A little bit about us

We are the Joslyn’s!

Our younger son is almost 6 months old and our older son, almost 3 years old, is in daycare full time. Dad works full time and mom is a PhD Candidate looking for part time help during some weekdays so she can get some research and writing done.

Responsibilities include playing, feeding (mom nurses, but bottles may be involved if/when mom is away), putting down for naps, and light housekeeping/meal prep related to care for our younger son. He is learning to sit and will be starting solid foods soon, so familiarity with BLW and this stage of infancy is a plus. Occasional date night availability is a bonus but not a requirement!

Mom will be home most of the time working in a home office, but will be away occasionally for errands and appointments. As noted, our preference is to find help three days a week for 5 hrs/day. Even if these hours are not ideal, please do reach out; we can be a bit flexible on timing.

This is a shorter term gig that extends through mid February 2027. If you like babies, houseplants, and cats, and if you are looking for a 6-month position, please send along your availability! We look forward to meeting you.

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.
