Many children head back to school next month. Summertime can be very busy for families with camps, travel, and other activities. Nannies can play an important role in helping families ease into the school year while minimizing stress by taking things off of the family’s back to school “to do” list.

Hi everyone! Laura from Nanny Parent Connection back with my next video.
The top two questions I am asked most frequently are:
How much does nanny care truly cost?
What hourly rate can I expect to pay my nanny?
The short answer to these two questions is that it depends on a number of factors.
In today’s video, let’s walk through how much a nanny truly costs from start to finish. I cover all of the costs that you will need to keep in mind from how much it costs to search for a nanny all the way through how much to spend on nanny appreciation.
The numbers I discuss in this video are current as of early summer 2023. If you’d like more information on nanny pay rates and other compensation, check out the most recent results of our Pay Rate Survey by clicking here.

It’s Laura back with my latest video which this week, focuses on a serious topic I hear so many friends, neighbors and family members discussing these days.
It seems that everyday, we hear about another incident of gun violence. The United States is the most heavily armed country in the world. For every 100 people in America, there are over 120 guns.
Why should you care about this as a nanny?
With such a high concentration of firearms, chances are your nanny family likely has a gun in their home. Statistics show that over 4.5 million children in the US live in a home with a loaded or unlocked firearm.
Check out my latest video where I cover my tips for how to talk about guns and gun safety with your nanny family. It can be an uncomfortable topic but it is necessary these days to ensure everyone’s safety.
Pro Tip: If your nanny family has guns in the house but doesn’t keep them secure, feel free to share this website about the different types of firearm locking devices and where to purchase.
Hi everyone!
Many people have certain “feelings” about a nanny bringing their own child to their nanny job. There are many families that aren’t interested in this arrangement and as a result, there are SO many fantastic nannies who struggle to find positions where they can bring their own child.
Check out my latest video where I discuss the pros and cons of a nanny bringing their own child to their nanny job.
While not everyone is a fan of these types of arrangements, I have worked with multiple nannies who brought their own child along when caring for mine and it was AMAZING!
