First-time parents in Mineola are seeking an experienced, patient, and nurturing part-time infant nanny to provide consistent morning and/or evening support. Their baby is currently 3 months old and will be approximately 5 months old when mom returns to work, but the family would ideally love to find the right person and begin building a relationship now.
Baby was born prematurely at 34 weeks and is doing well but requires a caregiver who is patient and attentive, particularly during bottle feeds. Strong infant experience is essential, and previous experience with premature infants is a major plus.
The family is flexible and offering multiple schedule options depending on the candidate’s availability.
Childcare Responsibilities:
✔️ Loving, attentive infant care
✔️ Bottle feeding and supporting established feeding routines
✔️ Childcare pickup/drop-off depending on schedule selected
✔️ Bath and bedtime routines
✔️ Age-appropriate infant interaction and developmental engagement
✔️ Providing calm, patient care throughout feeds and transitions
✨ Requirements:
✔️ Strong infant experience required
✔️ Premature infant experience strongly preferred
✔️ CPR certified or willing to become certified
✔️ Must drive and have a reliable vehicle
✔️ Patient, gentle, nurturing, and dependable
✔️ Excellent communication skills
✔️ Minimum 1-year commitment preferred
Additional Details:
✔️ Baby is currently 3 months old and will be approximately 5 months old when mom returns to work
✔️ Family would prefer to hire someone before mom returns to work so the nanny and baby have time to become comfortable with one another
✔️ Childcare is located approximately 10 minutes from the family's home
✔️ Family can provide the appropriate car seat for transportation
✔️ Family is flexible in structuring the position around the right candidate
✔️ Candidates seeking only consistent evening hours OR a larger split schedule are welcome to apply
The family's biggest priority is finding someone experienced with young infants, exceptionally reliable, patient with feeding, and genuinely nurturing who can build a long-term relationship with their baby and family.
