A little bit about us
My husband, son (2.5 month old) and I just moved to Fairfax from Houston, Texas. I’ll be working in DC and have a hybrid schedule of going into the office Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and work from home Monday and Friday. My husband is also hybrid but he will only be going into the office once a week and working from home most of the week. We’re looking for someone to help us part-time with our son while we’re working. Since my husband and I are hybrid there will always be someone home with the baby, but there will be times we have to focus on work and having a nanny that can just watch the baby and feed him for a few hours would be of great help. As of now, we’re thinking of having a nanny come Tuesdays through Thursdays, 4 hours per day. This might increase to 5 hours per day we aren’t sure yet.
Our expectations for the nanny are pretty simple, we would like them to just focus on our son. Take care of him when he’s fussy, feed him when hungry or just play with him while he’s awake. Other responsibilities would include washing his bottles, prepping his bottles for feeding, washing any dishes that might be in the sink and washing babies clothes if there is any. Since he’s only 2 months old, his routine is pretty simple for the most part, eat, play, sleep and repeat. If this sounds like a great fit for you, please reach out!

What is an Infant Nanny in Fairfax, 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 Fairfax, 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.
