A little bit about us
Mom goes back to work part time around late July (2.5 months) and then full time mid August (3 months). The position will require approximately 24 hours (3 days a week). The baby will spend time with grandma the remainder of the week. We are asking for the nanny to provide direct care for the baby, help with baby laundry, washing bottles, light tidying of baby and toddler's toys, and light general tidying of the house when baby naps.
Ideally, nanny can also provide care to 2 year old toddler when there are school closures (but not required). Compensation will be adjusted on these days.
This is a temporary position for 8 months until March.

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.
