What do the temporary Nannies charge? Do I pay the Nanny directly?
Our temporary nannies typically charge $18-$20 per hour. You will pay the nanny directly upon the completion of the assignment, either by cash or check. The nanny’s wages are separate from our agency fees.


How do I deal with taxes?
Since the nanny will be employed directly by your family, you will need to be aware of your obligations as a household employer. We are happy to answer general questions, or you may seek the help of a domestic payroll service such as:
What are the agency fees?
  • $150 Registration Fee allows you access to our nanny services for a year.
  • 30% ($25 per day minimum) Referral fee is applied once a nanny has been confirmed for your requested dates.

What is your Cancellation Policy?
Once we have assigned a nanny to your job, the Referral Fee will be processed with no refunds. If an assignment is canceled with less than 48 hours notice, you will also be responsible for paying the nanny for 4 hours of the agreed hourly amount. If the nanny cancels, we will find a replacement, or apply a credit toward a future booking.

Is it possible to hire the same nanny for each assignment?
Though we cannot guarantee that the same person will be available for each assignment, we will do our best to honor special requests. We require that all scheduling is done through the agency; clients may not contact our nannies directly to request dates.

What if I decide to hire a temporary nanny on a permanent basis?
We are happy to apply the temporary fee to a long term fee if you wish to hire a temporary nanny on a permanent basis. Some restrictions apply. See Temporary Referral Agreement for details.

Can I interview the temporary nanny ahead of time?
There is not a formal interview process for temporary nannies. You will have the chance to speak with the nanny in advance when they confirm the details of the assignment.
