A little bit about us

Hello! A 2-parent household is looking for someone to bring joy and engagement to our little darlings. K is 7 years old and getting smarter every day. A turned 4 in March and is more adorable than most. Mom works from home most of the time so can be called upon for certain tasks. Dad is enthusiastic and is looking forward to welcoming you into the family.

This is meant as both a long term position and to be spread across multiple people. This lends the flexibility that we can try to be accommodating with your hours. Our children are well-mannered like their parents and do not have any special needs beyond being loved. We have two older well-trained dogs and room for you to park your vehicle.

We are very flexible and offer some room for you to grow into other duties and tasks while being compensated for your time.

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in La Plata, 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 La Plata. 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 La Plata, 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.
