On-Call Nanny

Town + Country’s experienced On-Call Nannies provide excellent care for your children if your regular nanny is unavailable, you are planning a date night or weekend getaway or have a last-minute need to care for a sick child. Our excellent pool of Nannies is available for both urgent needs and with advanced planning.

Our On-Call Nannies are childcare professionals, not babysitters. All Town + Country On-Call Nannies have been carefully vetted and have completely clean background checks and excellent records. They always put safety and health first and are experienced working with a range of families and children with different needs and personalities. Duties of Town + Country On-Call Nannies can include:

  • Planning and sharing fun activities with new youngsters of all ages
  • Ensuring that critical activities happen how and when they are supposed to – from getting kids dressed and ready for school, to getting to bed at the proper time.

Depending on the family’s needs and the length of the engagement, an On-Call Nanny may assume some of the duties of a permanent Nanny.

Compensation Information

  • On-Call Nannies typically charge between $30 and $40 per hour. Additional fees may apply for after-hours requests.
  • For Temporary Assignments, there is a four-hour minimum.
  • There is an Agency fee equal to 35% of the Nanny’s gross compensation or $50/day, whichever is greater.
  • For unsubscribed clients, there is an additional $250 booking fee for each group of bookings which must be booked at the same time.
  • All parking fees must be reimbursed to the nanny upon completion of the job.
  • The Nanny’s agreed upon hourly rate should be paid directly to the Nanny at the completion of the booking.
  • All fees are non-refundable once charged. All agency charges are initiated once the booking has been confirmed by the client and Nanny.

What clients and staff are saying:

“I was really happy with my entire “temporary nanny” experience with Town + Country. You guys made it really easy for me to request a Nanny, and it allowed me to concentrate on the rest of my hectic life with one less thing to worry about. Many, many thanks!”

– Rachel

“I will always remember how your company came to my rescue 2 days before my September 1999 wedding. We needed childcare for 5 or 6 guests’ children, and the Mountain View agency we had made arrangements with suddenly fell through. Someone at Stanford Park Hotel told us to give you a call and we were amazed at how seamlessly and efficiently you handled it. Just like you do now:)”

– Jane

“Even when you need a temporary Nanny, finding the right match is important. Town + Country Resources has the largest pool of temporary, on-call Nannies in the Bay Area. We know these Nannies very well and can find someone who will be the right fit for you.”
