What to expect

When a family chooses you to be their Nanny, they are selecting someone who will:

• Care for the child’s physical, developmental, emotional, and behavioral needs;
• Nurture, motivate and challenge their children;
• Be an example to their children;
• Instill the values established by the family;
• Foster learning through educational and hands-on experience;
• Care for the children when they are sick, and
• Act accordingly in case of emergency

Every day, you’ll feed, dress, and create a healthy, safe environment for the children. You’ll drive the children to activities, plan and organize special activities and play dates, teach children through academic and hands-on experience, and provide other structured, age-appropriate activities. Sometimes you’ll take the children to doctor’s appointments, pick up groceries, shop for children’s supplies, or go to the dry cleaner.

Each day you’ll maintain a log to document information for the parents such as: feedings/meals, nap time, diaper changes, milestone achievements, activities, and overall comments on the day. Every family is unique, and each family is encouraged to develop their expectations with you to create a strong, consistent working relationship. You can so do this.

Different types of placements

Different titles —ongoing, temporary, occasional, hotel child care— there are different types of Nannies and child-care providers. Our specialty is placing long-term, full- and part-time nannies, yet we also offer other short-term and specialized nannies for our clients.

Ongoing

Both family and Nanny are seeking a long-term relationship. We’ll ask you to make a minimum one-year commitment to your family.

• Your work: Full-time
  A full-time Nanny works 40 or more hours per week. Full-time Nannys are typically compensated with a weekly salary, and receive benefits such as paid holidays, paid time off, reimbursement for mileage when using your own vehicle for job related activities, and possibly a contribution towards your health insurance, depending on your situation.
• Your work: Part-time
  Part-time Nannies work less than 40 hours per week. You may be compensated on either a weekly salary (typically for heavier part time hours) or an hourly basis. Part-time Nannies often receive some holiday pay, some paid time off, and reimbursement for mileage when driving the children or running errands for the family.

Temporary

Temporary Nannies are needed for a specified time only. Some examples:

• Newborn Specialists help after the birth of a child. Both daytime and night time hours are available.
• Summer Nannies care for school age children over their summer break.
• Fill-in Nannies assist a family while their current provider is on vacation, medical leave, etc.

Occasional

Sometimes our registered families need a provider to care for the children if they go out during the evening or while they travel out of town.

Hotel Child Care

We provide in-room hotel child care with the highest caliber hotels for families visiting the Greater Cincinnati area.
