A little bit about us
We are looking for a fun and interactive nanny for our family of 5. We have three girls ages 4.5, 6.5 and 8.5. Currently the older two attend a local elementary school full time with drop off at 8:15am and pick up at 3:20pm. The youngest attends preschool nearby and will be in school on MWF full days. We also have a friendly 7 year old basset hound and plan to add a puppy to the family in the springtime as school is ending for eager siblings to help with caretaking. Ideally we seek someone who is adaptable and able to multi task without getting overwhelmed. They must love animals (dogs specifically) as they are our family members as well, and we strive to incorporate love of and caretaking of pets into our children's lives. Must be a non smoker, CPR certified, and have their own reliable transportation. We do encourage walking to school as long as weather permits, but on occasion and in wintertime driving limited distances may be required. We don't have specific dietary restrictions. Light house duties to include laundry, dishes, and tidying and basic cleaning would be expected as well when children are not home. Weekly hours may be in the range of 20-30 hrs. Days of work would be Tuesday and Thursday approximately 7am-5pm. Ideally we seek someone with a little flexibility in their schedule for rare schedule changes from time to time. This role may expand to 40 hr work weeks mid May for summer nanny role with kids home full time. As such, the ideal candidate may be a local college student who has a wide open Tues/Thursday spring schedule and plans to nanny for the summer. We have had live-in international au pairs for the past 6 years and have always included them into our day to day lives and continue strong relationships with them all. We would love for this person to be a strong role model for our young growing minds and become like a big sister or aunt in their relationship with our girls.

What is an Infant Nanny in Grand Rapids, MI
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 Grand Rapids, MI? 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.
