Frequently Asked Questions What are some of the activities you provide for the children? I want each child to have fun with me and so in between dancing, playing games, arts and crafts, reading, singing and just having fun, each child will have the chance to choose an activity to play. I provide age appropriate books, toys, coloring/drawing, musical games, Knex, Lego, games for older children and creative play where each child makes special things to keep!
What if we are having a large event with lots of children? Don't worry! Although I am ALWAYS present at events, I have experienced nannies who will accompany me on large assignments. The ratio child per nanny is determined according to the age of children, to best ensure their safety and interaction.
Is there an age limit? There is no age limit. I am qualified with all age groups including infants.
What if the children attending the event are different ages?
I provide a variety of activities for infants, toddlers, pre-school, as well as school-aged children. And yes, I even have activities in which your pre-teens will enjoy.
What are the childcare ratios? Do you have 'helpers'? Safety is an absolute and my first priority. Generally, I follow a system but it is not absolute. If I feel that there is need for extra 'hands' to assist me in caring for children at an even or there is over 7-8 children of various ages, I will hire a core of professional nannies to assist. Infants (up to 12 months) - 1:1
Babies (12 to 24 months) - 1.5 to 2:1
Toddlers (2- to 4 years ) - 3:1
Pre-School (4 to 6 years) - 4 to 5:1
School Age (6 to 14 years) - 6 to 8:1
What if my event is in two separate places?
The Mitzvah Nanny (TMN) is a mobile service, so if your event moves, so can I. There is a nominal fee for change of venue and children will need to be signed out by their parent/guardian and transported to the new location.
| Frequently Asked Questions I am a guest at an event. Do I have to contact the host or hostess to hire your services? No, not only am I hired by party/event planners and families but I am also contacted by guests as well. You do not need to involve the host or hostess to use my services. I can care for your child at the guest hotel or in a separate room at the reception.
What if I want to hire you JUST as an extra set of hands for our event? No problem! Just be sure to make clear your needs and I can handle anything.
I am an event planner. How would I hire you for a client? Easy, I work with you and/or your client to provide quality care while your client's guests enjoy the event. Everything that I provide for a family or parent, I provide for event planners.
How often can I check on my child during the event?
I want you to feel comfortable with the care that your child is receiving. Parents are invited to check on their children as often as they like.
What types of security measures do you provide? I offer an extra safety measure of Child/Parent ID cards, wristbands and Check In/Check Out name tags. Registration is secure! I also offer the use of a walkie talkie system between myself and the event manager, parents or client.
Do you provide Babysitting and non-event childcare?
Yes! I am available for babysitting on Maui only. Please contact me for availability at info@mitzvahnanny.com
Do you carry liability insurance? The Mitzvah Nanny carries a liability insurance policy and is bonded and insured.
What type of attire do you wear for an event? I always dress accordingly to the event. General attire to most events and situations will be long pants or capri pants, long sleeved button down shirts or polo shirts and clean, comfortable shoes. All colors are neutral or black and am open to wearing specific attire requested by clients and event planners. |
