A little bit about us
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.

Our little one (Rosamond) will be 7 months in January. She will need love and nurturing at home while we're at work and on certain occasions while we work from home. We do have a goofy Labrador and a friendly house cat that like to hang around so comfort with pet interaction is required. Other than that, just some basic house tidying related to baby care would be ideal. We’d love to meet you if you’re interested!

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.
