Start Date: August 11th | $20/hr (cash)
2 weeks paid time off December 22–January 2
We’re an happy family in La Mesa looking for an experienced full-time nanny to care for our baby boy, who will be 4.5 months old in August.
We live a healthy, active lifestyle and love cooking, spending time outdoors and enjoying San Diego! I’m Australian and my husband is American
We believe in gentle, responsive parenting with consistent routines, minimal screens, and lots of love. We value open communication, collaboration, and a good sense of humor—because babies are unpredictable, and sometimes the only thing you can do is laugh.
I work from home in an outdoor backyard office, and my husband is mostly out of the house.
We’ve got a very sweet Aussie Doodle and a Ragdoll cat who may try to join story time.
Our son is super chill, eats well, sleeps well, doesn’t cry unless there’s a reason. In August, he’ll be 4.5 months old - just hitting that super fun age where the baby giggles start
⸻
We’re seeking a native Spanish speaker who will speak exclusively Spanish with him. We’re not fluent ourselves, but we’re wanting to learn—and we hope to send him to a bilingual school. Language exposure and connection are extremely important to us!

• Full care for our infant during the day
• Engage in age-appropriate activities that promote language, motor, and social development
• Speak Spanish only with Harland
• Maintain a daily log or send texts with updates
• Light housework during naps:

• Baby laundry
• Keep nursery tidy
• Occasional meal prep help for us
• As he grows:
• Comfortable driving him to activities (using our car)
• Prepare healthy meals for him
⸻
Requirements
• Native Spanish speaker
• CPR certified
• Clean background check
• Strong references from past families
• Infant experience required
• Bonus: enjoys cooking and healthy food prep

A little bit about us
Another family and I both have beautiful girls born almost 2 weeks apart we are looking for care starting in August (when they are 3 months) Monday-Wednesday for both girls and potentially Thursday for 1 girl exact times will later be determined but should be about 8 hours from around 8am-4pm. We have two sweet dogs so you would have to be ok with dogs in the house
We would love someone with experience working with 2 families and 2 children at the same time. We would also love someone who has some knowledge in child development either by past experience or formal school.
Some responsibilities include Caring for the 2 girls, feeding them, cleaning up after them, and taking them outdoors.
Bonus points if you can speak another language. I speak Spanish and my husband speaks mandarin but any language you can teach the girls would be amazing.

How to Find an Infant Care Job in La Mesa, 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 La Mesa, 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 La Mesa, 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.
