Our baby, Milo, will be 8 months old in August, when I return to work as a teacher three days/week (M-W). He's an adorable, giggly little guy who loves playing peekaboo, reading books together and singing songs.

The hours will probably be either 7 or 8am-4:30pm on those days.

We're open to a nanny share in our neighborhood.

A little bit about us

Hello! I’m a new mom heading back to work in a few weeks. I’ve spent the last couple months in bliss with my bright-eyed baby boy.

As a creative director at an advertising agency, I have a busy schedule. My husband works in wealth management, and has more job flexibility to help with daily childcare.

We love road trips to Maine, beach days, movie nights and most of all - spending time with our new little!!

A little bit about us

We have a 3 year old daughter (in preschool) and a 14-month-old son. Our son has been in daycare since 4 months old and loves being social, dancing, and singing, but he gets sick a bit too much so we would like to keep him home for the next year with a full-time nanny. We are hoping to set up a nanny share with one other family with a child around the same age.
Most of the job is being very present with our happy-go-lucky kid, and making sure to speak with him, read him books, play music, and enjoy outdoor time. He is very friendly and loves new people. We would ask the nanny to avoid screentime, and otherwise be there to play, coordinate meals and naptime, and do small chores when there is time.
We are located in Somerville, less than a 10 min walk from the green line in Magoun and 15 min walk from the red line/commuter rail in Porter. We have a driveway with parking as well, a fenced side yard with grass for the kids to play, and a dedicated play room with gates and a kids' bathroom.

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in Somerville, 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 Somerville. 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.

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.
