A little bit about us…

My name is Alexandria, and my husband’s name is Cameron. We have three wonderful sons Cj, who is 14, Xavier, who is 12 years old, and Zachariah, who is just 2 months old. We live in Washington DC, where there are plenty of parks, shops, and fun activities to enjoy.

Our daily routine keeps us busy, but we always make time for family. I work as a social worker at CFSA, with my hours running from 8:15 AM to 4:45 PM. Cameron is a truck driver for Everfresh, starting his day early at 5:00 AM and returning home no later than 3:00 PM. Xavier is in school during the week and is usually home by 4:00 PM. Zachariah, being just a baby, will be the main focus of your care. He loves going on walks, being talked to, and interacting with those around him, so we are looking for someone who is energetic and engaging.

Our ideal nanny is someone who is not only great with infants but also active, patient, and trustworthy. Since Zachariah is so young, we want someone who will provide him with loving and attentive care throughout the day.

We truly value open communication, and we want you to feel comfortable as part of our family. If you ever have questions, need help, or just want to talk, we are always here. We hope this experience will be as wonderful for you as it will be for us.

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in District of Columbia

Before you start looking for a nanny job, it's essential to learn about the different types of nannies and how they compare to each other so that you make sure you’re looking for the right opportunities.

The different types of nanny jobs have different nanny responsibilities. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. However, in general, a nanny is responsible for making sure the children's needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example, housekeeping or meal preparation, it’s good practice to make sure your expectations are aligned with the family.

There are temporary nanny jobs, even seasonal nanny jobs like summer nanny jobs. Beyond seasonal and temporary nanny positions, there are differences between full-time and part-time nanny jobs. The primary difference being the number of hours you spend at your nanny job every week. For full-time nannies, there are options for live in nanny positions and live-out positions in District of Columbia. Live-out positions are more common, but each family has their own set of needs that require different types of care, and live in nanny positions can be exactly what some families want. If you're looking to explore live in nanny positions, it's even more important to create a shared set of expectations around hours, responsibilities, and what is expected of you when you're not on the clock.

If you're exploring other types of jobs beyond nanny positions, consider looking into cleaning jobs, pet sitting jobs, luxury fashion jobs, or elder care jobs.

How to Interview for a Nanny Job in District of Columbia

Once you start connecting with prospective employers, the next step is a nanny job interview. Here is a list of some nanny interview questions to prepare for:

  • What do you think children like best about you?
  • What kind of activities will you do with children this age?
  • How do you handle problems that arise behaviorally and emotionally with kids this age?

Beyond answering questions, families will want you to have your nanny references ready and ask any questions to show initiative. The nanny job interview is an excellent opportunity to get aligned on the nanny job expectations. By doing this, you can get off on the right foot with your future employer.
