Your First Step: The One Love Nanny Phone Interview

Your journey with One Love Nanny begins with a phone interview. This is our first opportunity to get to know you, your childcare philosophy, and your level of experience. We use this conversation to determine whether your expertise aligns with the needs of our families.

During this call, we’ll also confirm that you have some important foundational items in place:

  • CPR and First Aid Certification (must be current)

  • Reliable transportation to and from work

  • A clear idea of the type of position you're seeking

We welcome both long-term and occasional care applicants. If you're not seeking a long-term commitment, that's okay! We have a dedicated pool of vetted and experienced caregivers available for temporary or on-call opportunities.

  • Copy of Certifications: Including CPR/First Aid, early childhood education courses, or any other relevant training.

  • Headshot: A friendly, professional photo helps families get a great first impression.
