Finding a babysitter or nanny service you can trust with your child’s health, safety, and happiness requires time, effort, and commitment. And if your child has special needs, pinpointing the right expert can take even more careful consideration. 

Consulting with an experienced nanny agency will take the pressure off and grant you valuable peace of mind. Your child will be matched with the right support from a selection of highly trained, experienced, and thoroughly vetted childcare professionals. 

How do Nanny Agencies Support Children With Special Needs?

Opening the Doors to Highly Qualified, Vetted Nanny Services

Children with special needs deserve diligent, reliable, and personalized care. Working with an agency will give you access to a pool of uniformly background checked nannies and babysitters. For example, every nanny employed by Oliver’s Nannies undergoes a thorough vetting that consists of a multi-step interview process, reference checks, physicals, and regular reviews. With this extra layer of security, you’ll be able to find a trustworthy and experienced local nanny who can meet your child’s specific needs. 

Meticulous, Individualized Care Planning

Tailored care is vital for any child, and children with special needs may require even more personalized support to help them thrive physically, emotionally, and academically. For many children with special needs, and particularly those with conditions like autism spectrum disorder, consistency is vital. A nanny care agency can help you find a babysitter capable of maintaining the routines and daily habits that allow your child to feel settled and happy. 

At Oliver’s Nannies, every family is invited for a thorough initial consultation. During this meeting, we’ll discuss every facet of your child’s individual needs. We’ll take time to learn about your parenting style and daily routines in great depth, so your nanny can mirror these and provide personalized care that helps your child flourish. At this stage, we’ll also discuss important safeguarding measures like sleep safety, medications and allergies, and allowed visitors to develop a thorough and holistic care plan.

Ongoing Support and Check-ins

A nanny agency serves as a central point of contact parents can go to with any questions or concerns regarding their child’s nanny service. Whether you need to alter something in your child’s care plan based on developing or changing needs, add on extra childcare days, or ask your nanny to manage a new task (e.g., driving your child to an extra-curricular activity or appointment), your agency will be able to help. The best nanny agencies will also arrange regular check-ins to ensure your child’s care is running smoothly.
