Frequent Asked Questions

1. What is the hourly rate for nannies?

   To have a well qualified nanny with professional childcare experience the rate ranges between $22 and $35 hourly. It depends on how many children will be cared for, how long the nanny has had professional childcare experience and the responsibilities included in the position; ie: household manager, deep cleaning etc.

2. How long does it take to find the right nanny for our family?

   Permanent placements require a time frame of approximately 4-6 weeks in most cases. This will give us time to forward your job description to the nannies we have available and arrange interviews for you. In times of higher demand, or when special requirements are requested by the family, permanent placement may require additional time.

3. Does a nanny expect benefits?

   Benefits such as paid time off, paid holidays, two paid sick days, gas reimbursement, and increased pay after working with your nanny for 6 months and more, will create more interest in your position from professional and well qualified nannies.
