Hire a Nanny or Other Childcare Services in Highland Park, TX

Nanny

(Live-In or Out)

Many families have demanding schedules or are two-parent working families and require full-time help with the children. Some families have a single parent as head of the household. Regardless of your dynamic, children who are not old enough to attend school require a caregiver whose focus is directed solely on the welfare and well-being of the child. In the case of older children, light household chores and/or errands may be required. Most frequently, the nanny cares for the children in the family’s home and undertakes all duties related to the care of the children, including* domestic tasks relating to the children. They may or may not have had any formal training, though often have a good deal of actual experience. Not a foreign Au Pair, many of our over 21 Elite Nannies have excellent language skills in Spanish, French, even Japanese, Mandarin, or Russian. Art, music, and athletics round out activities, as well as child development or special needs caregivers. Salary is based on experience.

Nanny Manager
As children enter school, an Elite full-time Nanny is no longer needed.

Lives in or out and works for a family to provide full or part-time childcare and cleaning help for families in which one parent is home most of the time. These positions are similar to full-time nannies, however at least one parent (usually the mother) does not work outside the home. This parent requires assistance in the care of the children and the household. The amount of emphasis placed on each of these roles for the parent and the nanny at any given time is contingent on the family’s needs and requires flexibility on any given day. Salary based on experience.
