Location: Fairfax Station, VA 22039
Compensation: $20–$22/hour, based on experience

A warm and welcoming family in Fairfax Station is seeking an experienced, nurturing nanny to provide attentive care for their 5-month-old daughter through the remainder of the summer. This is an excellent opportunity for a caregiver who genuinely enjoys working with infants and creating a loving, engaging environment while supporting important developmental milestones.

The family also has a 3-year-old child who typically attends daycare. While the primary responsibility is caring for the infant, the nanny should be comfortable providing care for the toddler on occasions when she is home due to illness or school closures.

Schedule

  • Monday-Friday 8am-4pm

About the Family

Both parents work from home and are looking for a nanny who is comfortable working in a collaborative household while taking the lead on the baby's daily care. They value open communication, reliability, and someone who will become a trusted extension of their family during this temporary position.

Their daughter is a happy infant who is beginning to reach exciting developmental milestones. She currently wears a hip brace approximately 23 hours per day, which does not interfere with her normal daily activities, including tummy time, developmental play, or stroller walks.

Responsibilities

  • Provide attentive, loving care for the family's 5-month-old daughter

  • Following the family's feeding routine (baby is currently nursed and also occasionally takes a bottle)

  • Diapering and maintaining infant hygiene

  • Following age-appropriate sleep cues and wake windows

  • Planning engaging, developmentally appropriate activities, sensory play, and tummy time

  • Taking the baby on stroller walks when weather permits

  • Washing bottles as needed

  • Maintaining a clean and organized nursery and tidying all baby-related areas

  • Supporting a calm, nurturing, and engaging daily routine

Ideal Candidate

  • Previous infant experience

  • CPR certified

  • Up to date on vaccinations

  • Reliable, dependable, and punctual

  • Comfortable working in a home where parents work remotely

  • Warm, engaging, and proactive with infant development

  • Comfortable around a large, friendly dog

  • Must have a reliable vehicle for commuting to and from work (no driving of the child required)

This family is looking for someone who is patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoys helping infants grow through meaningful interaction, play, and responsive care. They hope to find a nanny who will provide a safe, loving environment while supporting their daughter's daily routines and developmental progress throughout the summer.
