Question 2

Can you help us find a bilingual nanny?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Many of our professional nannies are fluent in second and third languages such as Spanish, French, Mandarin, and American Sign Language. We are one of the only agencies nationwide that offers specialized searches with language and specific education requirements!
Please keep in mind that specialized searches often result in extended timelines.

Question 3

Can you help us find a nanny who specializes in working with children with disabilities?

Accepted Answer

Yes! This is one of our most popular requests. We have many nannies who have formal training, certifications, and/or have years of experience with children who have a range of support needs.

Question 4

What other household duties do nannies typically perform?

Accepted Answer

In addition to childcare, a nanny’s household duties may include:
keeping the children’s areas organized/tidy
pitching in to the overall cleanliness of the household (light housekeeping)
loading and unloading the dishwasher
running errands
basic meal preparation
folding/putting away children’s laundry
Many families who are seeking more of a focus around assisting, errands, cooking, or laundry title their position “nanny/family assistant” to better define the larger scope.
We help you create a job description to attract the ideal candidates.
