Event Childcare:

Metropolitan Nannies will provide the highest quality childcare for your event, tailoring activities and services to your specific needs based on the number and ages of children.

Nanny Ratios:

When determining the number of caregivers needed for your event, keep in mind the following ratios which, while not absolute, are helpful in the initial planning process

Infants/Babies (up to 18 months) 1:1 to 2:1
Toddlers (up to 3 years) 3:1
Pre-School (up to 5 years) 4 to 5:1
School Age (up to 14 years) 6 to 8:1

Childcare Event Fees:
We offer two payment models for events. Metropolitan Nannies will employ and pay the nannies on your behalf (3% Credit Card fee applies) or the client/corporation employs and pays the nanny for the event. In order to properly staff an event, we require a final head-count two weeks prior to the event. At that time, the number of caregivers will be determined and booked. Additional children added after that date will be considered only if the ratio between caregivers and children can be safely maintained.

Nannies:

• $20/hour per Nanny. (four hour minimum)
• $30/hour per Event Nanny Manager. (For events requiring more than 3 nannies, a manager will be assigned. Four hour minimum)
• Toys/Games Provided Fee: $150-$400 (flat fee for providing age-appropriate games, books, toys, coloring books, creative play and a craft. Includes delivery, set-up and clean up)

Agency Fee:

• Daily/Evening Placement fee: $40 per nanny per day*
  *This fee applies to all Hotel, Non-Residential, and Event Placements. There is an additional $10 fee for placements on Holidays.

Please Note: Temporary fees are charged when the nanny referral is made, and are not refundable if event is cancelled. the non-refundable agency fee is required to hold the date. Rates can vary depending on the size of the groups and situation.
