A little bit about us
We need someone who can help us 10-20 hours a week. We both work from home and are therefore flexible with our schedule.
Our son, Atlas is 1. He is curious, mild mannered, and is a wonderful sweet young boy.
Our nanny must be a dog lover as we also have 3 furry children. All our dogs are kind, mellow and socialized.
Our ideal nanny is honest, organized, responsible and takes initiative.
Typical nanny duties are expected, anything child related; feeding, food prep, organizing, laundry for the child, take the him for a walk etc.
If you think you’re the perfect nanny for us, please reach out! We would love to meet you!
Cheers,
Yvonne, William & Atlas

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.
