A little bit about us

I am an associate manager in the restaurant industry, working 10-hour shifts five days a week. Weekends and some holidays are a must.

I have four beautiful children who love to play on our street with all the other children and visit our neighborhood pool in the summers. I have one who plays soccer and would need assistance getting to and from practice/games. Another daughter who enjoys dance and would also require pick up and drop off for these practices. We're pretty low-maintenance people and try not to jam pack our schedules and encourage "free play." We do participate in the occasional summer camp. Meal prep would be necessary, as well as light cleaning (dishes, general pick up).

A little bit about us

We have a baby that is getting ready to turn 2 in September, who is the primary need for childcare. We also have a 7 year old but she is in school so she will not be around when you are here when school is in session (except for the days school is not in session). Both are full of energy and happy children. They are good sisters to each other and play well. We also have a Boston Terrier named Hulk, a cat named Peter Parker, and another cat named Gaga. Cats come and go on their own via the cat/doggie door. Hulk will need walked a couple times during the day. Light house cleaning and meal prep needed.

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in Lexington, KY

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 Lexington. 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 Lexington, KY

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.
