Temporary Placements

NWNannies has been meeting the temporary childcare needs of the Portland metro area for 31 years, and we expanded to Seattle in 2017. Our thousands of satisfied families are a great source of pride to us. NWNannies is a referral service for families needing temporary childcare. A Temp Nanny may work as few as four hours, or as much as full time for three months.  Temp Nannies are the employees of the family they work for. A NWNannies Temp Nanny is:

  • Loving and compassionate and “there” for your family
  • Expected to provide enriching experiences for children
  • Proven to have positive experiences with young children, verified by checked references
  • An individual of high integrity, verified by checked references
  • Trained in CPR and First Aid and always prepared for the unexpected
