Nanny
Nannies in Boca Raton
Nannies for Boca Raton families who want the same trusted person with their children for years, on a live-in, live-out or rota schedule.
Boca Raton
A nanny in Boca Raton is often hired for the long run. Families here tend to stay put and raise their children in the same house, and the nanny who works out becomes part of that continuity. The Wellington Agency places nannies across Boca Raton, East Boca, Delray, Highland Beach, Parkland and Fort Lauderdale, in full-time, part-time and rota positions.
Rota nannies are in demand. Two nannies alternate, typically weeks on and weeks off, so a household with long or unpredictable hours has full coverage without wearing one person out. It suits families who move between homes or need cover in the evenings and at weekends, and it works best when the two nannies keep the same routines and rules.
The role in Boca Raton
A nanny's days in Boca Raton
Boca is a year-round home for many of the families we serve, so the nanny's calendar follows the school year instead of a season: drop-off and pick-up, homework, after-school activities, and long summer weeks with the children at home. Summer here means heat, afternoon thunderstorms and a lot of time in and around the water. A nanny who is calm and watchful at a pool or on the beach matters more than almost anything else on a resume.
Languages come up in the brief as well. Families ask us for nannies who will speak Spanish, French or Italian with the children. If you want a child to grow up with a second language, raise it in the first conversation, because it shapes the shortlist from the start.
It is also worth deciding whether you need a nanny or a governess. A nanny looks after the day to day: meals, routines, outings, safety and care. A governess follows a curriculum, holds the children to it, and usually travels with the family, which suits households where schooling has to continue while they are away from Boca Raton.
Why Wellington
Why Wellington for a Boca Raton nanny
We ask parents about their approach before we present anyone: sleep, food, screens, discipline, how much structure a day should have. A nanny's instincts have to match the parents' own, and when they do, the placement tends to last. We also ask every candidate why they left previous families, because staying power is what Boca families tend to want.
Every candidate goes through reference checks and background verification before you meet them. We place live-in and live-out nannies, and The Wellington Agency is a licensed agency. A nanny search typically takes 2 to 6 weeks, including trials.
Questions
Frequently asked
Often, yes. Rota nannies are in demand because two people sharing the role can cover long days, evenings and travel without either burning out. If the role is live-in, it needs private accommodation for whoever is on duty, and it always needs a clear handover between the two.
We can search for it. Mandarin and Russian are both among the languages families ask us for. Tell us whether you want the language spoken all day or taught at set times, since that changes who suits the role.
Hire a nanny for daily care, and a governess if you want a set curriculum followed and someone to travel with the children. Some families with children at different stages employ both, with a clear agreement on who decides what.
Where the home has a pool, yes. Water is part of daily life in South Florida, and most of our candidates hold CPR certification. It is reasonable to ask how a candidate supervises children at a pool and to make a current CPR certificate a condition of the role.
