A little bit about us
This March, I'm looking to fill a full time- live in position approx 45-51 hrs a week. Average pay is $800/mo but includes the benefit to live in (apartment) rent free, furnished room, and includes utilities, basic groceries, internet, Xumo stream box with cable TV channels, use of car & gas primarily for picking up/shuffling kids around. We also like to include you in any family activities, and will cover the costs as much as possible (going out to eat, b-day parties, occasional outings to local events etc)
I work full-time in office, 9am-5pm. Looking for care M-F 8:30am- 5:30pm, plus twice a week, I also need care in the evening from 6:30pm-9:30pm on Tues. & Thurs.
For Childcare exchange/swap option, I am available to look after kids MWF 6pm-10pm, & weekends I'm free all day, or 2pm-10pm.
A little about me & the girls:
We are fun, loving, & active girls. We love going on walks, playing at the park, riding bikes, scooters, skates, & dancing Ballet Folklorico. I am a vegetarian and try to feed my kids mostly healthy meals but they are not vegetarian. We speak English at home, but the Au Pairs we've hosted have spoken Spanish to the kids so they know quite a bit of Spanish. A bilingual caregiver would be a plus, but not a deal breaker. I prefer to limit screentime to just a little bit in the evening.
The 5yo is in Kinder, and needs to be picked up from school each weekday. The 2yo is a feisty, funny, loving little girl who is home all day but enjoys trips to the library, park, and other toddler activities/outings. Let's connect!

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in Austin, TX
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 Austin. 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.

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.
