• Attentive and present, engaging in conversation and play
• Comfortable caring for children with minor illnesses (cold/flu season)

A little bit about us

Working parents/hybrid.
We are looking for a trustworthy, caring nanny to help with our son before and after school. In the mornings, we need someone to arrive early, make sure he’s dressed and ready, prepare his meals, and then drive him to school. After school, we need the nanny to pick him up, bring him home, help him change into comfy clothes, and ensure he eats a snack or meal. We’d also love some engaging activities at home afterward, if needed. Light housekeeping and meal prep are part of the role, and since he’s a picky eater, we’ll help you learn his preferred meals. If you’re reliable, patient, and enjoy working with kids, we’d love to hear from you!
* “We’re looking for someone warm and active, who enjoys engaging in fun, screen-free activities with our son. Creativity and enthusiasm for play are a must!”
* “A valid driver’s license and a clean driving record are essential for this role.”

A little bit about us

We're looking for a sweet, active nanny share for our 3-month-old baby. She is currently in daycare but we are looking for more structured, personalized attention. Both parents work from home so the right nanny would be able to take walks, go to the park, etc with our child. We want her to have a happy, healthy, fun environment to grow with so please apply if you're an active, hands-on nanny! Some light tidying up (in the nursery and with bottles/dishes) would be part of our caregiver's responsibilities. Once she starts eating solids, some basic food prep would also be required :) Hours would be 9am-4 p.m. M-F. Please note that we have two sweet dogs.

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in Houston, TX

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 Houston. 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 Houston, TX

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.
