Southeast Iowa Nanny Agency
Full-Time, Part-Time and Temporary Nannies
Information for Families
Most children thrive when they are well cared for by a nurturing and attentive child care provider in the comfort of their own home. The one-on-one care and interaction that a nanny provides gives children a deep sense of self worth and security. Since nannies typically stay with a family for a minimum of one year, the consistent relationship that children have with their caregiver allows them to develop a meaningful bond with a caring adult that has the child’s best interests at heart.
For parents who need flexible child care arrangements, or wish to direct their children’s daily activities and care structure, nanny care can be the perfect solution. Since the parents are the nanny’s employer, they define the nanny’s role and responsibilities and manage how the nanny spends her time with their children. Because the children are cared for in their own home, parents don’t have to rush to get everyone out of the house in the morning and off to day care, which is the ultimate in child care convenience.
Children cared for by nannies are also less likely to become sick because they aren’t exposed to the many germs that large groups of children bring into a traditional day care environment. Unlike child care centers, nannies are able to provide child care for mildly ill children, therefore parents don’t have to rearrange their work schedules or find last minute backup care should their child become sick. For parents with more than one child, nanny care can be cost effective as well. Unlike traditional day care, parents don’t have to pay an additional fee for each child. Nannies are paid one rate to care for all the children in their employer’s family.-
Because we understand that you want the highest quality care for your children, Southeast Iowa Nanny Agency employs a rigorous screening and training process for all our nannies. We will only refer nannies that have been thoroughly interviewed, screened and meet the requirements set forth by Southeast Iowa Nanny Agency. In addition, we also advocate for the nanny as well and only refer families who have successfully passed an interview and reference checks. This helps assure that the nannies we work with feel confident in the families we refer to them. Our goal is to provide parents with safe, secure, and quality childcare with loving nannies as well as provide nannies with families who have had positive and professional relationships with previous childcare providers.
