How to Hire a Night Nanny in Plainfield, IL
Nanny Lane helps you find a night nanny in Plainfield, IL for overnight care and sleep support.
We offer nanny services including background checks, Agency, and nanny payroll. Start by posting a profile with a job description, and soon you can start connecting with nannies who fit your family.
What Is a Night Nanny?
A night nanny cares for your children overnight, often through the hours when a baby wakes to feed or settle. Many families hire a night nanny for a newborn so that parents can rest, and some hire one for older children who need overnight supervision while parents are away or working.
Common Responsibilities of Night Nannies in Plainfield, IL
A night nanny typically handles overnight feeds, diaper changes, and settling and soothing, and keeps a sleep log before handing over to the family in the morning. Some also help children build better sleep habits, as agreed with the parents. They are usually awake for part or all of the shift.
What to Consider Before You Hire
Agree on the nights and hours you need, where the nanny will stay, and whether they are expected to be awake the whole time. Overnight work can have different pay and legal rules from daytime work in your state or province, so agree the details in writing and consider nanny payroll. Ask about experience with newborns if that is your need.
Night Nanny Interview Questions
Once you find a promising candidate, invite them for an interview to see if they would be a great fit for your family. Here are some questions you can ask:
- Have you worked overnight shifts, and for which ages?
- How do you handle feeds and settling during the night?
- What is your experience with newborns and sleep routines?
- Are you trained in First Aid and infant CPR?
- What would you do if a child was unwell or would not settle?
At this stage, request their references and ask their references some questions. After preparing the job offer or contract, we recommend that you run a background check before the start date.
