About us: The moms in the families have been close friends for friends since high school (over 20 years now). Our families have a stable, no drama friendship.

A loving, warm, caring person to take care of our baby girls. Enthusiastic about playing with them and interacting with them.
Someone who can communicate in English
Up to date on vaccinations, including covid
CPR trained

If you have a car, you have a clean driving record

If you speak Hindi or Russian, that's a huge plus since one of our families has a Russian mom and an Indian dad.
You're willing to learn baby sign language (or know it already!)
You have your own car
If you think you would be a good fit, please reach out to me, I'd love to talk to you!

A little bit about us
We are looking for a family with a similarly-aged baby who is interested in a long-term nanny share so that our kiddos can grow together.
Us: I am from Argentina and work in Higher Education. My husband is from Indiana, and works in biotech. We are low-key, want our kids to be safe and have fun. We keep our house clean, but not pristine. Our child raising philosophy aligns well with the Reggio model, but we also do our own thing.
To note: We need to host. We love animals and have 2 indoor cats. No smoking, no guns in the house. We are vaccinated and so are you!
Setup: We have hosted before, so we have pretty much everything: 2 playpens, double strollers for babies and for toddlers, 2 feeding chairs and tons of toys. We have 3 rooms devoted to the kidos (inside playroom, inside quiet room, outside art room) and yard. Walking distance to parks.
Nanny:> 5 y. experience (daycare & RIE), safe driving record, speaks Spanish with kiddos, does tons of crafts, reading and outdoor play.

What Are Bilingual Nanny Jobs?
Bilingual nanny jobs are positions where speaking a second language is a valued part of the role. Families may want their children to learn a language, keep up a language spoken at home, or communicate with a grandparent or relative. Your language skills can set you apart from other candidates and may support a higher rate.
Types of Bilingual Nanny Jobs and Responsibilities
Some families want you to speak only the second language with the children, and others want a mix throughout the day. Responsibilities can include childcare, meals, activities, and reading and playing in the second language. Jobs can be full-time, part-time, or live-in, so check the schedule and expectations in each posting.
How to Interview for Bilingual Nanny Jobs
Once you start connecting with prospective employers, the next step is a nanny job interview. Here are some questions you should ask:
- Which language do you want me to use, and how often?
- How fluent do you expect me to be?
- Do the children already speak the language?
- Are there other adults in the home who speak it?
- Is language teaching part of the role, or just everyday conversation?
Beyond asking these 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.
