A little bit about us
Hello!
We are looking for a nanny or a nanny share in our area to work four to five days a week. The days and times are flexible, but my work schedule is generally 8-4:30.
A bit about the job: we have a baby girl on the way, will be born in December 2024, and a 4.5 year-old, very sweet, smart, strong, silly, and adventurous big sister! We are looking for care for our newborn from when she is about 4 months old (March or April) until she can start daycare in September 2025.
Responsibilities will include supervising and engaging in playtime with her, lunch and snacks (including some prep and clean-up), picking up toys after playtime, putting her down for naps, reading books, going for walks in the stroller, and occasionally doing her little kid laundry. No regular care needed for her big sister, but there may be some odd days when she is home (if her school is closed).
We value time in nature, reading, music, creative play, lots of FUN! and of course, safety.
Let us know if you're interested! We would love to meet with you.

A little bit about us
We have two boys, Santiago (1) and Ferdinand (3) and are looking for part-time help to care for Santiago at home.
We are a trilingual household, but Spanish and German are daily and primary languages spoken at home.
We are looking for a nanny who can speak Spanish or German in addition to English to help manifest our kids' primary languages at this early stage.
We need 20-25 hours of help per week starting in September 2026. The exact schedule can be determined further down the road, but could include half-days every day starting in the morning, or be 2-3 full days per week. We have had experience with both schedules before. For example, hours could vary from 8:00 a.m. to about 4:00 p.m.
There are instances where we may need help dropping off the older kid at school and/or picking him up from school, but that would be coordinated with you based on your availability.
Our expectations of your role do NOT go beyond child care - we want you to soley focus on taking care of Santiago.
We want our kids to spend a lot of time outside, and would like you to take the younger one to parks, music class, OMSI, libraries, farmer's markets, etc. This is why personal transportation (car + insurance) is necessary.
We are a very flexible family and respect when things come up (when life happens). What is most important to us is reliability, trustworthiness, and transparency.
We want to work with someone who can integrate to some extent with our family and feel like a part of this crazy bunch.

A little bit about us
Need part time childcare for my sweet and happy 10-month-old daughter roughly 1-2 days/week for around 4 hours each day in the late afternoons. Duties include minor dishes and food prep, minor clean up/vaccuum, supervised play and learning, reading books, and changing diapers. We have two very friendly indoor only cats who will also be around but no actually care is required.
My daughter is very busy learning how to crawl and able to pull herself up to stand. She loves books, singing songs, playing peek-a-boo, going for walks in the neighborhood, and trying all the new foods! She takes naps twice a day and will likely sleep for a portion of the time we'd need care. We prefer someone come to our house for these reasons. Plus we have all the gizmos and gadgets a baby could need here!
It would be an easy part time position with opportunities to add more hours potentially in the future or for date nights. We'd love to see if you'd be the right fit for our family!

How to Find an Infant Care Job in Portland, OR
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 Portland, OR
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 Portland, OR? 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.
