C.A.R.E. – Compassionate, Attentive, Reliable, and Empathetic
At The Nanny Nook, C.A.R.E. isn’t just a motto—it’s the foundation of everything we do. From first conversation to each care visit, we strive to embody Compassion, Attentiveness, Reliability, and Empathy in every interaction. These values are essential to building trust and providing the kind of childcare experience that helps families truly thrive.
Life gets busy — and sometimes you just need an extra set of hands. Whether it’s a date night, a day to catch up, or some space to breathe, we’re here when you need us.
Consistent, dedicated care throughout the week — ideal for families looking for daily structure and support. Your child will enjoy enriching hands-on learning with a trusted caregiver they grow with day by day.
Need support a few days a week? A few hours a day? We’ve got you. Perfect for hybrid-working parents or families who need regular care on a lighter schedule.
From daytime feeding and soothing to overnight care so you can rest — we’re here to make the newborn stage feel a little smoother.
Every child is different. Whether they’re navigating big feelings, sensory sensitivity, or simply need a little extra patience — we meet them right where they are.
We make those post-school hours feel calm and balanced — with snacks, homework help, outdoor play, and a little wind-down before dinner.
We create a unique care plan for every child — no cookie-cutter routines. Through hands-on, play-based learning and observation, we follow your child’s natural interests and patterns.
Because children learn by doing — and by watching the world around them.
Children feel more secure when they know what’s coming next — but that doesn’t mean every day has to be the same. Our care follows a gentle rhythm that gives children structure while making room for spontaneity, creativity, and emotional cues. Eat. Sleep. Play. Repeat — with structure and room to grow.
The best learning happens when children feel safe, supported, and free to be themselves. We nurture not just happy kids, but healthy, confident ones — mentally, emotionally, and physically. Because children shine brightest when they feel free to be who they are.
A warm, no-pressure conversation to understand your child’s personality, routines, and what matters most to your family. We’ll walk you through how our services work and help you feel confident about what comes next. It’s not a sales pitch—it’s the start of a trusted relationship.
This free 30-minute call is your opportunity to talk through your child’s needs, ask questions, and see if we’re the right fit.
Before your first session, we offer an optional 30-minute in-home visit. Our caregiver will arrive early to walk through your home, learn your routines, and make sure everyone feels comfortable and prepared.
From day one, you’ll feel the difference. We arrive ready, grounded, and focused—so your child receives calm, consistent care, and you can go through your day worry free.
