A little bit about us
Hi! Looking for a part-time nanny or maybe a nanny share (either 2-3 days a week or everyday with nanny supervising multiple children) for our baby girl - likely starting in October or November. We are looking for the right nanny, other family, and situation, and are quite flexible on the days, etc. that ends up being.
We are hoping to find someone energetic who will expose our baby to sights and sounds outside the home (visit parks, museums, etc.) and willing to spend a lot of time talking, singing, and reading to baby.
Our work balance is flexible, so the days/hours can be flexible as well as weeks (or even months, as requested) off during the year.
Baby will be around 5 months and likes to be held and go outside to see things, but is otherwise very easy going.
Would be a plus if nanny is willing to unload dishwasher and complete some basic errands.

Hi! We are new(ish) to the area! I grew up in Fairfax and my husbands job has brought us back to the area from Birmingham with our 6 month old son! Jack is the sweetest boy ever and pretty chill! He’s always got a smile. We are looking for a family or families and nanny to do a share with! I work Tuesday - Thursday 9-4 downtown, so it would be part time! What would likely work best is to join two other families already sharing and join them :)

A little bit about us
We are first-time parents, due November 24, 2018. We'll be looking for full time childcare for our 9-month-old as of August, 2019, although could possibly start earlier if need be. We are committed parents, who both work full time in academic settings. It is important to us that our child have individualized attention in a safe and loving setting with developmentally appropriate learning activities so she can grow, learn, and thrive. As a family, we enjoy outdoor activities, reading, biking, and spending time together. We love the idea of sharing a nanny with another family in the area with a similar childcare philosophy, to allow more personalized care and relationships.

Care for a sweet 6 month old baby girl starting March 3rd. Happy to host in my home. Pet free home with no additional responsibilities other than care for the child. Would prefer another child roughly similar age. Full time 7-3:30 pm-ish some days will be a later start time and end time. But those would be general hours.

What is an Infant Nanny in Alexandria, VA
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 Alexandria, VA? 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.
