A little bit about us

Need a nanny to take care of mainly our 2 year old. I am starting school in the fall and will need around 32-34 hours of care per week while I attend class and do homework. Two or three days a week you will be responsible for picking up the other children from the bus and watching them for about an hour while I commute home. We have one dog, but you will not be responsible for more than just letting him into the yard. Our two year old is very fun loving, a sweet child who loves to play outside and play any type of sport. He also loves story time, trucks, and friends!

A little bit about us

Our daughter is looking for a caregiver to take her on walks, read to her, and play games while we work from home in our basement office. She needs someone energetic and kind. If you are familiar with a child on oxygen and a pulse ox monitor, that's a plus. We live in a quiet community in Columbia with easy access to Rt. 29 and I95. We are open and accepting of all persons. Our home has lots of room and a nice deck and back yard. If you have questions during the day, we're here to assist! We also have a wonderful senior labrador who will sit with you all day. You will not need to walk him, just give him pets and love. We would appreciate if you cleaned up anything resulting from caring from our daughter. We have a house keeper and no other house work is expected. Thank you for considering us!

A little bit about us

Liam is nearly three years old and very energetic. He has a pleasant demeanor. He is on the autism spectrum, so I'd prefer someone with knowledge in this area. Liam has some speech delays and is receiving therapy, but he can communicate what he wants.

This temporary role lasts 1-2 months, working two days weekly and occasionally on weekends (ongoing).

You will need to accompany Liam to local daytime activities.

A little bit about us

Hello! We (Calliope - Mom and Sayan - Dad) are looking for a nanny to take care of our son Ronen on Tues and Thurs (9am-5pm; exact hours flexible) starting in August in Columbia, MD. He will be about 10 months at the time (currently 7 months). We are looking for someone with experience with babies and children, who is warm, nurturing, can take Ronen on walks during the day (we live in a walking friendly neighborhood), read to him, and play with him. We also want someone who is attentive to his drinking/eating schedule, as he's a little guy who can't afford to lose weight. Mom may be working from home on some of the care days. Please note we have 2 cats at home - so must be okay with cats/not allergic :)

A little bit about us

We are currently looking for a nanny for a nanny share between our two families. We are hoping for someone who is able to work 8-5 on weekdays, although we have a bit of flexibility here. Our nanny would also need to be okay around pets (cats and dogs) although they would not be your responsibility. We would love a little help with some light housework but more than anything we are hoping to find someone who is able to engage with our children and create a lasting relationship. We can't want to meet you!

A little bit about us

We are a loving inter-generational family in Columbia, MD. We have a 9 month old baby boy and two and a half year old toddler. Baby is playful and highly communicative. Toddler is observant, talkative, speaks clearly, loves to sing and enjoys playing and talking with caregivers. He knows numbers up to 100, the alphabet, shapes and colors and is learning to read common words and simple sentences.
We have a nice back yard with a pond and live in a quiet neighborhood with access to multiple playgrounds. Our ideal nanny will use objects around the house, craft projects and nature to create opportunities for language learning.
We work from home part of the week. Nanny will be needed consistently twice per week, ideally Tuesdays and Thursdays to provide care in the afternoon to evening, ideally from 2 to 7 pm. Plus may also be needed 2-3 days extra per month while parents are working away from the house. Grandparents also live in the house and will be available to step in if needed.

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in Columbia, MD

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 Columbia. 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 Columbia, MD

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.
