A little bit about us

Seeking a nanny to help two working-from-home parents with our 14 month old son. We are not sure how long this stay at home order will last, and we need some help with our son in the afternoons while daycare is closed. This job is for 5 days a week, Monday through Friday, from 1 PM until 5 PM. This could end up being a 3 month or longer job depending on when the city reopens.

We have a well-behaved corgi-mix dog, so you would need to like dogs. The job includes putting our son down for his afternoon nap, feeding him dinner, reading books, taking walks, and playing with him. We are looking for 5 days a week for the time being, and then would like to be able to use you as a babysitter in the future once our kid is back in daycare.

We need you to either be able to walk or drive to our place (21st St NW and N) and to be limiting your interactions with others as we don't want to risk exposure for you or for ourselves. We hope you are staying well and healthy during the difficult time.

A little bit about us

We live in NE DC. Been in Brookland 10+ years. Our LO will be 11 months in a few weeks. Mom and dad have been working from home since the start of the pandemic with baby in the house. He has never been in daycare and we are taking all the necessary precautions to do our part in keeping our family and community COVID free. Looking for a part-time caregiver (3 to 4 days a week from 9am-5:15pm) for the next three months and can revisit. We have a 4-legged family member in the home as well, so preferably someone who is comfortable with dogs- although no care expected for our pup.

A little bit about us

Hello! We are looking for a nanny for my son Calvin for when I go back to work in March 2023. He is a very sweet, easy-going baby. We are looking for someone Monday-Friday from 7:30am to 6pm (hours are negotiable/subject to change once I know my work schedule a better). We are looking for someone for about 6 months, but would possibly extend if we find the right person. We also have a dog, Domino. No care for the dog needed other than letting him into the fenced-in yard occasionally for a bathroom break.

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.
