[quote=Anonymous][twitter][quote=Anonymous]I think White House Nannies is a good fit for this. We used them to cover our nanny's two week vacation one summer, and then about nine months later, when our nanny got super super sick and was suddenly unable to work, we were able to get care (though it was often a different person each day). You pay something like $350 upfront to be in their system for a year and fill out some paperwork, and then any day that you need care, you can just request it through their Portal. It's $50 a day to WHN when you use it, plus you pay the nanny directly. We ended up using them just about every day for six weeks. We had two nannies that we asked them not to send again after one day, but even those, the kids were safe and decently cared for, and the nannies were clearly professionals with experience (one I caught on her phone multiple times, one was really into gender roles and so basically wouldn't listen to anything my husband said without checking with me, which is not our vibe). All the others were really solid, a couple were great, and one we ended up offering a full time job to. [/quote] +1 to WHN, we liked them very much. [/quote]
