A little bit about us
We are looking to keep this arrangement at least until he is 6 months old in late January and possibly until he turns 1 in July next year when we will be looking at full-time daycare. If it works out great for everyone it could be longer.
We have one dog who is about 3 years old, she will be going to daycare twice a week from 8-5 and otherwise would be home. We are both hybrid workers but I primarily work from home. So, for a shared arrangement, ideally it would be in the other family's home, but our home has enough space that we could remain separated. For the part-time arrangement, my husband and I would aim to work outside the home on the days/hours the nanny was working, and would stay in our office while the nanny was there if we did end up working from home.
We prefer a non-smoker with reliable transportation who is okay with (ideally who likes) dogs. CPR and First Aid certification is a requirement. As our son gets older, we would like a nanny who has a sense of developmentally appropriate activities like playing outside, crafts, games, books, etc. versus relying on screentime.
The only responsibilities would be related to childcare, but a little light housekeeping related to the baby like washing bottles, emptying diaper pail, or light tidying up before the end of the day would be asked.

A little bit about us
We are open to another child coming to our home or alternating during the week. The day consists of morning play, a kids trip to play (library, play area or class), nap, and afternoon of walks to the park or just general play. Our nanny incorporates reading time and developmental activities as well. There is no TV time during the nanny hours.
My husband and I work remotely in our own offices and rarely venture out with the kids outside of grabbing food but are available if there are any issue or emergencies where we would need to tend to the kids. We have a friendly little chihuahua mix in the home but he is kept in the rooms with us.
Please do reach out with questions or if you are interested in joining a nanny share!

You should be prepared with your references for past nanny jobs, and ideally, past infant jobs.

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.
