A little bit about us
I travel for work, so we need someone:
Afternoons/evenings. We need someone to help with picking up our kids, taking them to hobbies, and cleaning/cooking. In this scenario, when I am in town and not traveling for work, then I can take care of the kids and whoever is working for us could choose to not come to work (and therefore not get paid for that day), or they could come over and help around the home with other activities such as cooking and cleaning.
Mondays would start at 6pm, involve picking the kids up from taekwondo, driving them to fast food (paid for by us) or bring them home and making dinner at home and getting them ready for bed. We need someone for every Monday regardless of my travel schedule.
Tuesdays would start at 4:30pm, involve picking the kids up, taking them to soccer, and then bringing them home, and helping with dinner and then the bedtime routine
Wednesdays would start at 6pm, involve dinner and nighttime routine
Thursdays would start at 3:45 and involve driving one kid to dance, and then picking up the other child after his taekwondo class and then bringing kids home, dinner and nighttime routine.
Fridays would only be on an ad-hoc basis as I tend not to travel Fridays.
If you are interested, please reach out to me ASAP.

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.
