Frequently Asked Questions
Providing health benefits is not required for most household employers. It is, however, considered a valuable perk and can make a position more attractive to experienced candidates.
- If our position requires driving, is it recommended that she drive a family vehicle or her personal vehicle? What are the insurance obligations for both options?
- This is ultimately up to the family’s preference. Some families choose to provide a household vehicle for the nanny to use while transporting children, while others ask the nanny to use their personal vehicle for job-related driving and provide a mileage reimbursement. We recommend families contact their insurance provider to understand any coverage considerations when a nanny will be driving as part of her job. Your provider can advise on the best way to ensure everyone is properly covered based on your specific situation.
- If I hire a nanny, are we required to pay them for all of our vacation time?
- Nannies receive paid time off as part of their compensation package. If a family chooses to take additional vacation time beyond the nanny’s allotted PTO, it is considered best practice to continue paying the nanny, as they rely on consistent income and have committed their schedule to your family.
- If I hire a short-term candidate (for less than a year), is it possible to transition to long-term?
- Absolutely. We understand that sometimes the best long-term arrangements start as short-term placements. If you hire a nanny you’d like to continue working with, our team can assist with transitioning the role into a long-term arrangement.
Absolutely. Tell us what matters for your household and the job such as experience with newborns or training in special needs care. We’ll find candidates whose skills match what you’re looking for. The only limit is that requests need to be job-related rather than characteristics unrelated to the job itself (age, religion, things like that, keeps us all compliant with employment law) We will talk about what your family needs and then we’ll take it from there.
A nanny is involved in all aspects of a child’s life. From their emotional wellbeing and social development to their educational growth and recreational life, a nanny partners to help raise the child. That partnership deepens the longer the placement. Day to day, a nanny also maintains the child’s immediate environment, including their feedings/meals, room, play areas, bathroom, clothing, toys and belongings. They may even be in charge of their calendar and scheduling their medical appointments, hair cuts and classes.
A babysitter’s role is different by design. Because babysitters serve on a temporary basis, their focus is on supervising, engaging, and playing with the children in the moment rather than the longer arc of their development. They are responsible for feeding the children in their care and cleaning up after meals and lay.
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.
BUSINESSES – Backup Care
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.
The families you work with are counting on you, and reliability is at the heart of what we do. That said, we know life happens. People get sick and family emergencies occur. We handle those situations with understanding and we advise the families we work with to do the same. We adhere to all applicable laws and regulations around PTO and will always work through unexpected situations with you fairly.
IIt depends on your employment arrangement. If you are employed directly by a family, payment terms are determined during the offer process and spelled out clearly before your first day so there are no surprises. We make sure that happens for you. If you are employed by Philadelphia Nanny Network, payday is every Friday by direct deposit.
