A little bit about us
Mollie is a talkative and intelligent near 4 year old, and Miriam is 6 months old and very into watching people.
We're looking to replace our daycare for the two girls with in-home care. That means not just the general care and feeding of our children, but also developmental education e.g. sensory and motor development for Miriam, and the early reading/writing/sciences education for Mollie. Regular outside play is also heavily encouraged including fun and educational outings.
We have a finished basement that's basically a small apartment (minus kitchen) that can be dedicated to just the children.
Hours would be weekdays from 8:30/9am until 5pm.

Hello! Seeking nanny for overnights.
We currently have 1 child but will have a second come January.
We also have a very sweet golden retriever, a self-sufficient cat, and hens in the back yard.
My husband and I work nights together with a flexible schedule. Ideally, we would work 2-3 nights in a row per week and would need someone to stay overnight and part of the day between our shifts so we can sleep. You will be able to have time off during the late afternoon/evening in between night shifts after we have slept. We would prefer a 10 nights per month commitment but this may be negotiable. We would need to make the schedule with you a couple months in advance.
We could either pay salary (your pay would be steady rate while hours may fluctuate by week or month although they will never go over your agreed upon total hours) or you can have a fixed hourly rate (paychecks would fluctuate based on number of hours).
Pay can be negotiated--salary, hourly, or hourly day/night differential. Looking at about 30K/year, $15/hr. Of note, the majority of your hours will be overnight sleeping hours, which should make for easier work.
We have a spare room made up for you for now until our guest apartment has completed its current construction.
We may be open to a live-in if you prefer if the arrangement is going well.
Would like to have someone full-time, long-term starting spring. Will do trials this winter to see if it is a good fit for all.

What is an Infant Nanny in Scarborough, ME
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 Scarborough, ME? 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.
