A nanny that suits your family dynamics, your parenting style, and your child’s personality and needs can be worth their weight in gold. Enlisting the support of a reputable local nanny care agency grants you access to a set of fully certified and vetted childcare professionals you can trust.
Why use a Nanny Care Agency?
Informal childcare from grandparents, close friends or relatives can be incredibly helpful. But if you don’t have this option, or often find yourself needing a babysitter at short notice, having professional and vetted nanny care on hand can offer valuable peace of mind. Signing up to a flexible nanny care agency means that when you need support, safe and professional childcare will be available.
Leaving your child with someone new can be nerve-racking. But great nanny care agencies provide their nannies with ongoing professional support that allows them to deliver the best childcare possible. Here’s how we collaborate with nannies and families to ensure the health, safety, and happiness of the children in our care.
Developing Tailored Care Plans
Personalized care plans are based on a thorough assessment of a family’s lifestyle, preferences, needs, and natural approach to childcare. In-depth interviews allow each family to be successfully matched with the most well-suited nannies or babysitters.
Each of our nannies is classified as either a nurturer, an engager or a leader based on their childcare style. Identifying which of these styles best complements a family’s own parenting allows us to match children with the most well-suited nannies. Ultimately, this process can help provide the consistency and routine children need to thrive and achieve their full potential.
Safeguarding and Security
Oliver’s Nannies’ care plans also include a security component for safeguarding, providing vital guidance for nannies and peace of mind for parents. This section covers things like sleep safety, medications, allergies, and allowed visitors.
Fully Vetted Childcare Experts
All our nannies are trusted professionals from the local area. They’re employed by us, fully insured, and must undergo a rigorous vetting process before being allowed to join our agency.
For example, every candidate must:
- Complete a multi-step interview process.
- Undergo reference and background checks.
- Pass a thorough physical and have up to date vaccinations.
- Agree to ongoing check-ins and training.
When hiring nannies, we also value qualities like organization, punctuality, appropriate communication, and a willingness to adhere to dress codes tailored to suit individual families.
Check-ins and Visits From Care Coordinators
Care coordinators are heavily involved in the provision of our nanny care services. Given their role in assigning the right nannies and making sure families are happy, they can be an excellent point of contact for parents. Regular check-ins and visits from care coordinators and office staff allow families to raise any questions directly with those overseeing their child’s care.
Over time a family’s needs, goals and approaches to parenting might evolve. For instance, a child might develop new interests or preferred learning and engagement styles as they grow. Oliver’s Nannies’ dynamic care plans can be tweaked as needed, and our care coordinators facilitate this. Ultimately, they keep our nannies and families connected to management, promoting safe, tailored, well-matched and adaptable childcare.
Ongoing Education for Nannies
Seasonal Training Updates
Ongoing training is a vital part of providing safe and reliable nanny care. Our nannies are all employed by us, and receive regular training on important topics like health, safety, and engagement to keep their knowledge and practice up to standard.
For example, our nannies receive frequent refreshers in vital areas like:
- Car seat safety
- Playground safety
- Engagement strategies
- Approaches to behavior for success
