Short-term/Temporary Care
Once a parent makes a request for back-up care, we locate one of our providers who has experience with the specific age of the child(ren). Providers and parents have an opportunity to speak with one another before the provider comes to the family's home to go over instructions and negotiate the salary. At the end of the day, the family pays the provider the hourly fee. The agency daily referral fee is charged to the parents credit card.
Back-Up Care
Raising a family requires dependable childcare arrangements, whether for a few hours or a few months. We offer the childcare you want and the flexibility you need to attend classes; take a business trip or other overnight stay; as back-up care when your normal childcare arrangements are interrupted due to illness, school holidays, snow days, summer vacation or other emergencies, or whenever family demands require an additional adult on the scene. We provide childcare options suited to your specific schedule. Rates vary from $15 - $20 per hour.
Overnights
Whenever your plans require an overnight stay, you want peace of mind knowing your children are under the watchful eye of a professional. Whether you're planning a night on the town or need to be away on business travel, our nannies offer trusted care when you can't be there.

Our newborn specialists provide valuable support for parents - day, night or around the clock. Whether you need a baby nurse, a lactation consultant, someone to help manage the additional care required with multiples, or just an extra pair of hands, newborn specialists offer tremendous assistance during your family's transition time.
We suggest you begin your search early in your pregnancy, so you have your newborn care specialist in place when you bring your baby home. However, we can also handle your immediate needs, too.
