A little bit about us

Hi! We will be first time parents in July 2021 as we are expecting a baby boy. I will be going back to work in fall (probably around 11/2021) and will be needing childcare Tuesday-Friday about 35-40 hours a week. We live in beacon hill right around the corner from a cute playground, a 5 minute walk from the Boston Commons and CVS/Whole Foods. Having a car is not necessary. We would appreciate meal prep and laundry for the baby if possible.

We are looking for someone long term who is honest, reliable (as our job schedules are inflexible) and most importantly someone who we can call family.

Price negotiable.

Please message me if you are interested in chatting some more.

A little bit about us

Currently expecting and would love to start exploring part or full-time care that would begin later this year. Help would be needed during daytime working hours, ~9-4pm M-T, with a shorter day on Fridays (9-12pm). We also have a mid-size dog, but wouldn't need assistance with him unless you are a dog person willing to help with mid-day walks :)

A little bit about us

Hello! I will have a baby in mid December and will need some help throughout the day. (I have flare ups with arthritis so I am concerned about the newborn's physical needs early in life.) I also plan to work part-time and may have to go into the office periodically. I have a 5 pound dog who is 13 years old (toy maltese) who is potty trained in pee pads and very sweet. He will not cause any trouble during your time. I am looking for someone who has lots of experience with children and newborns especially (ideally a career nanny) who is in it for long term. I also need someone who is vaccinated with flu, covid, and up to date with tdap. I'd like someone to start ideally in January 2025. Not sure of the exact date.

A little bit about us

I'm looking for a part-time but consistent sitter on Friday afternoons/early evenings. This would involve pick-up from daycare and school for my two kids, each of which are approximately 5 minutes away from my house.

You would need to have your own car and a car seat is a plus for my little one (if not, we can figure something out). You would then take them both to my house and stay there until I got home.

I would like to meet you live to assess fit.

Looking for help at the beginning of September.

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in Boston, MA

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 Boston. 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 Boston, MA

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.
