Hi everyone!
We’re looking for a part-time nanny to help care for our newborn, who is expected to arrive at the end of July/early August. This would start as a full-time position since we are first time parents and could use all the guidance and help we can get, but it will end up being part time after the first month or two. We are hoping to find someone flexible and reliable since the schedule may vary depending on our work commitments.
We’re based in the Tustin/Irvine area and would love to find someone nearby who has hands-on experience with newborns and has a warm, calm presence.
Ideal Start Date: Early to mid August (with some flexibility for the right person)
Schedule: Part-time, flexible hours; will vary week-to-week
Pay: Competitive and based on experience
Required Qualifications We’re Looking For:
Experience caring for newborns and infants
Infant CPR and First Aid certified
Up-to-date on vaccinations (including Tdap, flu, and COVID)
Comfortable with a variable schedule
Reliable transportation
Willing to undergo an extensive background check
Strong communication skills
Gentle, nurturing, and patient demeanor
Non-smoker
Caregiver or their partner cannot work around chemicals
Nice-to-Haves:
Background in early childhood development or education
Willing to do light baby-related housework (bottles, baby laundry, etc.)
Familiarity with sleep routines, swaddling, and soothing techniques
Okay with occasional evening or weekend hours if needed
We’re a warm, laid-back family looking for someone kind, trustworthy, and nurturing. If you or someone you know might be a good fit, please reach out with your availability, experience, certifications, references, and anything else you'd like us to know. We’re excited to find someone who can become a trusted part of our little one’s world and an extension of our family!
Thank you!

How to Find an Infant Care Job in Irvine, CA
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 Irvine, CA
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 Irvine, CA? 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.
