This would be an in-home job: You don't need to pick kids up, drop them off, or drive them anywhere. Mom works remotely, so you’ll need to be comfortable/work well with a parent in the home.
We are looking for someone responsible, warm, compassionate, with a passion for the growth and development of young children, a positive attitude, and excellent relationship building and communication skills. Must have experience caring for infants. We have a dog, so being pet-friendly is a big plus!
We're excited to meet you, can't wait to connect!

How to Find an Infant Care Job in Queens, NY
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.

When you think you’ve found the right match, you can turn the discussion towards compensation and responsibilities.
What is an Infant Nanny in Queens, NY

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 Queens, NY? 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.
