Looking for nanny vs nanny share starting in May/June 2025 for our son, Mason who will be 5-6 months old. My husband and I both work outside of the house, about 10hr days. We also have two dogs that would be home during the day that would need some cuddles, refilling of the water dish, and maybe even a walk if you’re up for it. Work days would be Mon and Tues, with an occasional third day on Thu or Fri.

Hello!
We're Matt and Verdi Spark. First time parents to a bouncing baby girl (at the time of editing this profile she is 5 weeks).
We're looking to find a part-time nanny who can begin working on Sept 24th. The hours would be 10am to 5pm Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
A little about the household: M commutes to a FT job M-F, and V owns her own business in town. We also have 2 small dogs (under 15lbs), 2 cats, and 2 birds. There is no expected care for them involved because the dogs will be either be coming with V to work, or V would come home at lunch, but hopefully you don’t have an aversion to the pets.
Our ideal person is someone down to earth, friendly, patient, has their own car, has CPR and First Aid certifications, a few years experience with newborn care, and overall someone who loves their job. We would hope to find someone who can help maintain the routine we've been working on establishing with our nb, but are open to collaboration.
If this describes you, we would love to set up a time to meet over coffee/tea and see if we are a good fit for each other.
Thank you!

A little bit about us
Looking for care for our very happy baby, born August 31 2024 (so I don’t have to update every month with his age). He’s a very smiley babbler at 2 months, pretty easy going and curious about the world.
We are flexible in how we get our care needs met, but have very few hours to offer so a share with another family would likely be best. Starting in January 2025 we will need care Thursdays from 8:30a-6:00p. We have family coverage on Fri/Sat but would like to have backup lined up. Summers will come with slight changes.
Our home is open for care, but we have a senior dog and cat and we understand if that’s not optimal for carer or other families (about them: 15 yo, sweet and lazy mini aussie mix and 15 yo shorthair, both completely ignore the baby other than a sniff if he’s stinky or doing floor time, and manage their own outside time during the day with a doggy door). With that, we are open to considering care outside our home as well.
We are also open to swap equivalent weekly care with another family and are available Tues, Wed, and Sun. Both parents CPR certified and have worked with children in various capacities pre-parenthood, though we are not childcare professionals. If this is something we find ourselves in, care would be provided by mom, Stephanie, but dad, Luke is also home on Sundays. As far as expectations, we believe in minimal screen time for our child and also for us when he is awake, and getting outside at least once per day in all weather.
We would expect our caregiver to be active in our child’s development, be trained for emergencies (we are willing to cover cost of infant CPR/First Aid training), and have a car and be a safe and legal driver to allow for adventures/emergencies outside the home.

A little bit about us
Hi all! I am looking for care in my home in South Tacoma for my one year old for 30ish hours a week, starting in April through mid-August, with potential to extend beyond that. Days will be Tues-Fri but still working out the specifics!
A few things to note:
- My kiddo is super happy and silly. Not quite walking yet but very close.
- He still takes two naps a day. We don’t sleep train and he does still prefer contact naps, so ideally looking for a responsive caregiver who is okay with contact naps. He will sleep in the crib for some stretches.
- No driving expectations, but baby does love going for walks/outings in the neighborhood. We are walking distance to South Tacoma Way (Blue Beard, Howdy Bagel, etc)
- We have a dog and cat in the home. Dog gets excited when people come in the door but will otherwise sleep the entire day on the sofa.
- Light housekeeping duties, mainly tidying the toys and mess the baby makes (current favorite activity is pulling all the shoes off the shoe rack) and helping with baby’s laundry.
- We are an allergy/eczema household so ask caregivers to avoid perfumes or heavily scented hair products when coming to the house.
- Compensation negotiable for the right fit.
Please send me a message if you’re interested!

How to Find an Infant Care Job in Tacoma, 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 Tacoma, 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 Tacoma, 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.
