A little bit about us
My husband and I are having our first baby (a boy!) in May 2020 and we are hoping to find a nanny share that affords some flexibility. We would likely start needing care in the end of August 2020 when I go back to work. I am estimating we would need between 20-25 hours per week, Monday through Friday, possibly more depending on his work schedule. He’s a police officer working midnight shifts and I am a school psychologist, so I’d likely need someone from 7 am- 1 or 2 pm each weekday. Again, these are estimates, but may change as we get closer to the time we need childcare. Strong references and clean driving and background records are a must. It’s important to us that our child care provider knows the importance of fostering communication, learning, and activities that do not involve screen time. We are so excited to welcome our first baby and hope to find someone we can nanny share with who will become a part of our extended family.

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in Merrimack, NH
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 Merrimack. 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.

- 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.
