SERVICES
NANNY
Nannies play a hands-on role in supporting every aspect of a child’s development—emotionally, physically, and mentally. They help shape daily routines that are both safe and enriching, often preparing meals, managing cleanup, providing transportation to activities, assisting with schoolwork, and maintaining organized play and living spaces. Each family is thoughtfully paired with at least two nanny candidates to interview. Once the agreement is finalized, the placement officially begins.

HOUSEHOLD MANAGER
Household managers take on all the responsibilities of a nanny—plus additional support to keep the entire home running smoothly. Their duties often include light housekeeping, home organization, laundry, pet care, running errands, preparing family meals, grocery shopping, coordinating household staff, and providing transportation for appointments. Each contract includes a clearly defined job description that’s mutually agreed upon by the family and the household manager before the placement begins.

LIVE-IN NANNY
Live-in nannies receive room and board—as well as other agreed-upon provisions like meals—in addition to their standard pay as a nanny or household manager. They offer the same high level of care and support as traditional roles, with responsibilities and expectations clearly outlined in their contracts. Schedules, duties, and boundaries are all defined ahead of time and mutually agreed upon to ensure a smooth and respectful working relationship.

SHORT-TERM HELP/OVERNIGHT CAREGIVER
Short-term care is designed for families who need consistent help from the same caregiver over a defined period—whether it’s a few days, weeks, or a specific season. This is not one-off babysitting; it’s personalized support with ongoing, reliable coverage from a single provider.
Overnight care is also available for families needing support during evening and nighttime hours. One caregiver is assigned per shift to ensure focused, dependable care. For multi-night needs, we aim to keep the same caregiver whenever possible to maintain continuity and comfort.

$60 per shift agency fee
SUMMER NANNY
This is our most popular nanny option for the clients we serve! Summer nannies provide consistent care for your family while school is out. These caregivers typically commit to a 3-month contract, with flexibility to match your school district’s specific break schedule. It's a great option for families needing full-time or part-time support during the summer months.
