At Los Angeles Nannies, we recognize that a harmonious relationship between families and nannies is built on mutual respect, clear communication, and shared expectations. To foster such relationships, we’ve developed the Honest House Promise—a set of guidelines that families commit to, ensuring a supportive and professional environment for both caregivers and the children they nurture.

Commitment to Professional Compensation

We advocate for a minimum hourly wage of $30 for our nannies. This rate reflects their professional dedication, extensive experience, and specialized education in child development. By offering fair compensation, families acknowledge the invaluable role nannies play in their children’s lives and promote a culture of respect and appreciation.

Ensuring a Fair, Respectful, and Safe Environment

Creating a workplace that is both safe and respectful is paramount. We expect families to cultivate an atmosphere where nannies feel valued and secure. This includes clear communication, understanding boundaries, and fostering an inclusive environment that recognizes the nanny’s professional contributions.

Providing Consistent and Sufficient Hours

To support the livelihoods of our nannies, we require families to offer a minimum of 30 hours per week. This consistency allows nannies to plan their schedules effectively and ensures they can dedicate their focus to providing exceptional care. Stable employment terms benefit both the caregiver and the family, leading to more engaged and committed service.

Adherence to Legal Employment Practices

Legal compliance in employment practices protects both families and nannies. We mandate that all nannies be paid through a legitimate payroll system, adhering to state and federal laws. This approach safeguards against potential legal complications and affirms the professional status of nannies. To facilitate this process, we partner with Homework Solutions, a domestic payroll service specializing in household employment.

Guaranteeing Hours and Providing a Consistent Schedule

Reliability is crucial in the employer-employee relationship. Families are expected to honor the agreed-upon schedule and provide guaranteed hours, even during periods when the nanny’s services may not be needed, such as family vacations. This assurance enables nannies to maintain financial stability and demonstrates the family’s commitment to a fair and dependable working relationship.

The Honest House Promise is more than a set of guidelines; it’s a reflection of our dedication to creating sustainable, respectful, and professional environments where nannies can thrive. By upholding these principles, we attract top-tier childcare professionals in Southern California, ensuring that families receive the highest standard of care for their children.
