A little bit about us
We really want to have a positive relationship with our nanny, so we try to be as generous as possible. If you like certain snacks, we'll get them. If we are going out of town, get sick, or otherwise don't need child care on any given day, we still pay $22 per hour for 8 hours for that day.
We don't need someone with particular skills, training, or background, or someone to hold the girls to a specific, regimented schedule. All we're looking for is someone who exercises sound judgment and who enjoys watching children and will help them learn about the world around them. You could do that by hanging out in our house (in the A/C in front of the TV) and playing with the kids, walking to one of the many parks, coffee shops, or grocery stores around the house, or doing any number of other activities the city offers.
We have three dogs (two are small, <15 pounds, and 8 and 9 y/o; one medium, ~40 pounds, 7 y/o) who are extremely friendly and don't require much upkeep.
Also, my wife and I typically are able to work from home most days of the week, so we're always available to help out with anything that comes up.

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.
