A little bit about us

We are seeking a compassionate, patient caregiver to support our son, Weston, who is 7 years old and is autistic (ASD), has ADHD, and developmental differences.

Weston is a curious, thoughtful child who communicates in his own unique way and thrives with caregivers who are calm, observant, and willing to meet him where he is. He enjoys routines, movement, and exploring the world around him, and benefits from extra support during transitions and in busy environments.

This role is less about traditional babysitting and more about connection, support, and co-regulation. At times, Weston may become overwhelmed, which can look like dysregulation or attempts to leave an area (elopement), especially in stimulating settings. We’re looking for someone who can remain calm, provide a sense of safety, and help him navigate those moments with patience and care.

Responsibilities may include:

Engaging Weston in play and activities at home or in the community
Supporting outings (parks, walks, local activities)
Assisting with routines and transitions
Working collaboratively with parents to maintain a consistent, supportive approach

Experience with neurodivergent children (autism, ADHD, sensory needs) is strongly preferred. We value a neuroaffirming approach—someone who respects Weston’s communication style and focuses on building trust and connection rather than compliance.

This role is a great fit for someone studying education, psychology, OT, speech therapy, or a related field—or anyone who brings empathy, curiosity, and a willingness to learn.

Bonus for people who have experience with Level 2 or Level 3 autistic children, whether as an RBT, BCBA, speech/OT, Floor Time, or special ed in a school setting.

Regular hours week-in, week-out, probably between 10-13 hours per week after school until 8pm or 830pm.

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in Columbia, MD

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 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.

How to Interview for a Nanny Job in Columbia, MD

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.
