Frequently Asked Questions

When a nanny cancels, we move quickly to find you a replacement.

Here is what to expect:
If we hear from the nanny first, we will contact you right away. If the nanny reaches out to you directly, please let us know immediately so we can get to work on finding the replacement.

When a cancellation is last minute, we may ask whether you have a little flexibility on start time. Being open to a slight adjustment gives us the best chance of getting someone to you as quickly as possible.

If we are unable to find a replacement, you are not charged for the day.

As for why cancellations happen, nannies occasionally get sick themselves or face a family emergency, and we handle those situations with care and empathy.

For long-term and short-term positions, yes! You will go through the interview process and meet all candidates you consider a good fit. For temporary positions, we will assign one of our nanny employees to your request, but we appreciate your feedback to ensure we’ve made a great match.

We identify candidates for your job. We review your specific needs and preferences to match you with candidates from our pool of vetted nannies. We consider factors like experience, skills, and personality to ensure a good fit for your family.

We market your open position and present the job details to selected candidates, and those who express interest will be shared with you for consideration.

We present a nanny’s profile to you. For each interested candidate, you’ll receive a detailed profile that includes their experience, references, qualifications, and more.

We talk about and arrange a trial day. If you find a nanny you’re interested in, we can coordinate trial days. This allows both you and the nanny to feel comfortable with the arrangement before making an official offer.

The last step is extending an offer and getting an acceptance. Once you’re ready to extend an offer, we assist in finalizing the details, including pay, hours, duties, benefits, and any other specifics. We’ll ensure everything is clear and agreed upon before moving forward.

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.

No, you only need to complete our application once. We can then discuss all the positions you are interested in.

We love when that happens, and yes, you can, as long as you both agree to the new employment agreement. Let us know the details on how you envision this works for you and we will take it from there to make sure all the details of what you want and your nanny family wants are in sync. We’ll manage the transition, for you and your nanny family, from being our employee to being the family’s employee. We will discuss with you everything from job structure, job schedule to job offer and compensation details.
