The Benefits of Using A Nanny Share Agency In Denver

Starting a nanny share can be a wonderful childcare solution for families. But building one that actually lasts takes a little more intention than most people realize. Here are five reasons many families choose to work with an agency when building a nanny share.

1.) Agencies Plan For The Future

Finding a family you meet and click with, be it on Facebook or in the neighborhood, and starting a nanny share with them is great (no really, it is). But sharing a nanny also means becoming employers together: coordinating schedules, pay, time off, and most importantly, communication.

When you work with our agency, we will walk your family through a detailed checklist to make sure everyone in the pod is aligned on the little things such as schedules, pay structure, vacations, guaranteed hours and so much more.

2.) Agencies Match Families Intentionally

Just because two families get along doses’t always mean a nanny share will run smoothly. Agreeing on schedules, parenting styles, expectations and communication preferences matter  much more than people realize.

Having children who are close in age or similar in temperament is a great start, but a successful nanny share requires more intentionality than chemistry. Our agency helps match families intentionally so the pod has a strong foundation from the start. 

3.) Agencies Help Set Clear Agreements

Manny nanny sharers run into problems simply because expectations weren’t discussed ahead of time. “We’ll figure it out later” can quickly become a slippery slope when multiple families and a nanny are trying to coordinate schedules, responsibilities, and time off. 

We help families talk through important details like sick days, holidays, schedule changes, and responsibilities early so everyone knows what to expect. 

4.) Agencies Support The Nanny Too

A happy nanny is the backbone to any successful nanny share (that and communication)Former nanny here: I cannot stress this enough, please communicate with your nanny. Even the little things.

Clear exceptions, fair pay, and good communication make a huge difference in long term stability.Our agency helps ensure the nanny’s role is clearly defined so everyone feels respected and supported. 

5.) Agencies Help Navigate Challenges 

Even the best nanny share will run into bumps along the way (just like the kiddos, we the adults are learning everyday). Kids grow, schedules change, and sometimes families need help navigating those moments. 

When you work with an agency, you have a team to guide those conversations so the share can continue to work for everyone.
