Questions about babysitting services
Yes, the Nanny can also take the children to clubs, possibly by cargo bike or car. At the family's request, we select a Nanny with cargo bike experience or a driver's license and a lot of driving experience.
The Nanny uses the family's cargo bike and/or car. The Nannies will be sensible and careful with use, but lending is at the risk of the parents.
Yes, the Nanny is happy to help. This means that she can do the shopping, cook, fold laundry and she ensures that the house is tidy at the end of the day. During the intake interview we would like to discuss with you what additional tasks the Nanny can take on, so that the Nanny knows what is expected of her. Of course, caring for the children always comes first.
