A little bit about us
We would love a nanny dedicated to only taking care of children (please ignore our mess/laundry/dishes/etc). There are currently no pick-up or drop-off responsibilities given our son's age, and while we have a small dog (corgi, very friendly) we would not expect you to take care of her either. My husband works from home M-F, 9-5 and I am usually in the office (6 minutes away from our home). Helping us teach our child respect, curiosity, and the importance of cooperative behavior from a young age is essential, so we're looking for someone who is consistent, eager to help him explore and engage with the world around him, and is a kind and patient communicator.
We're a screen-free house and, because it's not particularly large, try to spend plenty of time outside with Evan when we can. Books, puzzles, and just being part of the action are things we're discovering he really enjoys.
Being CPR certified is a must! Happy to do a nanny share with any parents in the area with a similar philosophy.

What is an Infant Nanny in Cambridge, MA
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 Cambridge, MA? 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.
