Job Duties
MBF Nannies are screened, experienced professionals. Our nannies plan entertaining games and activities to stimulate a child’s learning, imagination, and development (we provide weekly curriculum to placed nannies).
The focus of the nanny is on the children, with duties relating specifically to their care (including children’s meals, laundry, and transportation), but also includes keeping the home tidy throughout the day (picking up toys, loading/unloading dishwasher, etc.). Job descriptions will note any additional household duties, such as organizing, homework support, errands (e.g., grocery shopping), and/or preparing meals. Read more about what it looks like to be a modern Nanny. Family Assistant positions are typically for school-age children and have heavier household duties.

If you pass our screening process, we can then send your profile to hiring families. Those families let Mom’s Best Friend know who they choose to interview.
Trial time
Families and candidates use this time to make sure that you are both completely certain of the match.
