A little bit about us

We are a warm and busy family looking for a reliable, caring, and proactive nanny/housekeeper to help care for our 1.5-year-old son and support our household. Our son is in daycare during the day, so the role would include a mix of childcare in the afternoons/evenings and household support while he is at daycare.

Childcare responsibilities include helping with daycare pickup (if needed), preparing snacks/meals, engaging in age-appropriate play, and assisting with evening routines. We are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys toddlers and can provide a safe, nurturing, and positive environment.

Household responsibilities during the day include laundry (washing, folding, and putting away clothes), light cleaning and tidying, kitchen cleanup, dishwasher loading/unloading, basic organizing, changing linens when needed, and simple meal prep for the family and child. We are not looking for deep cleaning, but rather someone who can help keep the home running smoothly and organized.

The ideal candidate is dependable, organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable taking initiative. Prior experience with toddlers and household support is strongly preferred. CPR certification, a valid driver’s license, and references are assets.

We are hoping to find someone kind, trustworthy, and long-term who can become an important part of our family’s routine.

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in Boston, MA

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 Boston. 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 do you handle problems that arise behaviorally and emotionally with kids this age?

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.
