We recommend beginning this placement process 8+ weeks before your desired start date. However, we have been able to complete placements less than 2 weeks in the past, but cannot be guaranteed.
Your Dedicated Coastal Placement Nanny
A placement nanny is a professional caregiver employed by Coastal Child Care to provide consistent, long-term care. Unlike occasional babysitters, placement nannies are part of a fully managed service, including payroll, taxes, and ongoing support.
Placement Nanny Requirements:
-
Minimum Hours: At least 20 working hours per week.
-
​Working Hours: The total hours your nanny is usually scheduled to work each week.
-
-
Guaranteed Hours: Minimum of within 10 hours of the total (starting at a minimum of 20 hours per week) usual weekly schedule.
-
​Guaranteed Hours: The minimum hours your family commits to pay each week, even with schedule changes. Example: If a family has 40 working hours, the guaranteed hours must be at least 30 per week.
-
-
​Preferred Duration: Nannies are preferred for 6 months or longer (summer exceptions apply). For placements under 6 months, please email info@coastalchildcare.com for details.
