We also have a golden retriever, but no expectations to care for him, but he might demand pets :)

Ideal Schedule: 4 or 5 days a week; Mon-Thurs or Mon-Fri from 8am-4pm (hours are fairly flexible)
Pay: $13-17 per family (open to discussion)
We would ideally like to split hosting days between families or have another family that can host full-time, as our townhome is a bit small. My husband and I both work from home so we are open to negotiating the hours/schedule to find what works for all.

We have a dog and a cat so you'd need to be comfortable with pets. No meal prep necessary, but some light housekeeping if baby gets down for a nap would be appreciated! We understand that's not always possible.
Hoping to find someone who loves caring for infants, can help her meet her developmental goals, and help her get fresh air during the day. Also would love to find a family for a nanny share with similarly aged childcare needs!

We are looking for someone who can come to our place in the Cedar Mill neighborhood.
We are looking for people who respect and love babies and can manage their emotions when the baby cries or gets upset. We don't believe in punishment, but we do hold good boundaries. We don't believe in letting babies cry it out alone; instead, we hold a loving space for them and their emotions.
Azure does very well with other kids and pets, so we've had success with people who bring them to the nanny session with Azure.

Catalina (a Registered Nurse) & Elliot (a Carpenter) work away from home while Eric (Graphic Designer) & Olivia (Art Director) work from home. The plan is for the kids to be taken care of at Catalina and Elliot’s house with the convenience of Eric and Olivia being available for emergencies one house away.
Here are some things to note of Catalina and Elliot’s house. They have a very friendly Mini AussieDoodle named Caper 🐕 who will be present in the house while caring for our girls. Caper is used to staying home by herself for full work days but when someone is home with her she asks to be let out a couple times a day into our fully fenced yard. All that you will need to do is open the door when she asks and then let her back in again when she returns to the door. The house is equipped with heat/air-conditioning and a covered deck just off the kitchen. Some light housework should be done, essentially putting the house back together as it was a the start of the day (ie. activities put away, laundry in basket, bottles in dishwasher, etc.).

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.
