A little bit about us
Our son, Isaac, is 9.5 months old now as of 7/23/23 and weighs 19 lbs.
We live in a three bedroom / three bath condo in Koreatown.
Isaac is crawling on all fours and cruising between pieces of furniture.
He has some moderate eczema on his cheek/chin/neck area and occasionally on his body.
He has so far what we know to be a mild allergy to a few things like peanut butter, avocados, and tree nuts.
SITTER JOB DUTIES
We are looking for a sitter who is Flexible, Open to feedback, Gentle, and Patient.
The types of duties we are expecting our sitter to be able to handle include: (1) Developmentally appropriate play; (2) Feeding food/bottle prepared by Mom; (3) Take Isaac out for short strolls/walks or visiting nearby parks; (4) Regularly changes diapers; (5) Putting Isaac to sleep in his crib.
We will also be interacting with Isaac during the day by occasionally playing with him, eating with him, nursing etc.
INFORMATION RE: SCHEDULE
We are considering hiring a part time (mornings) or full time (morning to afternoon) sitter for Tues to Friday of each week depending on the type of person.
The morning start time is open for discussion - but we are thinking of a start time between 7:30 and 8:00 am.
The afternoon end time will generally be about 5:30 pm on days that Mom is not working from home. On days Mom is working from home, the end time may be earlier – around 5:00 pm. This is something we can also discuss further.
WAKE WINDOW AND NAP SCHEDULE
Isaac usually wakes up around 7:00 am.
His first morning wake window is usually between 2.5 and 3.5 hours. Ideally, his first nap will be between 9:30 am and 10:30 am.
As long as he stays mostly active during his wake windows - his daytime naps have typically been between 60 and 90 minutes but can occasionally be shorter or longer.
His second wake window is usually between 3 and 4 hours. Ideally, his second nap is around 2:00 pm-3:00 pm.

How to Find an Infant Care Job in Los Angeles, 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 Los Angeles, 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 Los Angeles, 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.
