A little bit about us

I am looking for someone to watch our son who is almost one year old once a week at our home. He currently goes to daycare on T/Th, so Wed is where we need the coverage. We are open to M/F opportunities if we meet the right person.

Start/End time is flexible, but 9-5 is preferred. My husband works from home 100% of the time and I am hybrid, with an ad-hoc in-office schedule.

We'd love someone that sticks to routine, enjoys working on age-specific milestones, and getting some fresh air throughout the day.

A little bit about us

I have 2 fun loving boys who need someone to hang out and have fun with for a few hours a couple times a week while both my husband and I are at work. They really are pretty easy, they entertain themselves, and know the drill of how everything works in our house. The days of the week may vary with my schedule but the time is usually between [phone number hidden] on Tuesday & Thursday or 1:00-5:00 Monday, Wednesday, & Friday. I would need my little one to be picked up from school by car. My oldest would also need to be picked up when he's out but his school is within walking distance from our home. We also have a small dog but there is no care needed for him. He will just laze around and play with his boys. Just mentioning in case of allergies.

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in Wilmington, DE

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 Wilmington. 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 Wilmington, DE

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.
