A little bit about us

Hi! My husband and I are looking for a nanny for our son, he turned 2 this spring, he’s the sweetest boy, with lots of energy! We do not have any family in the San Diego area so we need a little extra help. Hours needed will range from 4-8 per week, possibly increasing in September as I will be in my masters program and working full time, and my husband will be in school full time (online) and working part time. Expectation is to keep our son safe, feed him (depending on the time and time frame you are with him), read to him, etc. No expectations to do any chores that don’t pertain to him. We will reimburse for a background check and would also like 2-3 references from previous families you have worked with (:

Two parents work from home in the Hillcrest area are looking for someone to care for our 14 month old for 20 hours a week.

She's adorable, funny and quick to smile.

We're looking for someone who has the energy to keep up with an almost walker. We don't do any screen time at all. Our daughter does enjoy age appropriate music, crawling around and playing with her toys and cruising along the furniture.

In terms of responsibility, we're looking for in home care. Help with feedings (we will likely have food prepared for her), and putting her down for her naps. We're actually struggling with her insistence to contact nap so someone with experience in this area would be great.

Aside from the basics, we are looking for some to encourage her learning and exploration.

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in San Diego, CA

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 San Diego. 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 San Diego, CA

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.
