A little bit about us
We are seeking a nanny and a family to nanny share with us in SE Portland near Mt. Tabor/Montavilla 4 days/week (Monday-Thursday) approx. 8:30am-5:30pm starting in January 2019.
We are open to having our baby and our nanny share baby be watched at our lovely, clean, eco-friendly, freshly-renovated home with a large fenced yard... or going to our nanny share family's home--it just needs to be in same neighborhood and provide a similar environment as ours.
We do have a very sweet, short-haired dog, but she goes to work with my husband almost every day. She may need to stay home occasionally.
We are interested in a nanny who is familiar with and loves babies, has good communication skills, has great references, has infant CPR training, loves to take walks and be outside, values baby structure and routine, yet also loves to play, snuggle, be goofy, sing songs, etc.
Also, we plan to do cloth diapers and breastfeed (I plan/hope to pump at work and make sure there's enough milk for the day while I'm away).
If you are a nanny and like the sound of all this, than please share with us a bit about yourself, what you love about babies, what you value and enjoy doing on your free time, as well as share 2-3 nanny/professional references.
If you are a family interested in a nanny share with us, please share with us about your family, area in which you live, and what your hoping for in a great nanny share relationship!
Thank you

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.
