FOR NANNIES

Important Information for Nanny Applicants

Thank you for your interest in working with our agency! We want to ensure that all applicants understand our current scheduling requirements and pay structure before applying.

Availability Requirements

All nannies must be available to work anytime between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM. While this does not mean you will always be scheduled for these full hours, flexibility is essential.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, when many families worked remotely, there was a shift in demand toward shorter hours (such as 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM). However, as more professionals return to the office due to changes in federal policies, families now require caregivers with broader availability. To be placed through our agency, you must be able to work within this 7 AM – 6 PM timeframe.
