FULL TIME, PART TIME, TEMPORARY AND AFTER SCHOOL NANNIES:
Clients may choose to employ a full time nanny. A full time nanny works with your family on either a live-in or live out basis and will usually work an average of 40-50 hours per week. A full time nanny will ease your mind and simplify your life by ensuring that your child, healthy or sick, will be cared for at home, in an environment that is familiar, comfortable, loving and safe. Additionally, hiring a full time nanny is a great way to ensure that your child will receive the one on one interaction and individualized attention that he or she will need to develop and thrive. Your nanny will structure your child's day how you want it to be structured and not how an individual childcare facility mandates it to be done.
Another popular choice is the part time nanny. A part time nanny is very similar to the full time nanny. The main difference between the two is that the part time nanny works less than forty hours a week and is generally paid by the hour. Your part time nanny's hourly rate will be based on her previous childcare experience, her level of education & your family's specific requirements (i.e. the number of children in your family, the level of housework required, etc.).
Is there a parent who is ill? Do you have a child on a waiting list to enter into a daycare facility? Is your full time nanny on vacation? Temporary nannies from CPS are available when a parent (s) is unable to care for a child, when your permanent caregiver is not available, when your family is in the process of searching for a permanent caregiver or you have been placed on a waiting list to get into a childcare facility such as a preschool or daycare. Temporary nannies are paid either a temporary weekly salary or an hourly rate depending on whether they are working full or part time hours.
After school sitters are available to transport children home from school or meet them at the bus stop. The after school sitter may assist with homework, chores and supervise after school activities. Sitters may be asked to transport children to sport, music, dance classes or other extra curricular activities. An after school sitter may start the preparation of a family meal at the end of her shift or prepare and feed a meal to the children before the parent(s) arrives home from work.
Summer nannies may begin employment in late May or early June and work until mid August or early September. Summer nannies offer an alternae choice to summer camps. A summer nanny is a way to ensure that your children to have an enjoyable, stress free summer vacation. Summer nannies will encourage your children to read throughout the summer as well as engage them in other educational activities that will prepare them to re-enter the classroom in the fall. Summer nannies will participate in outdoor activities with your children such as biking, roller blading, swimming and tennis. Summer nannies will gladly escort your children on outings to the library, the park, the zoo and local attractions such as Discovery Place and Carowinds. Summer nannies may assist parents by running errands to the grocery store, the dry cleaners and picking children up from car pools. Summer nannies will also take children to scheduled appointments such as haircuts, dental cleanings and doctor visits.
Summer nannies are typically college students majoring in education, family and child development, psychology, nursing or other related fields. These college students are typically seeking a "hands-on" summer job where they can develop their skills working with children. Preschool, elementary, middle and junior high school teachers are other individuals who often seek summer nanny employment through CPS.
