Which nanny would you prefer? From Junior Nanny to Super Nanny.
In the field of childcare, there is not just one nanny. As in all other professions, there is a wide range of segments, fields, directions and specializations. On the one hand, these relate to the age and stage of life of the child being cared for. For every phase of development, from birth through the school years, there is the right nanny, precisely focused on that stage.
Then there are individual circumstances that require a different form of specialization in a nanny. This may also concern the desired educational background, such as Montessori, Waldorf or similar approaches.
But the specific living environment can also require a specialized nanny. This may concern the particular location of childcare. Or regular travel. Frequent changes of residence. Multiple homes. Even care on a yacht. For all these aspects, the right nanny must bring the appropriate skills.
In addition, there are aspects such as children who require special sleep support. Or children with disabilities. Children with special needs. Bilingual care or native speaking.
Life circumstances can also require a specialized form of childcare, such as care by a VIP nanny who can confidently handle the particular demands of a VIP environment. Here, very specific expectations of a nanny are in focus.
Different time requirements may be reflected in the choice of the ideal nanny, such as with a rota nanny who takes over care in alternating intervals. The option of a live-in nanny or live-out nanny also means that the appropriate professional should be selected accordingly.
Which needs require which nanny can be defined in one or more detailed conversations. Often – and this becomes clear to us in these discussions – families are not even aware of what range of services exists, to what extent, and with which specializations. This becomes particularly visible in our own Nanny Academy. Here, we specialize nannies in topics that only become relevant for families when the need suddenly arises. Since our nannies already cover and fulfill these areas, it often remains invisible. Which we actually prefer. Because solving problems before they become visible is an important aspect of the family happiness we strive for.
And we do not even list all professional profiles. More are constantly being added.
This is because childcare in private households faces ever new demands, as ongoing changes continually bring new requirements.
That is why a conversation based on trust is so important. To truly get to the heart of the real needs. The quality of our questions plays a decisive role here. The better the questions, the more informative the answers. As an agency, we cannot expect everyone to know and describe their needs perfectly and precisely. This is where our long experience, the many conversations and the constant exchange with all parties involved greatly benefit us.
As so often, the client has a wish, and we must know how to make it come true. The complexity of this challenge is usually greater than the client anticipates. Many factors play an important role. The perfect match is always the goal.
And to make such a perfect match possible, every aspect that can be identified is of importance. It is like the key-and-lock principle: when all parties are open, honest and directly involved in the process, the door opens to a desirable, professional and loving form of childcare. Exactly as everyone envisioned.
Over the years, we have grown from an innovative start-up and absolute newcomer into an established and renowned market leader in this field within the German-speaking region. In placing one of these many specialized nannies in high-end private households, we have, for years now, reached what we once dreamed of in the beginning. And we have never lost our start-up mentality. Because we have come to value this committed, motivated and inspired hands-on mentality.
So, if you share with us your exact wishes and your vision of complete family happiness, we will most likely be able to fulfill them. Within our extensive applicant database, the right nanny will certainly be found. And the good thing is: new ones are constantly being added.
We look forward to being able to fulfill your wish.
