A little bit about us
We are in need of care for 31 hours per week. The ideal candidate would be fun and outgoing, with a creative and gentle approach to childcare. We have three children: 6. 5-, 5-, and 3-years-old. The older two are in school, so the job is primarily for our 3-year-old. You would also be caring for our older two children for about 1. 5 hours per day (when they get home from school). Our children are obsessed with the outdoors, so the majority of the day will be spent outside when the weather allows. Otherwise, they all enjoy reading, crafts, and a variety of toys. Normal kid stuff! A few other notes: - We have 2 hounds, so must like dogs! - We ask that you are a nonsmoker. - We require that you are trained in CPR. - We are pretty firm on the hourly rate. If this job sounds perfect for you, please reach out!

A little bit about us
My wife and I both work in healthcare and with our busy schedules, we need someone to watch our 2 kids Mondays *and* either Tuesdays or Wednesdays. We live in a house in East Grand Rapids and have a black lab who is well-behaved. We have really nice and friendly neighbors, and we enjoy staying busy and doing fun activities. Additional needs include having a reliable car, being up to date on vaccinations, being comfortable with pets and being a non-smoker. Due to our healthcare jobs, it is important that we find someone reliable, since we do not have the luxury of being able to take off work regularly. Start time would be as soon as possible.

How to Find an Infant Care Job in Grand Rapids, MI
If you’re looking for an infant nanny job, you’ve come to the right place! We can help you find an infant care job in your area.

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.
