Nanny
Our Nanny Placement Process
Our nanny placement process begins with a family consultation. We will come to your home or meet via Zoom to discuss your family's needs and desires. During this visit, we review Gig's N DCS's nanny service policies and placement process, and we discuss the standards we uphold when hiring a nanny.
A non-refundable consultation fee is due at the start of the initial visit to get the process underway. This consultation allows us to get to know you and your family so we can make the best match possible. We'll cover nanny duties and pay rates, answer all your questions about our services and fees, and provide interview questions for when it's time to meet candidates. We also walk families through how to negotiate rates, outline the daily duties you'd like your nanny to fulfill, and discuss how to build and maintain a positive working relationship with your nanny.
The Placement Timeline
The nanny placement process takes an average of 6 weeks. Once the initial family consultation and placement payment are complete, we begin our search for the best candidate for your family.
By week four, Gig's N DCS will begin sending you nanny applications and résumés to review. Every candidate we send is carefully selected. We typically screen 10–20 applicants per position and forward only those we believe are the strongest match for your family. Our goal is to take the pressure off of you and make this process as smooth as possible. We understand that inviting someone new into your home to care for your child is a big step, and we are with you every step of the way.
Before you meet any nanny, we will have already screened them by phone, conducted a face-to-face interview if needed, verified childcare-related references, performed a social media and online screening, and confirmed current CPR/First Aid certification.
Once you identify a nanny you'd like to move forward with, a full background check will be conducted. This includes driving history, county and federal criminal records, Social Security verification, and a check of the sexual offender registry. Once everything clears, the formal interview process with your selected candidates begins.

Position Types
Full-Time Live-Out Nanny
A full-time live-out nanny works between 30 and 50 hours per week. Full-time nannies typically prefer a set schedule and expect guaranteed hours each week.
Part-Time Nanny
A part-time nanny works up to 28 hours per week. Part-time arrangements can include after-school care, a few days per week, weekends, or any other schedule as long as the nanny is guaranteed a set number of hours.
Temporary / Summer Nanny
This placement is ideal if you need a nanny for fewer than three months or over the summer. Summer nannies are often college students or teachers looking to work before the school year begins.
Travel Nanny
Vacation Nanny
Taking a vacation with little ones is a beautiful thing, but let's be honest, it doesn't always feel like a break. A vacation nanny gives parents the relief they deserve, the space to reconnect as a couple, and the freedom actually to enjoy the destination.
Gig's NDCS can assist with finding qualified vacation nannies for trips lasting two weeks or longer, and for shorter trips on a case-by-case basis.
You love your children, and you also deserve a real vacation.
With a vacation nanny, you can:
-
Enjoy a true adults-only date night
-
Indulge in spa treatments, cocktail hours, and grown-up experiences
-
Sleep in without little hands waking you up
-
Dine at that restaurant you've been saving for a special occasion
-
Visit museums, historic sites, and attractions at your own pace
-
Breathe and come back to your kids fully recharged
Doula
Birth Doula Services
A birth doula, also known as a birth partner or labor coach, walks alongside families through one of life's most powerful experiences: bringing a baby into the world.
Your doula's sole focus is you. From emotional support and physical comfort to trusted information and resources, they are trained and present to ensure you feel safe, seen, and supported every step of the way. Their purpose is to help you have a birth experience that feels fulfilling and empowering on your terms.
From the moment we agree to work together, your primary doula is on call for you whenever and wherever you need her.
Gig's NDCS offers a variety of programs and plans so you can choose the level of support that's right for your family. And no matter which plan you choose, we guarantee you'll have the birth support you need when it matters most.

-
Activity fees: Admission to all child-friendly activities and outings
