In Search of Nanny refers screened and qualified caregivers for short-term assignments in metro Boston for a minimum of 4 hours to full-time hours extending up to a few months. Parents can register for the Agency's temporary services for a one-time use or on an annual basis.

Our temporary caregivers will care for a sick child or provide support for a post-partum mother and her newborn. Many parents utilize our temporary caregivers when they are attending a wedding or must work on a special work-related project. Often parents searching for a more permanent caregiver do not have sufficient time to conduct their search. Rather than hiring the wrong caregiver too quickly they utilize the services of an In Search of Nanny temporary caregiver to give them the time to make the ideal long-term choice.

Parents are confident because our temporary caregivers are personally interviewed and screened just as any permanent caregiver we refer. Unlike Internet posting sites which provide no verification or screening of an individual or background, our temporary caregivers go through the same personal and thorough process. Our clients understand that it does not matter if a caregiver if caring for children for one day or long-term, they should be evaluated just as carefully. Parents that hire an In Search of Nanny temporary caregiver are comfortable going on a business trip or vacation or returning to work knowing their children will be happy and well cared for by someone they can trust.
