We're looking to find a part time nanny for our little boy starting in August 2025. He'll be 9 months old when you start working with us.
Hours would be consistent each week, likely starting at 2 days per week (W, Th), with the option to expand to more days. Exact hours can be discussed, but looking for full days ~9:30am to 4:30pm. You would be in our home in Costa Mesa with our little guy, who will be 9 months old when you start, and dad working from home in closed off office, but there if there's ever an emergency. (We do also have a sweet, 7 year old dog who is incredibly friendly, he won't require your attention, but you must be okay with a dog.)
Would appreciate it if you're open to very light housework/tidying while baby naps - mostly just cleaning up after baby, maybe doing a load of his laundry.
Definitely open to discussing a "salaried like" pay structure to guarantee your pay even on days where baby is sick or times we're on vacation. As well as allotting you a limited number of paid sick days if you're unable to make it and paid vacation days for your own time off.

How to Find an Infant Care Job in Costa Mesa, CA
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 Costa Mesa, CA
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 Costa Mesa, CA? 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 nanny contract. By doing this, you can get off on the right foot with your future employer.
