Hi! Our sweet baby boy will turn 1 in September and I will be going back to my work in education. I work September- June and ideally would like to build out a 10-month contract for that time-frame (summer off), continuing if possible. How great would it be if you were in the same boat!?
We are open to hosting or sharing in hosting a nanny share.
Ideally you have a child in the same age-range as ours and share in similar parenting styles. We are an active, healthy family and like to provide opportunities each day to be in nature and interact with a variety of stimuli. It’s important to us to find a nanny with experience and knowledge of child developmental stages and best practices. We are looking for someone who engages and provides a structure with lots of stimulating age-appropriate activities.
Please reach out if it sounds like we might be a good fit for both our needs!

How to Find an Infant Care Job in Seattle, WA
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 Seattle, WA
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 Seattle, WA? 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.
