In today’s fast-paced world, many high-profile families require 24-hour childcare. Rotational (ROTA) nannies are the ideal solution for busy business executives, UHNW families and celebrities. Parents with demanding or unpredictable travel schedules often choose ROTA nannies for their unmatched flexibility. These nannies provide consistent, stable, and uninterrupted 24/7 coverage for the long term.
ROTA nannies typically work on a rotating schedule of 1 to 2 weeks, followed by an equal period of time off while another ROTA nanny steps in. The number of nannies and their schedule depends on the children’s ages and the family’s needs. For families with hectic schedules or unique care requirements at unusual hours, this flexibility is invaluable. ROTA nannies work as a team, ensuring consistent care while allowing each nanny to rest and recharge before returning to duty.
While ROTA nannies take on all the responsibilities of a top-tier nanny, their hours are extended. Though they sleep when the child does, they remain available for emergencies or late-night needs. Their duties include everything from childcare and discipline to carpools, homework help, and planning activities. ROTA nannies do not handle general housekeeping or cooking but are expected to be highly organized, flexible, and capable of taking full charge. They learn the dynamics of the family and ensure childcare aligns with the parents’ preferences.
Since ROTA nannies provide 24/7 care, they typically live in with the family, requiring private accommodations within the home.
