A little bit about us

We're looking for someone to help in mornings and evenings, most likely 3-4 days a week (Mon through Thurs), 2-3 weeks a month. I have a hectic travel schedule and my wife needs assistances getting kids to school (7:30-8:30 AM) and then help with schoolwork/childcare after school, usually 4-6:30 PM. There could be some additional childcare opportunities with longer hours as well, depending on her work schedule.

We have three kids, a boy age 8, and two girls age 6 and 3.

Responsibilities in the morning would be to help get lunches made, breakfast on the table, and kids focused to get out the door. In the evening, it would be helping with reading and math (more so making sure they're focused) and some dinner prep. We have an 18 month black lab who will also need some distracting as well.

We can flexible on some of the hours and days, but will need support a minimum of two weeks a month, and might need to adjust schedules a bit a week or so in advance depending on travel (would most likely result in added days of childcare)

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in Grand Rapids, MI

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 Grand Rapids. 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.
