A little bit about us

Hi! We’re the Young family — Kaitlin, Callum, and our one-year-old daughter, Charlotte. She’s at such a fun and curious stage right now, and we’re looking for a nanny who can do more than just care for her — someone who will truly support her development and help her thrive.

Charlotte loves music, books, and exploring her environment. She’s observant, playful, and quick to giggle, and we’re looking for a nurturing caregiver who’s passionate about early childhood development. Someone who’s excited to introduce age-appropriate learning, sensory activities, language building, and new experiences as she grows.

We value calm energy, creativity, and communication, and we’re hoping to find a nanny who can become part of our team — not just a caregiver, but a developmental partner who’s invested in Charlotte’s growth and joy.

A little bit about us

We're looking for a loving, fun nanny for our daughter for M-F [phone number hidden]pm. You would need to give our daughter lunch and get her ready for her nap after she gets home from preschool. She naps or has quiet time for 1-2 hours and then it would be playtime. My husband and I both work from home in our offices full-time so you would have the rest of the house, backyard, and nearby parks to play. We would also very much appreciate some help with laundry, loading/unloading the dishwasher and light meal prep, as time allows. The nanny would need to have a driver's license, CPR/first aid, vaccinations including COVID, and a clean background check.

We would love part time care for our daughter Lydia as we are getting ready to go back to work. We both work full time from home and believe that we won’t be able to provide the daytime attention that she deserves (play time, etc). We can drop Lydia off and pick up at the nanny’s location

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in San Jose, 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 Jose. 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.

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.
