A little bit about us
We currently have 1 child but will have a second come January.
We also have a very sweet golden retriever, a self-sufficient cat, and hens in the back yard.
My husband and I work nights together with a flexible schedule. Ideally, we would work 2-3 nights in a row per week and would need someone to stay overnight and part of the day between our shifts so we can sleep. You will be able to have time off during the late afternoon/evening in between night shifts after we have slept. We would prefer a 10 nights per month commitment but this may be negotiable. We would need to make the schedule with you a couple months in advance.
We could either pay salary (your pay would be steady rate while hours may fluctuate by week or month although they will never go over your agreed upon total hours) or you can have a fixed hourly rate (paychecks would fluctuate based on number of hours).
Pay can be negotiated--salary, hourly, or hourly day/night differential. Looking at about 30K/year, $15/hr. Of note, the majority of your hours will be overnight sleeping hours, which should make for easier work.
We have a spare room made up for you for now until our guest apartment has completed its current construction.
We may be open to a live-in if you prefer if the arrangement is going well.
Would like to have someone full-time, long-term starting spring. Will do trials this winter to see if it is a good fit for all.

What Are Night Nanny Jobs?
Night nanny jobs are overnight positions caring for children while their parents sleep, often for a newborn. These jobs suit nannies who prefer working nights, have newborn care experience, or want a schedule that leaves the daytime free.
Types of Night Nanny Jobs and Responsibilities
Duties include overnight feeds, diaper changes, soothing, and sleep logs, and for older children, overnight supervision. Some jobs are a few nights a week, and others are full-time for the first months of a baby's life. Check the nights, the shift hours, and whether you are expected to stay awake or can sleep when the child does.
How to Interview for Night Nanny Jobs
Once you start connecting with prospective employers, the next step is a nanny job interview. Here are some questions you should ask:
- Which nights and hours do you need, and how long will the job last?
- Will I be awake all night, or can I sleep when the baby does?
- Where will I stay, and what is provided?
- How will feeding be handled, breast or bottle?
- How is overnight pay handled, and is there a written agreement?
Beyond asking these 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.
