A little bit about us
We are a professional family in Rochester looking for a reliable, long-term partner for our two sons, ages 5 and 4 months. We treat our nanny as a professional peer and aim for a low-stress, organized environment.
The Schedule
We use a consistent split schedule to cover the morning and evening transitions:
Monday–Thursday: 7:00 AM – 9:00 AM & 2:00 PM – 6:30 PM
Friday: 7:00 AM – 9:00 AM & 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Key Details
Stable Income: We guarantee 30 hours of pay every week, even when we are away or don't need the full schedule.
Early Weekends: We prioritize family time on Fridays and consistently aim to have you off by 5:00 PM (or earlier).
Midday Break: You have a long break in the middle of the day. When you return at 2:00 PM, you'll have 90 minutes in a quiet house to handle kid-related chores like laundry and meal prep before school pickups begin.
Logistics: You’ll handle drop-offs and pickups for kindergarten and daycare. A family car is often available, but you’ll need a safe vehicle for backup, with mileage reimbursed at the federal rate ($0.725/mile).
Pay & Benefits: $22–$26/hr depending on experience, plus 1 week of PTO and paid holidays.
We’re looking for someone who is proactive and wants a stable, long-term fit with a supportive family. If this sounds like it fits your life, we’d love to hear from you.

A little bit about us
We’re the Clearys, lifelong CT residents excited for our move to MN. Colin, 30, starts as a student doctor at Mayo Clinic in June, and Jen, 29, is a teacher who will be job-hunting for part-time work this summer. Violet (2) and Emerson (6m), love books, music, and playtime- we avoid screen time and encourage imaginary play. We also have a 2 year old Goldendoodle named Noah who loves playing with the children. We are planning to have a caretaker for between 2-4 hours/day during weekdays to care for the children when Jen is working.

We are looking for a long term care giver to join the family, at minimum, for 1 yr. At the time of starting the job in January, care would be for a 4-month-old, and potentially our 2-year-old. Our 2yo is currently in daycare, however we are looking to transfer her into a school program. If anything, this position would be watching both the infant and the 2yo for a short period of time until our 2yo gets accepted into the school program. We will compensate accordingly for care of 1 child vs 2. Our infant is currently in the NICU and will most likely have neurodevelopmental delays; she has a g tube for feeding so experience w/ g tube feeds & special needs is preferred. We would like a nanny who has their own car, who does not smoke, who is comfortable with pets (we have 3 dogs), is okay w/light housekeeping and who is CPR certified.

Hello, my name is Mahogany. I am Lukus mom. Lukus is 9 months old, very happy baby. He loves to play, he is very active. Lukus eats his baby milk about every two to three hours through out the day, he likes it to be warm. He can also eat the baby food that they have. He is not walking yet but crawling for right now. He can stand his self up but with assistance and guidance. He likes to put everything in his mouth, please make sure to watch him as he crawls. He is teething as well so he might get fussy sometimes but not all the time. He loves watching ABC’s and his numbers. if you have any other questions please feel free to ask, I don’t mind the questions. Dad is also in the picture as well, his name is Matt Kalmes. He will be helping with dropping Lukus off or picking up. Also, if there’s anyway the nanny can drop off that would be greatly appreciated and added in as travel expenses.

Hi! We may be looking for a full-time nanny for our three kids starting June or July 2023. We have boy/girl twins due in March, who would be around 3-4 months when care starts, and an older boy who would be just turning 2 years old. We would be looking for a nanny who cares for the kiddos like her own and, of course, would treat you as part of our family. Would love if you were willing to help out with some light housekeeping and meal prep, but we also know it will be busy enough with three littles to look after! I know we are very early in the search process, but finding full-time care for three littles is daunting and we're hoping to find just the right match for our family!

How to Find an Infant Care Job in Rochester, MN
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. Start by telling families about yourself in your profile, and then chat with families to find the right fit. When you think you’ve found the right match, you can turn the discussion towards compensation and responsibilities.
What is an Infant Nanny in Rochester, MN
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 Rochester, MN? 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.
