Frequently Asked Questions by Nannies
Where do your families come from?
Nannies of Nebraska places nannies nationwide.
How do you find your families?
We obtain a substantial amount of families by word of mouth and referrals. We have an adequate supply of families on hand at all times.
What kind of information will I receive about the families?
The families fill out a detailed application similar to the application filled out by the nannies. You will receive a copy of the family profile, which includes photos of the family and home, once we know a family will be contacting you.
How long does the process take?
This varies for each individual nanny. Our agency will continue to submit your application to families until you have found the appropriate match. We are available for any questions you would have about the families.
How many hours a week can I expect to work?
Work hours are to average 8-10 hours per day for full-time with 2 days off per week.
Part-time hours are to average 5-25 hours per week.
Temporary hours will vary depending on the families needs.
Do the families pay for transportation to the job?

What kind of questions should I ask a potential family?
A list of questions will be provided to the nanny to ask a potential family.
Do you provide post placement support?
