A little bit about us

The Baylor family is looking for a dedicated, reliable, and enthusiastic nanny to assist with two fantastic children, a nine-year-old girl in 3rd grade, and a eight-year-old boy in 2nd Grade. Our daughter is a fan of arts and crafts, yet she is equally at ease playing sports and getting dirty. On the other hand, her younger brother has a vast interest in cars, legos, and superheroes and possesses an incredible imagination.

Both children will be attending the same school, and we've always received positive reports from their previous sitters and care providers. Our household thrives within a structured, yet friendly and active environment where we love spending quality time together.

The nanny’s main tasks in the will be transportation to and from school, activities and home. You will also be required to prepare snacks and perhaps dinner and, on occasion, assist with bedtimes.

The work hours will ideally comprise a minimum of three days per week Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Assisting with morning drop-off from 7-8:30 am, then pickup and care after school from 4-6:30pm. Such an arrangement would involve additional help with light housecleaning, meal preparation, and possibly running a few errands.

Additional requirements include being proficient in spoken English, possessing a valid driver’s license, owning a car, and having valid certifications in first aid and CPR. Apart from this, experience in meal preparation and light housekeeping will also be necessary.

Overall, we are seeking a caring, passionate individual who loves working with children and can easily fit into our family dynamic. If you believe you fit this description, kindly get in touch. We look forward to meeting you.

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in Tacoma, WA

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 Tacoma. 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 Tacoma, WA

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.
