Thank you for your interest in our nanny services. We will match you with the best Nanny for your family needs.
A nanny is a professional caregiver who provides personalized care for children in their own home. The responsibilities of a nanny can vary depending on the family’s needs and the age of the children under their care. However, there are some common tasks that most nannies are expected to perform. These include:
- Creating a safe and stimulating environment for the children
- Bathing, dressing, and grooming the children
- Changing diapers and potty training, if age-appropriate
- Planning meals, preparing food, and/or feeding the children
- Arranging playdates and outings
- Indoor and outdoor play
- Educational activities and crafts
- Carpooling or driving the children to school, activities, or playdates
- Reading to the children
- Help with homework
- Organizing bedrooms/toys
- Administering medicine with parents’ consent, if necessary
- Light housekeeping
Each family requires different assistance from their nanny. For example, a family may opt to hire a nanny when both parents work and prefer to keep their children at home instead of sending them to daycare while another family may hire one to be a second pair of hands for their children even when a parent is a home.
A nanny, very often, becomes an extended member of the family; that’s why it’s important to make sure you hire a nanny who is experienced, has good references, clean background and who you feel confident leaving your children with.
It’s important to note that a nanny’s job is much more than just completing daily tasks. A good nanny should be reliable, trustworthy, and able to tailor activities to each child’s interests, developmental abilities, and personality as well as communicate effectively with both the children and the parents 1.
When looking for a nanny, it’s important to find someone who shares your parenting values and ideals regarding how kids should be raised. This includes things like how permissive or discipline-focused you are, the environment you want to create for your kids, your priorities for your kids’ childhoods, and so on. It’s important that kids have consistency at home and know what is expected of them, and when you and your nanny are on the same page about these fundamental principles, it will give your kids that consistency and stability they need.
Nanny Housekeeper
Some families request only one nanny/housekeeper for their household instead of hiring multiple employees. In these situations, the nanny has to maintain the house as well as take care of the children. When the children are very young, and there is no extra time to fully maintain the household, the family will hire additional domestic help to perform deep cleaning of the home. But if the children attend school, the nanny can have full charge of the household while they are gone. It is expected that this nanny housekeeper will receive higher pay to hold both positions.
We offer the following:
- Full-Time Nannies (40-55 hours per week)
- Part Time Nannies (16-30 hours per week)
- Temporary Nannies
