The Shepard Family

A little bit about us

We are looking for a loving, engaging, and reliable nanny for Wednesdays, as well as for other occasional days and date nights etc., as needed. We are looking for someone who, ideally, will be with us long term! Our youngest (currently 9 months) will need care for the entire day. He is an extremely happy baby, fully crawling, and loves nothing more than to practice standing and eating! Our oldest (turning 4) will attend preschool in the morning and will need to be picked up and cared for in the afternoon. He loves anything cars & trucks, his little brother, and can play for hours. He has a great sense of humor and a sweet, sensitive side - and, at times thinks he is the boss! Our ideal nanny will be comfortable with setting boundaries when necessary and help our boys continue to learn to be kind, good humans. Preparing meals/snacks for the kids and light clean up after them while present is expected.

The Rivera Family

A little bit about us

We are seeking a dynamic, energetic, and outgoing nanny who can keep up with an active household. The ideal candidate would engage with our two toddlers ages 3yr and 4yr in a fun and creative way. The role will also include light meal planning and preparation, as well as light housework such as tidying up after activities. We are looking for someone who is enthusiastic, reliable, and can provide a positive and caring environment for our family. The schedule would be one day a week, with hours to be discussed based on availability and needs. Additionally, we may occasionally need help with date nights or other special events.

A little bit about us

Looking for a kind, responsible person to help our family during the school year with getting out the door in the morning for school, transportation around Swampscott and surrounding towns to activities in the afternoon/evening, and just being another trusted adult our family can lean on. 💙

We are open to creating a SET schedule based on university classes or another job, or can be FLEXIBLE week to week based on both of our schedules. The morning help before school wouldn’t be every day and when it is, it would be a split schedule (an hour or two in the morning and then come back in the afternoon once school is done). Either way communication will be key with some ahead of time planning when needed! 🗣️

*We are two parents who work mostly outside the home plus also travel overnight occasionally 👩🏻‍💻🧑🏼‍💻

*Children ages 15 (boy, high school), 12 (girl, middle school) and 9 (girl, elementary school) 🧑🏼‍🦱👩🏼👱🏻‍♀️

*Interest/ability to help get dinner started occasionally, make sure pre-sport snacks are eaten/packed before anyone gets hangry 🥍 🏊‍♂️ 🍽️

*Kid-related cleanup only (as in, making sure they clean up after themselves or help where they can’t) unless interest to help in other areas and we will pay accordingly 🧺

*We offer competitive hourly pay plus reimbursement for gas if driving beyond Salem/Swamp/Mhd 🗺️

*Must have own car and clean driving record. Drivers license required for school pickup verification 🚘

*References requested and happy to have you talk to prior sitters too 📧

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.
