A permanent full-time nanny manages your children’s daily routine and becomes a partner for your family. Full-time nannies generally work 30-55 hours per week. Nannies must commit to a minimum of one year.
Our summer nannies are active, bright, and energetic college students and schoolteachers from across the country. They can provide daily care and assist with your children’s daily summer activities and accompany you on vacation. Summer nannies typically begin their positions in late May/early June and conclude in August. We encourage clients to begin the summer nanny search process as early as March.
A “family assistant” is a hybrid role combining assistant and childcare responsibilities. Many families with school-aged children will transition from a full-time nanny to a family assistant in order to make good use of school time hours when the wee ones are away.
For families that need assistance for a temporary amount of time.
A permanent part-time nanny has the same training and qualifications as a full-time nanny but works a shorter week. These positions are typically sought for after-school care but can also cover morning or daytime help. Finding a part-time nanny can be especially challenging as most professional nannies prefer to work full-time. Hours are less than 30 per week.
This arrangement involves hiring an individual who is willing to care for the children from two families.
