A little bit about us
We have a 50lb retriever mix who is very friendly and older but still likes to hang out with the kids. We have a large fenced backyard with swingset and a lot of outdoor toys as well as an open playroom in our basement.
We don't need you to take the boys anywhere (at least right now) but if we decide to stick with a Nanny instead of going back to daycare, it will likely require some transportation to and from preschool at some point. We are thinking this will be temporary - maybe 6-9 months until the pandemic is under control and normal(ish) life resumes. At that point we will have to decide if we want to continue with a full time nanny and supplement with preschool for the older two or if we will go back to daycare.

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.
