A little bit about us
Hello! We are interested in finding a family in outer NE or SE to join us in a nanny share. We'd want to find a family that could commit for at least one school year, ideally longer if it felt like a good fit! We are looking for care two full days per week during the school year, ideally Tuesdays and Thursdays.
A bit about us: I am a middle school teacher and my partner works at a non-profit. Our baby is a sweet and chill 4 month old (will be 10 months in August). We value clear communication and building relationships & community! We are a queer biracial family and we believe in compassionate parenting styles that focus on empowering kids while also holding appropriate boundaries to everyone safe and healthy. We also have a part-time dog (every other month).
We live in outer NE but I work in SE Portland, and so a nanny share with another family in NE or SE could work for us. We are up on our COVID and flu vaccinations and are open to discussions about COVID/flu/RSV precautions. I will mention that our dream dream scenario is to find a nanny for our nanny share who could speak Arabic with the kids and another family who was interested in that. But our top priority is just finding a nanny and another family we are values aligned & logistics aligned with.
Also, we do have some flexibility with days & times for the nanny share, so if your needs are similar to ours but not exactly the same, feel free to reach out!

What is an Infant Nanny in Portland, OR

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.
