Mission Bay, San Francisco$30/hr | 1 kid

We are a family in Mission Bay looking for a full-time (40-45 hours/week, M-F) nanny. We are soon to be first-time parents of a baby boy, who will be 2 months old when we need care at the end of September. We both will return to work full-time in October but will be working from home a few days a week.

Our ideal nanny is experienced, warm and caring, great with infants, and excited about establishing a long term working relationship. We are looking for someone who enjoys engaging with babies and toddlers, and who will initiate fun, age-appropriate activities throughout the day.

Given our work schedules, we’re also looking for someone who is willing to take on a bit of responsibility beyond childcare to help our household run smoothly. Childcare is of course the top priority, but during naptime we’d like you to do some light housework and meal prep.

How to Hire a Nanny in San Francisco, CA

Nanny Lane is a nanny website to help you find a nanny in your area. Our nanny services include background checks, nanny contracts, and nanny payroll.

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in San Francisco, CA

Before beginning the search for a nanny, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a nanny is the right choice for your child care needs. In hiring a nanny, first, you should think through what responsibilities you expect your nanny to handle. With that information, you can create a profile so that nannies can reach out to you. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. In general, a nanny is responsible for making sure your 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 communicate these expectations with your nanny before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location can impact how much you should pay your nanny.

San Francisco Nanny Interviews

Once you start connecting with prospective nannies, the next step is a nanny interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some nanny interview questions to consider asking:

Do you have experience being a nanny?
How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?
What sort of household tasks are you open to doing?
Are you open to a live in arrangement in San Francisco? Do you have experience being a live in nanny?
Are you open to being a nanny in a nanny share?
Do you have any references?
Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in San Francisco?
Do you have a driver’s license in CA? Do you own a car?
What salary are you seeking? Are you open to being paid through direct-deposit, pay stubs?
What are your expectations around over-time pay and vacation time?

During the hiring process, it’s essential to ask for references, and by asking their references questions you gain a better understanding of they will fit in your family. As you get closer to hiring a nanny, be sure to run a background check to ensure your kids are in good hands. When evaluating a prospective nanny, it’s essential to make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your nanny. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around nanny responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming! And of course, as you learn how to hire a nanny, Nanny Lane's nanny services are here to help you along the way.
