"After interviewing several agencies that specialize in estate staffing for one of our clients, we chose Heartland. They responded quickly to our needs and understood the issues. They took on a challenging assignment with professionalism and a sense of humor. Both good traits. We maneuvered some bumps in the road as partners and successfully placed a wonderful Estate Manager with our client. We look forward to an opportunity to work with Betsy and her team again."

Hire a Nanny
Find a Qualified Nanny for Your Family
As a parent, you’re most comfortable when your own watchful eye is on your children, but that isn’t always possible. Thankfully, a qualified nanny offers a safe, secure, loving alternative. At Heartland Estate Staffing, we make the task of finding a nanny easier by providing access to professional nannies who are carefully vetted and qualified to meet your specific needs. Whether you’re looking for a full-time and live-in or part-time nanny, our experienced placement services are here to help you hire a nanny.
Heartland originally began in 1984 as a nanny placement agency, built on the most stringent screening process in the industry. These same standards hold true today. We pride ourselves on making the right placement the first time, and understand that your nanny may well become a part of your family, caring for your children until they are well-adjusted adolescents who no longer need close supervision.
Role & Responsibilities of a Nanny
Nannies provide comprehensive child care for children of any age, often going beyond basic babysitting duties to support the overall development and well-being of your children.
Our nannies typically perform a variety of the following tasks:
- Provide a nurturing and safe environment for your child (our nannies are willing to renew or become certified in CPR and first-aid)
- Prepare healthy meals and nutritious meals and snacks
- Organize and sanitize toys and play areas
- Research and enroll children in camps and other extracurricular activities
- Report directly to parents and always follow their discipline guidelines
- Provide safe transportation to/from school and other activities
- Provide age-appropriate education and homework assistance
- Coordinate play-dates and other social activities

- Take children to the park, library, swimming, bicycling, and other activities
- Accompany children to sporting events and practices
- Keep children active with healthy outdoor activities
- Bathe children and teach them proper personal hygiene habits
- Work with children to master basic motor skills
- Teach children proper manners and behavior
- Organize and coordinate children’s birthday parties and purchase presents
- Wash and care for children’s clothing

Qualities to Look For in a Nanny
When hiring a nanny, it’s essential to look for qualities that align with your family’s needs and values. A great nanny should be:
- Reliable and punctual.
- Warm, compassionate, and patient.
- Skilled in communication and problem-solving.
- Experienced in child care and developmental milestones.
- Flexible to adapt to your family’s schedule.
Why Hire a Nanny?
Hiring a nanny offers several advantages for busy families. A nanny provides personalized care tailored to your children’s needs, giving parents peace of mind and flexibility to complete other tasks. Unlike daycare centers, nannies offer personal, one-on-one attention in the comfort of your own home, allowing children to thrive in a familiar environment. Additionally, professional nannies can help with household management tasks, ensuring a smooth-running household. Your children can also develop more personal connections with a long-term nanny versus a babysitter or a daycare provider.

What qualifications should a nanny have?
A qualified nanny should have extensive experience in child care and a clean background check. Additionally, our nannies are willing to obtain or renew certifications in first aid and CPR. Other qualifications may include education in early childhood development and strong references from previous households.
What is the difference between a nanny and a babysitter?
While both provide child care in a personalized manner, a nanny typically offers long-term, full-time or part-time support and may take on additional responsibilities such as household management. Babysitters are usually hired for short-term or occasional care, often without the same level of professional experience.
