Zoë Hemingway

South Boston, Boston$18/hr | 2 yrs experience

Hi! My name is Zoë, and I am a college student currently living in Boston, MA. As the oldest in a long string of cousins, I grew up with the responsibilities of caring for the children in my family. As I got older, I began babysitting for an extensive network of families in the community. I then pursued a four-year-long internship in an integrated-needs preschool, which inspired me to join the educational field. Working so closely, for so long, with so many students, opened my eyes to the needs of children from every walk of life. The inclusive setting of that classroom has given me valuable experience with modified sign langauge, children diagnosed with Autism and ADHD, physically impaired students, and children of all cognitive and behavioral levels. Childcare is absolutely my passion, and I can envision no better way to work towards my degree than caring for and teaching other tiny humans.

Have you considered a nanny share?

A nanny share is when one nanny cares for children from two different families. Each family saves significantly on child care expenses, while the nanny enjoys higher pay than the typical full-time position.

The Marton Family

& Lexi C

Boston$20/hr | 1 kid

Hi Boston neighbors - We are new parents in the Seaport and we just welcomed a baby girl, Emery, this February.

We are hoping to find another family to do a full-time or part-time nanny share with. We have found an absolutely wonderful nanny already and are just looking to welcome another companion for Emery into the arrangement. We can be flexible on hours (targetting 40-50 hours a week) and are happy to host here in Seaport or to split time in another home.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

The Fitzgerald Family

I work full time as a pediatrician and my husband works from home in marketing. We have a 1 year old daughter for whom we would love to have nanny share so that she may have a similar aged child to play and grow with. My husband and I work from 7:30/8:30am to 5pm Mon-Fri. We would love to have a rotating schedule between our home and the home of our nanny share family. We are generally flexible and relaxed, but like every parent, very dedicated to our daughter. We would love if the nanny is able to speak Spanish to our daughter as we would love for her to be bilingual.

Understand Nanny Responsibilities in Boston, MA

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.

Boston 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 Boston? 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 Boston?
Do you have a driver’s license in MA? 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.
