Nanny Annika
A little bit about me
In just 3 words, I'd describe my personality as creative, curious, and kindhearted.
I started working with kids when I was a kid myself, just helping out in the nursery at my church. Since then, I've helped take care of kids on my own of all ages for over 4 years. I've taken care of all ages from newborns to pre-teens.
In my spare time, I like to get outdoors, draw, go fishing, camping, and I love to cook!
One thing you should know about me is I'm very understanding and loving towards the kids that babysit. I treat them all like my best friends and am always happy to do whatever activities they love most. I am safety-oriented as well as engaging.
Overall, I'm looking for a full time summer position (starting mid-May or early June, ending mid/late August). I currently attend Connecticut College for Neuroscience with a potential minor in studio art and/or philosophy. I plan to graduate in 2028.

How to Hire a Short-Term Nanny in Wayland, MA
Nanny Lane helps you find a short-term nanny in Wayland, MA 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 Wayland, MA
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.
