Nanny Placements

A short-term placement is any placement less than four months. Short-term placements are a wonderful way to ensure childcare during uncertain or short periods of time. A long-term placement is any placement over four months. Long-term placements are ideal for families who are looking to make a nanny a crucial addition to their family.

When you choose to work with Boston Baby Nurse & Nanny, we will provide you with several tools and resources designed to help you make the best decision for you and your family.

• Nanny/Family Work Agreements/Contracts – a customizable work agreement that you can provide to your new nanny to detail her job description, house rules, benefits, etc.
• Preparing for Nanny Interview – a document that contains suggested interview questions and suggestions on what to look for during your interview.
• Candidate Portfolio – contains documents that help you to learn about each individual nanny candidate.
• Employment & Tax Consultation – to help you understand what Massachusetts domestic employment laws are. We can provide resources to help guide you through the hiring and employment process.

The team at BBN&N understands that a successful relationship stems from open communication and clear expectations. BBN&N wants both the family and the nanny to be completely satisfied with the working relationship. Although the team works hard to create an ideal match, of course changes can occur. The best way to ensure a lasting relationship is to sign an employment agreement and have your nanny sign it as well. If the relationship does not work out within the first 60 days of a long-term contract, BBN&N will help you find a replacement nanny free of charge.

In order to foster a positive employer/employee relationship, many families choose to provide their nanny with benefits such as paid holidays, vacation, and sick time. Additional benefits include a health insurance contribution, guaranteed hours, and transportation reimbursement (i.e. MBTA pass, mileage, ride share reimbursement).

Yes. Massachusetts law states that “employers must pay overtime to workers who work more than 40 hours in any week. Overtime pay is at least 1.5 x the regular rate of pay for each hour over 40 hours.”

Nanny compensation ranges from approximately $22-30 per hour. Experience, education, and number of children, in addition to other job responsibilities such as housework, grocery shopping, and meal preparation are all factors that should be considered when determining your nanny’s compensation.
