What Are GrandNannies?

GrandNannies! is a great personalized babysitting service – and it’s also a win-win concept for families and caregivers.

In the past, extended families lived in the same town, so moms and dads had trusted relatives to babysit for them. These days, young families often move to new communities where they have friends and colleagues, but not a network of responsible caregivers.

That’s where GrandNannies! comes into the picture. We’re mature babysitters who offer the kind of care grandparents used to provide. Thanks to our experience and dependability, you can go to work or out on a date night with peace of mind.

Your children will also have a great time with their GrandNanny. We love to do fun, creative activities both indoors and out, and youngsters enjoy the warm, caring interaction we provide. We’re the next best thing to having grandma and grandpa down the street!

Quality From Start to Finish

GrandNannies come with years of experience and provide the caring and attention children need while their parents are away.

This starts the moment mom or dad leaves the house, with Grandnannies offering fun activities for children to concentrate on during the transition. The fun continues through playtime and mealtime, and Grandnannies also make bedtime enjoyable with songs and stories. All in all, a GrandNanny gives the high-quality, hands-on care every child loves.

Having Fun With Art & Science

GrandNannies love to involve children in art activities, scientific exploration, reading and singing. We combine learning and enjoyment in all kinds of creative ways.

With toddlers, we encourage water and sandbox play, and we engage older children in art projects from drawing to making playdough. Some GrandNannies are especially fond of nature, and they introduce youngsters to the wonders of birds, butterflies and other animals.

When GrandNannies read to children, it's an active process. We use animated voices to make book characters come alive, and we ask questions so our young listeners get more involved in each story.

All in all, a day with a GrandNanny is a day of fun!

Short-Notice Sitters

Finding child care on short notice can be a challenge -- but not with GrandNannies! If I'm not available to baby sit, I'm happy to call other GrandNannies to see whether they're free. We often can meet your needs even at the last minute.

The same principle applies to longer-term positions. In the past, I wasn't able to take a certain job but I introduced another GrandNanny to a mother who was looking for care. That was 18 months ago, and the mom, child and nanny have had a wonderful ongoing relationship ever since!
