A little bit about us
Dad is bilingual English/Spanish and mom only English and we do want to teach our daughter how to speak both languages so it’s ideal for someone to be bilingual but not necessary.
We’d also like someone to be able to drive to our home and provide care in our space - drivers license is necessary. We have two dogs - a lab mix about 3yrs old and a cocker spaniel who’s almost 12. They are very easy going once they get to know someone but as long as you’re okay with dogs sniffing you and wanting to love on you, you’ll be just fine.
We’re looking for someone more mature with childcare experience who will also be patient with us as we’ll probably be a bit anxious (could you tell? Baby isn’t here yet and we’re looking for our peoples). Ideally we want to be able to breastfeed and nurse but are ready to switch gears if needed.
Ultimately we’re a high work performing couple trying to learn how to adjust and make space for a new family member and we’d like to not use daycare if we can avoid it. The “right” person isn’t easy to find! We don’t think we’ll need full time care since dads schedule is more flexible but as she gets older and mobile that will probably change. Relationships are very important to us! So someone feeling comfortable with us and vice versa will really make the difference. We want someone who will love being at our home with our baby and we do believe that makes all the difference.

We have a 20 month old son who loves spending time with a playmate. Our nanny is awesome!!! She is bilingual (English/Spanish), very experienced, really sweet and fun with the kids, and great at coming up with activities and bilingual learning for them throughout the day, along with lots of (safe) outdoor playtime. She prepares and feeds breakfast, lunch, and snacks
independently, but following our guidelines. She follows instructions well and is experienced enough to make her own judgement calls when needed. Very trustworthy and dependable, and easy and reliable with communication. Currently she works 7:30 - 3:30, and I watch the kids after that if the other family picks up late. This could be adjusted if needed.
I am a high school teacher in PG county and my husband and I both currently work from home (on a different floor from where the kids hang out). Both our family and the nanny's family take covid precautions very seriously and would expect the same of the new family.
We currently pay her $15 an hour total, but split this evenly between the two families.
We are looking for a toddler, boy or girl, who is relatively close in age. We are open to more flexible schedules or less than full time care, but prefer a family who could continue our current M-F, 7:30 - 3:30 hours. The nanny has also been willing to work overtime any time we have asked.

A little bit about us
We would like minimal screen time. Lots of educational interactive play.
We do have a dog but there is no expectation to care for him. No expectation to clean or do any housework except in relation to the baby and yourself. Ie. Cleaning up after a spill or putting things back where you found them after eating etc.
We are an easy-going family but will have strict expectations when it comes time to requests. Ie our method for potty training, the fact we are planning to breast feed for an extended period, nutrition etc.
I hope to welcome you into our home and our family.

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.
