Full-Time Nanny Referral Services

The length of time it takes for our team to match your family with the perfect candidates depends greatly on the skills required for your unique family’s childcare needs. Most families can expect to meet three outstanding candidates within 1-2 weeks of signing up. We suggest getting the ball rolling as soon as possible. Certain times of year are a lot busier than others in our industry. During these times, we have to limit the number of clients we can take at a time, in order to guarantee the best matches and attention from our team. Likewise, we have a saying that goes “good nannies go fast” meaning, there often is a small window of time that experienced, professional, or highly skilled nannies are in the job market before they begin to receive offers. Families that have a longer lead time and flexibility on start date have the best chance at meeting these candidates before they are swooped off the market for the next four to eight years.

Many of our candidates find us. As an established agency founded by a professional nanny and operating for over ten years, it’s safe to say we have had our heads in the game for quite some time. We also empower current nannies in our network to become recruiters by getting paid when they identify and send us talent. Additionally, we use typical channels such as Indeed, Linked-in, word of mouth, and Facebook.

In most metropolitan areas, a professional nanny will charge about $25-40 per hour. Yes, there are nannies that will work for less than this amount. However, lower hourly rates increase the risk of a nanny leaving for a higher-paying position. Employed nannies are extremely valuable — the savings might not be worth the turnaround.

A Full-Time Nanny is a dedicated caregiver who provides childcare services on a full-time basis, working a set number of guaranteed hours per week. Full-time nannies are compensated as hourly, non-exempt employees for their committed time, regardless of whether all the hours are utilized by the family. This arrangement is ideal for families seeking consistent, full-time care for their children. It should be noted that while Full-Time includes 35-40 hours per week, most experienced nannies consider 40-60 hours per week as ideal and attainable ( your work week + the time it takes you to get home from work and late-night dinners and meetings). Therefore, when you conceptualize what your pool of candidates might look like, you should think of it as part-time (+) , Full-Time, and Full-Time (+).

For families with extensive childcare needs, we offer Rotational Nanny Placement Services, often referred to as "Rota Nanny" services. Rota nannies work as part of a caregiving team and follow a schedule that typically involves one week on duty and one week off. This rotation provides continuity of care and lowers the expense of overtime hours, while allowing families the flexibility to meet their childcare demands seamlessly.
