9 Ways Nannies on Call Nannies Can Help During Babysitting Appointments

So what are the 9 ways our nannies can help families during babysitting appointments?

Nannies on Call nannies typically help out with childcare-related duties like:

  1. Indoor/outdoor playtime

  2. Arts & crafts

  3. Reading time

  4. Bath time

  5. Preparing light meals and snacks for the children

  6. Cleaning up after the kids' meals and activities

  7. Tidying up their bedrooms

  8. Doing the children's laundry

  9. Helping out with homework

Since babysitting nannies focus on childcare only, they generally don't:

  • Perform general housekeeping

  • Cook family meals

  • Do family laundry

  • Drive with the children

  • Provide overnight care

  • Provide regular before/after-school care

  • Provide consistency (i.e. work with the same family longer than a few days in a row)


If you’re a busy parent who needs a break, or a few hours to catch up on errands, scheduling a nanny for in-home babysitting may be the perfect solution!


Our babysitting service helps families with occasional in-home childcare scenarios like:

  • Coverage on school professional development days or daycare closures

  • Coverage when your regular nanny is sick or away

  • Some nannies are comfortable caring for children with non-COVID-19-related mild illnesses

  • Personal appointments

  • Work commitments

  • Date nights

Our in-home babysitting service is perfect for families who:

  • Need only occasional childcare

  • Are comfortable working with a variety of nannies, as opposed to a single, regular nanny

  • Require in-home childcare only (no housekeeping or driving)


What we offer: Our by-appointment babysitting service is a subscription-based membership that gives you access to our pool of expertly pre-screened nannies for in-home babysitting appointments in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Ottawa.
