I work in clinical research at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. I need care for my niece and nephew who are visiting me for the month of July. I will only need someone to watch them for up to three days out of the work week. As I will need to go into the office to support my employees. They will not require any additional support aside from being watched at my home.

Hello! I’m Elyse and I’m looking for part-time care for my son starting late April. He will be 5 months old. Both my husband and I work from home and need help in the afternoons while I’m working. The schedule may also adjust as my work needs change. We’re going on an extended trip mid July so only need care until then.
Your responsibilities would include playing with him, feeding him if I am not available to nurse, putting him down for naps, light housework cleaning up after him, and possibly meal prepping for any solids he’s eating. We’re pretty easy going and would want you to be comfortable in our space as it will be tight with us all here. We also have a very friendly dog.
We need a nanny who has their own car, is CPR certified, is a non-smoker, and is vaccinated.

A little bit about us
My husband and I just found out that our nanny share family has decided to transition their kiddo to school a little earlier than our joint original timeline to take advantage of an available spot at the school. So we are looking for a family who might be interested in joining our nanny share. M-F, 8hrs a day.
We’ve had absolutely wonderful experience with our nanny Jackie. My daughter adores her. Both kids were 4 months when we started with her and are now 18m.
Our current plan is to start our daughter in school in April or March, when she is 2. So looking for someone interested in sharing Nov '26 - March '27. But open to extending this timeline to as far as August. So Nov '26 - Aug '27. We are in Highland Park but open to splitting time between both families houses.

What Are Short-Term Nanny Jobs?
Short-term nanny jobs are temporary positions with a set end date, such as covering a parental leave, a family move, a summer, or a gap between nannies. They suit nannies who like variety, are between jobs, or want to try a family before committing.
Types of Short-Term Nanny Jobs and Responsibilities
Short-term jobs can be full-time or part-time and last from a few weeks to several months. Responsibilities are the same as in an ongoing job, with an emphasis on getting up to speed quickly. Check the dates, the hours, and whether there is a chance of the role being extended.
How to Interview for Short-Term Nanny Jobs
Once you start connecting with prospective employers, the next step is a nanny job interview. Here are some questions you should ask:
- What are the start and end dates, and could the job be extended?
- Is the schedule full-time or part-time?
- What is the reason for the temporary role?
- How will I be paid, and is there a written agreement?
- What routines and house rules should I know on day one?
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.
