A little bit about us

Looking for a RELIABLE adult child to watch our minions. We have 7 children(4 of which are furry friends) but you’ll only be responsible for the talking ones. Our older 2 are virtual so they’ll be in classes most of the day. And the almost 3 year old will hopefully be in someone’s preschool 🤞🏽. So you’d literally just be here to feed them and make sure the house doesn’t burn down. Lol. If you have a flat rate price that includes reaching out 3yr old a preschool curriculum (I’ll create) vs just having the older two for a few hours , please message me.
Our kids are pretty entertaining, we would like someone long term if possible. But if not, someone who will create great memories with them. You’ll never work weekends and your hours will come during the day. Sometimes you’ll be on call as my job is demanding. But I will try to stick to an agreed schedule on a weekly basis.

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.

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 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.
