Both parents work from home and are looking for someone who can confidently step in and take the lead during the day. We are hoping to find a nanny who is naturally engaging, comfortable getting on the floor to play, talking and interacting throughout the day, and truly enjoys being an active part of a child’s routine. This is not a role where someone will be hands off, but rather someone who is fully present and involved. We value a screen free environment and appreciate a nanny who understands how to balance interactive play with encouraging independence as our daughter grows. Above all, we are looking for someone who feels like a natural fit in our home.
The ideal nanny is:
• Energetic, engaging, and able to keep up with a very active infant
• Naturally interactive and enjoys being present, playful, and involved
• Knowledgeable or interested in child development and milestones
• Aligned with a Montessori-inspired, child-led approach
• Comfortable encouraging independent play while staying engaged
• Proactive and confident taking initiative throughout the day
• Warm, positive, and easy to communicate with
• Comfortable working in a home where parents are present
Spanish-speaking candidates are a plus but not required

How to Find an Infant Care Job in California
If you’re looking for an infant nanny job, you’ve come to the right place! We can help you find an infant care job in your area. Start by telling families about yourself in your profile, and then chat with families to find the right fit. When you think you’ve found the right match, you can turn the discussion towards compensation and responsibilities.
What is an Infant Nanny in California
An infant nanny is a nanny that specializes in caring for newborns. They are skilled in diapering and providing care for any rashes, swaddling, bathing, feeding, and burping. Some infant nannies further specialize in care for premature newborns or multiples.
Preparing for a Nanny Interview for an Infant Care Position
Once you start connecting with prospective employers, the next step is an infant nanny job interview. Here is a list of some infant nanny interview questions to prepare for:
- What is your specific experience with this age group?
- Are you Infant CPR/First Aid certified in California? Are you willing to be trained?
- How do you handle a crying baby?
- How often do you usually offer parents updates during the day?
- What do you feed an infant? At 0-3 months? 3-6 months? 6-9 months? 9-12 months?
- How do you set up the infant’s crib for a nap?
- What kind of activities will you plan to engage my baby?
You should be prepared with your references for past nanny jobs, and ideally, past infant jobs. Prior to the infant nanny interview, be sure to think about questions that you might have for the family. This is a great time to ask questions about the responsibilities and compensation for the infant nanny position. To make sure everyone has a shared understanding of the role and responsibilities, we recommend asking for a job offer or a California nanny contract. By doing this, you can get off on the right foot with your future employer.
