We have a wealth of experience to help your family find the right fit for all of your Nanny needs. We can link you to Overseas, Full Time and Event Nannies. We can also provide an extra pair of hands for parents with a newborn baby or babies in the form of a Maternity nurse. We can even find you a Nanny to help out during your Wedding or Holiday!
At Smart Nanny our aim is provide a high standard of care from whichever range of service you require from us, that is why we would like to go that extra little bit for both family and nanny to ensure you have exactly what you need when you find that perfect match!
The benefit of Smart Nanny is that Lorraine is a highly qualified Nanny and Maternity nurse, and she has first hand knowledge from both sides of what is needed for a successful recruitment match.
During her time working in Ireland and overseas she has recruited and trained nannies up to a high standard for her clients.
We would like to offer this service to families and nannies both in Ireland and overseas; whereby Lorraine personally visits the family in the first two weeks with their new Nanny and establishes exactly what the family needs from the new recruit!
Families primarily want a nanny in their home for a long period of time and for both parties to be happy from commencement of employment. The Smart Nanny Package offers the family a chance to “hit the ground running”, while also giving the nanny the tools and confidence in their new role to perform at a high level.
A Maternity Nurse is especially qualified in the professional care of newborn babies in your private home. Parents will book prior to the birth of their baby. It sometimes can be very reassuring you to have an extra pair of hands and the calming reassurance of a Maternity Nurse after birth.
Most Maternity Nurses will work on a 24 hour / 6 days a week basis with breaks in that period that is agreed to with both parties before commencement of the services.
You may also feel the need for a Maternity Nurse solely for night time care, to guarantee you also get a lovely sleep and aid post birth recovery!
A Nanny is a professional childcarer; someone who you welcome into your home to provide specific care to your children of any age. A nanny generally works within the household and is specifically qualified to nurture the childs developmental needs.
Nannies co-ordinate duties within the household; preparing healthy meals for the children, arrange activities and school pick ups & play dates.
The main roll of a Nanny is to care solely for the children, other duties would have to be agreed on between family and carer.
Temporary Nannies are very sought after for families who may need someone to help them out not for a shorter period of time rather than a full permanent contract. They are qualified and provide the same service as a full time nanny.
Nannies themselves also may opt for temporary positions to work around their own life plans.
This is a very popular service with couples and families looking for professional carers to cover their special days and events. It’s so reassuring to know on a special occasion that your children are being looked after with the highest of care.
The benefits of having a ‘Holiday Nanny” with you on your time off is always a huge plus. A Nanny travelling with you offers an extra pair hands to your family and a familiar face to care for your children if you wanted some well deserved ‘child-free’ moments with your partner or friends. Holiday nannies generally are competent swimmers, love travelling and enjoy being abroad.
