A little bit about us

Hello! We have 2 little guys that we are hoping to find a long-term nanny for. Felix is 3 and rocking preschool, and is silly, very loving, and curious. Samuel is almost 1, and so far loves being his brother’s little shadow. We also have a mid-size dog at home named Kylo.
Days/Hours: Likely 3-4 days, 7:30-5:30. During the school day those hours would change and would involve pick-up and/or drop-off - we could work together to figure out logistics.
Since they’ll probably be in some activities and school, their nanny would need a car and be comfortable with transport. Light meal prep (ex lunches) and light housekeeping, mainly keeping tidy whatever the boys and you would get into.

Please reach out if you think you might be the right fit for our family!

A little bit about us

I am expecting my first baby in May and looking for a nanny who has experience in newborn/infant care! Schedule is flexible, but I’m ideally looking for someone that can help out 4-5 days a week. As a (soon to be!) first time mother myself I honestly don’t know what “duties” will all be needed, but first and foremost is just general infant care (feeding, diaper changing, soothing, etc.). Assistance with meal prep and laundry would also be a great added bonus!

This will be a position that will watch one child for 5-6 hours per day for 2 days per week. **Very open to a nanny share!**

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in Traverse City, 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 Traverse City. 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 Traverse City, MI

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.
