A little bit about us

My husband and I are seeking a full-time nanny to care for our newborn child Monday through Friday while we are working (approximately 8:30-6).

We have three other children who live with us part-time. They will be in school during the day, but we will want someone to pick them up from school and help care for them after school.

We also have a french bulldog, which will need to be looked after during the day as well.

We would like to find someone who has experience with babies, is good with school-aged children and dogs, has his/her own car and driver's license, with a clean driving record, and clean criminal history/background check. We are willing to negotiate pay and other aspects of compensation like paid time off.

We are also very cognizant of the ongoing pandemic, and it is very important to us that we find someone who will work with us on maintaining a safe environment for our family and minimizing the risk of exposure.

A little bit about us

Hello!

I am looking for a new nanny and a quick start, to start the week of the 13th. Ideally this person will be okay with approximately 20hrs per week, and live either in the McCordsville/Fishers area or on the Northwest/West side of Indianapolis.
I am a registered nurse and so full time for me is three days per week, which is what makes the hours part-time.
This is a split shift with the hours being 5:30-8am and 3:15-6:45pm and will involve transport to and from school.
My work hours are from 6am-6:30pm, and I typically work Monday thru Wednesday with an occasional weekend day (which can possibly be outsourced elsewhere if you have no weekend availability)
My boys are ages 5 and 7, so care will be minimal and involve more supervising/directing. They are very bright children and will need someone who is willing to engage with them and assist them with any afterschool activities such as reading or working on spelling.
I am happy to fill in details through private message and look forward to seeing if this may be a good fit for someone.

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in Indianapolis, IN

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 Indianapolis. 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 Indianapolis, IN

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.
