A little bit about us

Mom is going to be in the hospital for a few weeks and I need some help taking care of the girls while I’m working from home. They’re homeschooled through River Oaks Academy so there’s some simple workbooks and whatnot but mostly just hanging out and playing with them. Depending on the weather going to playgrounds, the local pool, silly little museums, whatever seems fun.

The idea is that it will be more or less full time for a few weeks and then we’ll see where we are. Hopefully everything will be fine, maybe it will continue longer, maybe we’ll go down to a few days a week.

Blythe is eight, and if left unattended would probably just read until her eyes fell out. She love legos and puzzles and board games. She plays cello and is learning the piano. Wonderful and easygoing, she’s a gem.

Pip is five, and a force of nature. She’s very funny and very opinionated, and will talk about anything with anybody for as long as she can keep her breath up. She loves make believe play (especially pet hospital or ice cream shop) and also loves to draw and color. She’s a bit more of a handful, but is so much fun it’s worth the while.

I work a remote tech job that’s based on Chicago time, so I’m usually busiest from around 9am to 3pm.

General duties include keeping the children alive, not relying on screens for entertainment (although it’s not like we’re a screen free house, they watch movies and play video games), fixing simple snacks (pbj, hotdogs, etc) and doing some light schoolwork with them.

Ideally looking for someone to start asap, and work 9am-3pm M-F. If you’d like to work more hours on top of that, it’s totally possible.

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.
