A little bit about me
My name is Charlotte. My husband and I will be relocating to CT temporarily (late September to late February)
I graduated from the University of New Hampshire in 2018 and worked as a recreation therapist at Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego from [phone number hidden]. If that occupation isn't familiar to you: I essentially provide play/development opportunities to children at a professional level :)
I have most recently been a nanny for a family in Nashville (a 2yr old girl) and Charleston (2 boys 3 & 7). I have a plethora of experiences working with children of all ages and physical/cognitive ability levels. My sweet spot is infant-3 years old but am open to all ages. I've worked with children from the time I was 15 until present (ski instructing, nannying, peds therapist). I have many references I would be happy to provide you with! Helping kids grow and develop is my passion and I hope to have some of my own one day, but until then, I would be happy to help care for yours!

How to Hire a Short-Term Nanny in Branford, CT
Nanny Lane helps you find a short-term nanny in Branford, CT for a temporary need, from a few weeks to a few months.
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 Short-Term Nanny?
A short-term nanny works for a set period rather than as an ongoing hire. Families look for short-term help when a parent is on leave, when they are between nannies, for a new baby, or while they are relocating or traveling. The end date is agreed at the start.
Common Responsibilities of Short-Term Nannies in Branford, CT
A short-term nanny takes on the same duties as any nanny, including caring for children, preparing meals, and keeping to routines, and often starts quickly. Because the role is temporary, they need a clear handover covering schedules, allergies, and house rules on day one.
What to Consider Before You Hire
Be upfront about the start date, the end date, and the chance of an extension. Fixed-term roles still benefit from clear pay terms, and a written agreement helps both sides. Short-term nannies who can start quickly are in demand, so message early.
Short-Term 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:
- Are you available for our dates, and could you extend if we need it?
- How quickly could you start?
- Have you worked short-term or fill-in roles before?
- How would you get to know our routines quickly?
- Are you trained in First Aid or CPR?
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.
