Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
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.
You are welcome to work for families you have connections with entirely outside of Philadelphia Nanny Network. Any family, however, that you were introduced to through us, whether through a babysitting booking, an interview, or any other interaction arranged by us or a colleague, cannot become a private client without looping us in. This protects everyone involved and ensures all arrangements are properly documented per contractual agreements. When in doubt, just ask us first.
Absolutely. We offer babysitting opportunities through Philadelphia Nanny Network so you can earn income while we work together to find the right long term fit for you. It is a great way to build experience, get to know different families, and stay active while your search is underway.
