A little bit about us
My husband and I are expecting our first child (a boy!) in August. We live in Petworth and moved to Washington DC in 2019. We both work from home, but my job does require me to travel for events often. We are looking for a nanny who can come Monday through Friday from 9-5pm, and occasionally provide baby sitter services on select evenings. Our preference would be to have a nanny who has proficiency in Spanish or French. We also have a dog at home who should not require any additional care other than the occasional walk, but that should not be a daily task since we hope to continue doing those walks as a family.

We’re looking for a full time nanny for our 5-month-old daughter. Monday - Friday 9am-5pm. We’d love to find someone long term as our family grows but would like to commit to 6 months, to start.
My husband, Mark, and I both work from home, but we have a great set up in our basement with a playroom, bathroom, and guest room so a nanny wouldn't feel on top of us hopefully during the day! We have a great neighborhood for walking and a sizable backyard.
We would love to find someone to help with dishes and daily vacuuming. Also looking for help with the baby’s laundry and the households linens and towels.
We have two very friendly dogs that will be around but do not require care! My husband is on dog duty.

I am looking for an overnight care person to watch my 3-month old about four nights a week from the beginning of February through early March. This position would involve keeping watch while he sleeps, changing him, assisting with feedings, and putting him back down to sleep after feeding.
We will eventually need a fulltime, daytime nanny starting in April. The person filling this nighttime position could definitely transition.
*Must be comfortable around cats.

Hi! We are expecting in November and looking for a nanny share with another couple in the Capitol Hill area of Washington DC, beginning in early 2025.
We are looking for a nanny who is bilingual and would work 8 hours per day (for example, 8am-4pm). We expect responsibilities will include standard activities such: feeding the infant, changing diapers, supervising nap times, engaging in age-appropriate developmental activities, maintaining a consistent routine, and monitor the infant's health. This role may encompass some routine housekeeping duties related to the infant's care, as well as regular communication with us about the infant's day and any notable events or concerns.
Ideally, the nanny would also be trained in infant first aid and CPR to handle any emergencies.
We are a very laid back couple! We are organized, energetic, and aim to be as supportive as possible of your role as a nanny!

What is an Infant Nanny in Washington, DC
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 Washington, DC? 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.
