We’re your personal nanny matchmaker and are experts at finding the one.

Full-Time Nannies

At Westside Nannies we believe that every family deserves an amazing nanny. Our candidate pool includes nannies with over 20 years of experience, recent college-graduates who are ready to assist with homework, and even former teachers who love to plan fun and educational activities. The background, experience, and personality of each nanny is unique but they all embody the qualities that to us, are most important – loyalty, honesty, dependability, and a true love of working with children.

Duties

Full-time nannies provide much more than general supervision. They work alongside parents, as a team, to ensure that the children in their care are happy, healthy, and thriving. The responsibilities of a full-time nanny vary depending on the household, but often include full care of the children (bathing, dressing, feeding), organizing fun, educational and age-appropriate activities and outings, engaging in creative play, and driving the children to and from school.

Schedules

Full-time nannies generally work between 40-60 hours per week. Schedules vary greatly depending on the family, their individual needs, and the level of travel and flexibility required. Some nannies work a traditional schedule of Monday through Friday from 9:00am to 5:00pm while others join a team of caregivers working rotating shifts to provide 24-7 support. Our team of placement counselors will work with you to determine the schedule that would best suit your needs.

Rates

Our placement counselors will work closely with you to develop a competitive compensation package based upon your family’s needs. Rates for full-time nannies vary greatly depending on the nanny’s experience, the position duties, preferred schedule, and the level of travel and flexibility required in the role. Current rates for professional nannies are between $25-$40 per hour. In addition to their wages most full-time nannies receive the following benefits: 2 weeks paid vacation, paid holidays/sick days, and a health insurance stipend. 

What Makes Our Nannies So Special?

Experienced

Westside Nannies represents professional nannies who are experienced, trained, reliable, and proactive. We require our candidates to have at least 3 years of of professional childcare experience along with impeccable references.

References

Due-dilligence is at the heart of our placement process and safety is our #1 priority. Our trained recruiters are experts at digging into a candidate's background and thoroughly analyzing their work history and references. We look for top-notch candidates who leave an overwhelmingly positive and lasting impression.

Education

In our industry, experience and education can be represented in many different forms; from formal degrees to 30+ years of experience. We represent nannies who simply have a passion for working with children, and many have proven their desire to work in childcare through their academics.

Passion

For our nannies, childcare isn’t just a “job” - it’s a labor of love. Most of our candidates began their careers as neighborhood babysitters and camp counselors in high-school, pre-school teachers or part-time nannies in college, and are now professional nannies. Our nannies love their jobs, and we think that’s pretty cool.

Modern

Whether it’s texting you a picture of your little one at the park or setting up a Skype session to say goodnight to your child when you are out of town, Westside Nannies candidates are forward-thinking, aware, and tech savvy.

Character

We believe that a nanny’s moral and ethical character is just as important as what’s on her resume. Nannies are more than just caregivers - they are mentors and role models, and a direct reflection of your family’s values. We place an emphasis on recruiting candidates who display character traits such as loyalty, dependability, honesty, and respect.

Richard L.

“When  my maternity leave ended and I was about to leave my first baby at home with a nanny, I was honestly petrified. You made this such a safe, easy process and for that, I am forever grateful.”

Lauren R.

“Thank you for placing Stephanie with us! She has been absolutely amazing and I don’t know how we ever managed without her. The girls love her and not a day goes by without Stephanie planning a fun art project or an exciting outing. She also jumps in to help me with dinner and organizing - a true gem. We’re referring everyone to you! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!”

Heidi

“I couldn’t be more pleased with the service that Westside Nannies provides. From their prompt initial response to working with their staff to find the ideal nanny for our 2-year-old son…it was all such a pleasure! When Brooke walked in, my son, who normally doesn’t get excited about mama leaving, couldn’t stop saying “bye mom, bye dad” and waving at us. She even put him to sleep the first day and I honestly didn’t think that could happen – simply amazing! I recommend Westside Nannies to everyone with kids!”

Jesse DeSanti
