A picky eight-year-old and a worried parent on the other end of a video call — that's a fairly typical Tuesday for this role. Naukri Mitra is bringing on an Online Pediatric Nutritionist to work with families remotely, translating nutrition science into advice parents can actually use at dinnertime.
What the Work Looks Like
You'll run virtual consultations with children and their families, building dietary plans around whatever's actually going on — picky eating, growth concerns, allergies, or just a family trying to build better habits. Some sessions are straightforward check-ins. Others involve a parent who's tried five different approaches already and needs someone to sort through what's worth keeping and what to drop.
- Conduct virtual consultations with children and families to assess nutritional needs
- Build personalized dietary plans addressing specific health or growth concerns
- Provide ongoing nutritional counseling and track progress over time
- Create educational resources parents can use between sessions
- Coordinate with pediatricians or other healthcare providers when a case calls for it
- Stay current on pediatric nutrition research and adjust recommendations accordingly
Plenty of listings for
remote pediatric nutritionist jobs read like a vague wellness pitch. This one's grounded in actual clinical work — real families, real health concerns, delivered through a screen instead of an office visit.
What You Need
You'll need a degree in nutrition, dietetics, or a closely related field, plus whatever license your state or region requires to practice — RD, RDN, or the local equivalent. Working with kids specifically counts for more here than a broad nutrition resume. Pediatric cases come with their own tangle of issues — reading a growth curve correctly, distinguishing normal picky-eater behavior from something that needs real intervention, and figuring out whether a plan will actually survive contact with a busy household. Video consultations need to feel natural to you, too, and so does explaining things plainly to a parent who has already shown up to the call stressed.
Helpful, Not Required
- Experience with specific pediatric conditions — food allergies, failure to thrive, feeding disorders
- Bilingual ability, particularly Spanish
- Familiarity with telehealth platforms and virtual care documentation
- Background working alongside pediatricians or other specialists on shared cases

The Team You'd Work With
Naukri Mitra pairs nutritionists with a broader healthcare support network rather than leaving you to handle complicated cases alone. If a case moves past what dietary advice alone can fix, getting a pediatrician or specialist looped in doesn't take long. Notes and session history stay easy to find between appointments, and if you need an answer from someone, you're usually talking to them directly rather than working through a chain of people.
Growth Ahead
Nutritionists who build strong caseloads here often move toward specialized practice areas — feeding disorders or clinical conditions requiring more intensive management — or into roles training and mentoring newer practitioners joining the team.
