Frequently Asked Questions
Working with Philadelphia Nanny Network offers several benefits, including job matching, access to screened opportunities, agency employed or family employed models and ongoing support throughout the hiring process. We help match nannies with families, ensuring a good fit for both parties while saving time and effort in the job search. We manage a babysitting schedule for nannies who want to work for a variety of families so they don’t have to. Nannies receive guidance through every step of the hiring process, offering confidence and support. Additionally, we provide access to a wide variety of jobs, from temporary, short-term, and long-term, giving nannies the chance to explore some of the best opportunities in their area. We do not charge nannies any fees for our services. This means nannies can take advantage of the agency’s resources without worrying about hidden costs.
First, we employ a team of nannies for corporate backup care, providing them with more work opportunities and access to benefits such as paid time off, healthcare support, group health insurance and a retirement plan. Individual nannies working for multiple families, managing them on their own, don’t receive these benefits. By working for one employer, the job becomes more professional, includes employee benefits, adherence to federal and state laws and nannies can dedicate themselves fully to their roles.
Second, this model simplifies things for our clients. Clients don’t need to worry about employment paperwork or tax liabilities, yet they can still benefit from the tax credit for child care without the associated tax exposure. Our goal is to make the process easier and better for everyone involved.
Yes, overtime is paid according to federal and state requirements, and clients will be charged for overtime at a rate of time and a half. If the nanny can accommodate a change in schedule for longer hours, she will request a signed time card, which she will submit to us for payroll.
Please note that the agency does not allow paying the nanny directly or “under the table” for any time outside of the arrangement with Philadelphia Nanny Network. Doing so would violate the contractual service agreement between you, the nanny, and Philadelphia Nanny Network. While it may seem convenient to ask the nanny to work extra hours and pay her cash, this practice is prohibited.
We look at past experience. We look at your previous roles as a nanny, the ages of the children you’ve cared for, and any specialized skills you might have, such as handling infants, working with children with special needs, or managing multiple children at once.
Commute time is important. Proximity to the family is important for both convenience and consistency. We consider how long it would take you to get to the family’s home and whether it’s a manageable and sustainable commute for you.
We consider the family’s personal requirements. Every family has unique needs. We consider details like their parenting style, household rules, and specific duties, like light housekeeping or meal preparation. Matching these requirements with your strengths and preferences helps ensure a harmonious fit.
We would love to be able to say yes, but we can’t. Philadelphia Nanny Network positions can’t allow employees to bring their own children to work. Because this is a job where your responsibility is to have full attention dedicated to the children in your care during scheduled hours, bringing your own family doesn’t fit in that job description. It is an underlying assumption that a tenant of professional care is that work and home life are separate to the extent possible.
