A little bit about us

We're looking for a very part-time nanny for our baby, just for one morning (Tuesday or Thursday 8am - 1pm, you choose!) and probably Monday from 1pm - 6pm. One or both parents may be working from home or be at our offices, depending on the day/week, but neither parent will be around during the day. We would only be looking for help with baby's housekeeping (dishes, laundry, etc.) and dog care (which would entail letting him out back or taking him on walks if you're already going out).

We guarantee 10 hours per week, per the contract and offer paid sick leave. At least one car with carseat will be available to use, although we drive manual cars. Additional hourly pay for occasional date nights/events is available.

Additional pay per hour for native or fluent German speakers

Hi! I’m a mom of two (a 3 year old girl and 1 year old boy). I’m a nurse and need someone a couple times a week while my husband and I are at work. My schedule is pretty flexible and I can work basically any day of the week. I would need someone who can drive since our toddler will be in preschool 3x a week in the fall.

Hi! I have three lively little fun-loving girls. I am a wedding photographer looking for help on Saturdays when my husband and I are away shooting weddings. I am searching for someone who is comfortable driving my kids around to the library, playground, or other locations. We don't do a lot of TV in our house, but rather encourage our kids to play outside or read, or play with them! We'd be looking for someone who can "be a part of our family" as you'd be spending a lot of precious time with our kids.

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in Columbia, MD

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 Columbia. 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 Columbia, MD

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.
