Michelle's Story
How Nannies on Call Came to Be
In 2000 I missed and important event because I could not find a satisfactory babysitter for my two daughters. My youngest was less than a year old and I was not comfortable leaving her with my 14 year old neighbor, who was at the time the only option. At that point, I realized there was an opportunity in the child care market. A year later in 2001 Nannies on Call was born.
My goal was to change babysitting from hiring the teenager down the street to a professional, secure and trusted nanny service. Years later, hundreds of families and businesses rely on Nannies on Call every week to fill their vast and varied childcare needs.
From the start Nannies on Call has distinguished itself through innovation. My ultimate goal was to make Nannies on Call “the” leader in the industry. It was important to me to define standards that would be truly important to families. Standards for safety, convenience and quality.
I was the first agency to require nannies to complete an RCMP criminal record check and have a valid CPR/First Aid certificate. Families know that when a nanny that arrives at their door from Nannies on Call she or he has been pre screened, has been trained in first aid, has a clean criminal record, is bonded and most of all is someone I would personally trust to care for my own children.
I have also introduced families to a 24 hour paging system. If your child is sick and can not go to school or daycare, you can page Nannies on call at 10PM and have a nanny at your home by 8AM in time for you to go to work.
Since opening in 2001 Nannies on Call has grown to include a placement side of the business that is just as innovative and cutting edge. We now also provide childcare placement options that are tailored to each specific families needs. Whether that be a Full Time, Part Time, Temporary, or Short Term Placement. This flexibility also allows us to cater to a wide variety of nannies scheduling needs as well. We excel at matching families and nannies so that both of our client’s bases are completely satisfied. Most of all....we excel at finding great matches so that the kids are safe, happy and well looked after.
Again, our goal is not just to provide childcare, it is to provide “The highest quality of childcare. ” period, across the board.
