Arrangements

Three Ways Families Book a Nanny

Tell us the hours and the ages, and we will tell you which of these fits. Families often start with one and move to another as their schedule changes.

01 Full-time One caregiver, a set weekly schedule, usually through the school year. Advertised and hired for your family specifically.
02 Part-time Mornings, afternoons, or two or three full days, held by the same caregiver each week.
03 As needed Hours that move week to week. School holidays, a stretch of travel, a busy season at work.

The difference

Who Actually Employs Your Nanny

Most agencies in these towns introduce a caregiver and step back, which makes your household the employer. Ours works the other way.

A placement agency

You become the employer

  • You run payroll and file the employment taxes
  • You arrange insurance for someone working in your home
  • The agency steps back once the introduction is made
  • Training after placement is up to you

The nanny stays our employee

  • Payroll and employment taxes stay with us
  • Insurance sits on our side
  • We stay your point of contact for as long as you need care
  • Training continues after your nanny starts

How a full-time role is filled

Hired for Your Family

A caregiver who already has a placement cannot take a new full-time job, so we do not try to move one.

01
We write the role with you

The hours, the ages, the driving, the things a caregiver needs to know about your household.

02
We advertise and hire for it

Candidates go through our full screening: interview, background checks, references, and training, before you meet anyone.

03
Your choice joins our payroll

The nanny you pick becomes our employee for your placement. Payroll, taxes, and insurance never land on your household.

Questions

Nanny Questions Families Ask

The four that come up on almost every first call.

No. Every caregiver is our employee, so payroll, taxes, insurance, and background checks all stay on our side. For a full-time nanny we recruit and hire specifically for your role rather than moving someone off another family, and that nanny joins our payroll for your placement.

Background checks, interviews, reference checks, and training all finish before a caregiver appears on your shortlist. Interviews happen in person or by video depending on where you and the caregiver are. Because they are our employees, we keep training them after placement too.

Rates depend on the hours, the number of children, and whether the role is full-time, part-time, or occasional. Tell us what you need and we will give you the figure for that arrangement. There is no charge for asking.

Caregivers are screened and trained long before you meet them, so matching moves quickly. A full-time nanny role is recruited for specifically, which takes longer than booking a sitter. Tell us your timing and we will tell you what is possible.
