Full-Time Nanny Needed for 5-Month-Old Infant in Columbus, IN

We are looking for a warm, reliable, and engaging nanny for our 5-month-old daughter in Columbus, Indiana. We recently moved to the area & are hoping to find someone who genuinely enjoys infants and can provide attentive, interactive care in our home.

Schedule:
- Full-time with some flexibility
- Core hours are approximately 10:00am–3:45pm
- Schedule may occasionally flex as early as 9:00am or as late as 5:00pm
- Start date: ASAP
- Position could be either long-term or through the end of July depending on fit and availability

About Our Daughter:
She is an easygoing, active baby who loves floor play, being carried around, stroller walks, and lots of interaction throughout the day. We are currently focused on developmental milestones like sitting, crawling, and introducing solids. She currently naps best in the stroller, so outdoor walks are an important part of the daily routine, though indoor nap alternatives are completely fine during poor weather.

Responsibilities:
- Attentive infant care
- Bottle feeding and assisting with solids (mix of baby-led weaning and purees)
- Engaging in age-appropriate developmental play
- Reading, singing, talking, and interactive play throughout the day
- Taking stroller walks and outdoor time as weather permits
- Light baby-related tasks only (washing bottles, tidying play areas, no baby laundry)

What We’re Looking For:
- Prior infant experience is required
- CPR certified
- Strong references
- Calm, patient, engaging, & communicative
- Naturally interactive & enjoys talking/singing with babies
- Reliable and safety-focused
- Comfortable working in a home where a parent works
- Non-smoker/vaper
- No screen time for baby

Additional Details:
- Care takes place entirely in home
- No driving required
- Friendly cats
- We follow a flexible, baby-led routine rather than a strict schedule
- Position will be paid on payroll

Compensation:
$15–18/hour depending on experience.
