A Note from Our Founder, Rebecca Dyk
It’s a familiar scenario for many parents: school’s out, routines are changing, and you’re trying to juggle work commitments, children’s activities, and travel plans. Summer can bring a unique set of childcare challenges, and finding the right caregiver requires more than simply filling gaps on a calendar.
After more than three decades helping families find exceptional childcare, I understand how important it is to have complete confidence in the person caring for your children.
That peace of mind is what guides every placement we make at A Nanny For U. We believe the best summer nanny placements are built on compatibility, trust, and a shared commitment to creating a positive experience for both children and parents.
Our summer nannies provide more than supervision. They bring structure to busy days, encourage meaningful activities, support children’s interests, and help families enjoy a smoother, more balanced summer with the right childcare support in place.

What does a summer nanny do?
A summer nanny helps children stay safe, engaged, and active while school is not in session. Depending on your family’s needs, responsibilities may include planning and supervising activities and outings, preparing meals and snacks, maintaining consistent routines, and providing dependable care while parents continue with work and other commitments.
What types of summer nanny care are available?
A Nanny For U matches families with summer nannies for both full-time and part-time childcare needs.

Are summer nannies screened and vetted?
Yes, we carefully screen every nanny candidate to help families feel confident in their childcare choice. This process includes in-depth interviews, criminal background checks, driving record reviews, and reference checks. All our nannies are CPR certified, non-smokers, and have reliable transportation.
Can a summer nanny help with camps, activities, and travel?
Yes. Many families hire summer nannies to provide support beyond everyday childcare, including helping children get to activities, attending camps, planning age-appropriate outings, and assisting with family travel plans. Your nanny’s responsibilities can be discussed during the matching process to ensure the arrangement fits your needs.
How far in advance should I look for a summer nanny?
It’s best to begin your search as early as possible, as summer is a popular time for families to seek additional childcare support. Starting early gives us more time to find a nanny who is the right fit for your family’s schedule, expectations, and summer plans.
How much does a summer nanny cost?
Summer nanny costs can vary depending on factors such as the schedule, responsibilities, and level of experience required. At your initial consultation, we can provide guidance on expected rates and placement fees based on your family’s specific childcare needs.
