability, we would also love for our Wednesday nanny to become our occasional babysitter. We’re hoping to find someone we really trust and can build a relationship with, so we can reach out for occasional date nights, date brunches, or other times when we need childcare.
If you are interested, we would love to hear a little about you, your childcare experience, availability, and references!

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in Kansas
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 Kansas. 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 Kansas
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.
