A little bit about us
Hello! I'm looking for a nanny share for my little girl. I need a nanny on Tues/Thurs, fairly flexible on start time, but end time around/after 6:30, so ideally would be looking for someone who needs a nanny Mon/Wed/Fri.
I am a music teacher and am in grad school for speech pathology, so will be working and taking classes throughout the days on Tues/Thurs.
My little girl has a very Irish name, and is very giggly and easily entertained! She loves long walks in her stroller, "The Very Hungry Caterpillar", and hanging out with our french bulldog, Petal.

A little bit about us
We are a fun, easygoing family with great references from our previous nannies before we moved cross country. The gist is that when you join us, you become part of our family and we treat you like such. We have a really fun boy who is 2.5 years old and we need nanny care for occasional date nights. Meal prep help, light housekeeping help is needed as well on other days, if you are willing but it's okay if you can't. We have two friendly cats and a dog.

What is an Infant Nanny in Palo Alto, 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 Palo Alto, 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.
