A little bit about us

Hello! I have 3 children who are in daycare but my husband and I both work full time so we are looking for help a few days a week to get the kids ready for daycare and drop them off, occasionally pick them up and then intermittent babysitting. The mornings would typically involve getting them dressed, making breakfast, driving to daycare and then light clean up/housekeeping (7-9am).
We also have a small dog who is friendly.
Grace is 3.5, Harrison is 18 months, and Audrey is 2 months old.
Looking for around 10-15 hours per week of help.
Thank you!

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in Massachusetts

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 Massachusetts. 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 Massachusetts

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.
