Q: What is the salary range of a nanny?
A: Salaries range from $500 - $1000 per week, depending on experience, the number of hours worked, number and ages of children, responsibilities, and region of employment.
Q: How many hours does a nanny work per week?
A: A typical work week is 50 hours. Hours are negotiable but must be agreed upon and put into a Nanny/Family contract.
Q: Where are your nanny candidates from?
A: Our nanny candidates come primarily from Nebraska and Iowa, although applicants from all US states will be eligible for our services.
Q: How long does it take to find a nanny that’s right for our family?
A: You should allow 6-8 weeks, although it can take more or less time depending on the job. We pride ourselves in connecting you with the best possible candidate to fit your needs and lifestyle.
Q: Who pays for travel and travel-related expenses for interviews with the candidate?
A: The family covers these expenses. Families also pay travel expenses for a hired nanny's relocation costs.
Q: How do I know if the nanny I hire is the right candidate for the job?
A: We strongly recommend each family spend a weekend with their selected candidate (at the family’s expense). This "weekend interview" gives the family and nanny the opportunity to explore compatibility in person. It is an ideal time for parents to observe the interaction between the candidate choice and their children.
