✦ Same process. Same vetting.

We never shortcut the placement process — even for short stays.

Super Nannies follows the same placement process whether it's a permanent or temporary nanny. The interview and trial procedure is just as important — especially as children are involved. We still recommend on a trial period despite the short time frame.

  • Full reference & background checks
  • In-person interviews
  • Mandatory trial period
  • Written contract before start
Temporary placement fees

Transparent rates, no surprises.

Final rates depend on the length of cover and where you live — your agent will confirm everything in writing before you commit.
