Rota nanny agency insights - Useful tips from our Consultants
Traditional full-time nannies working 50-hour weeks without long breaks can find it hard to be at their best every day. Ellie Littlechild, one of our recruiters who previously worked as a nanny, described her own situation when she was looking after children:
“The days were 14 hours every day. Travel was four months of the year. I was exhausted all the time. After a while, I just wanted to be with my family more.”
Rota schedules solve this. Two nannies rotating every two weeks can stay longer, may perform better, and because they are well rested can give your children more thoughtful care.
Cost: $160,000 - $240,000 Annually
What is a Rota Nanny?
A rota nanny works on a rotation with one to two weeks on, and one to two weeks off, sharing the role with a second nanny.
During their two weeks on, they are always available, often living in and covering long days including travel and evenings.
During their two weeks off, they rest completely.
Our recruiters carry out 90-minute interviews testing whether candidates will be able to work well in a rotation nanny role with the travel schedules, and the sheer hard work of working two weeks straight.
Reference checking former rota nanny roles
We call former employers and ask open-ended questions. Instead of “Did she care for your children well?”, we ask: “Can you describe her daily routine with the children?” This shows skills candidates haven’t thought about putting in their resume or telling us about before.
During one reference check, one of our recruiters called a family to verify a nanny’s experience. The employer explained the candidate managed travel arrangements for the family, coordinated with tutors, and supervised household staff, far beyond childcare.
The candidate didn’t realize she’d been performing house manager duties.
Testing rotation compatibility
We ask candidates: “Your rotation partner handles bedtime differently than you. The children are confused. What do you do?” The wrong answer: “I’d correct the other nanny’s approach.” The right answer would be:
“I’d talk about it it privately with my partner and work on building a consistent routine for the children.”
Assessing discretion with children
Our co-founder Laurine Mallet explained: “Real discretion is keeping everything to yourself, don’t repeat, don’t overtalk, don’t overreact. It’s control over your mouth, your body language, everything.”
We test this with scenarios: “You’re at the playground on your day off. Another nanny asks about the family’s travel schedule. What do you say?” The right answer: to this would be something like “I keep family schedules private.”
Privacy is crucial to all our rota nanny placements.
Verifying childcare experience
We ask candidates to talk us through a typical day.
How do they handle tantrums in public? What activities do they plan for a rainy afternoon? How do they coordinate with parents about discipline?
Vague answers aren’t the best, it’s clear to see when someone really knows what they’re talking about.
Detailed, thoughtful answers show real experience.
How we find candidates
other Rota Nanny agencies can’t
Nanny roles rank as one of the three hardest positions to fill globally.
Founders who worked
as household staff
Morgan Richez was a butler and chauffeur for UHNW families in London. Laurine Mallet worked as a nanny. They built Morgan & Mallet in 2015 from the staff side, understanding what makes a placement succeed.
200,000+ registered
candidates
For every four applications we receive, one candidate makes it through to registered status. Our database spans eight offices: New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Palm Beach, London, Paris, Geneva, and Dubai.
Custom ATS built
for household roles
Standard platforms can’t filter nannies in the database for everything we can like live-in availability, pet allergies, or rotation schedules.
We built our own system to capture what matters for household staffing. Our system captures what matters.
When you tell us you want to hire a rota nanny comfortable traveling to Aspen in winter and the Hamptons in summer, we filter for candidates who’ve already done that or similar.
Quality control by
former Google recruiter
Eric Rios, who previously recruited software engineers at Google, audits every candidate profile monthly, checking that folders contain all information, references contacted, criminal records completed, certifications uploaded.
Rota Nannies Recruitment for
Families with Multiple
Properties
Our co-founder Morgan Richez tells rota nanny candidates during interviews that in this job: “You can’t plan anything for the next weekend during your two weeks on because maybe you’re going to be traveling. Your private life during those two weeks is not easy.”
This honesty upfront stops problems later. Candidates who accept rota positions understand the intensity and the built-in recovery time.
Laurine noted post-COVID Hamptons challenges: “Fewer candidates want short-term contracts now. Since COVID, this has driven salaries up significantly.
Staff work from early morning until late at night during busy summer months when families are hosting guests.”
Rota structures solve this. Candidates accept demanding schedules because their two-week break is guaranteed.
Rota Nanny Salaries
Nanny roles rank as one of the three hardest positions to fill globally.
Two nannies, rotating
$160,000 – $240,000 annually (combined salary for both)
This breaks down to $80,000 – $120,000 per nanny.
Compare this to traditional full-time nannies earning $90,000+, who typically leave within two years.
Here’s the three-year cost comparison:
Traditional nanny
Year 1: $95,000 + $20,000 recruitment fee = $115,000
Year 2: $95,000 (maybe nanny leaves)
Replacement recruitment: $20,000
Year 3: $95,000 for new nanny
Total: $325,000
(plus disruption to your children’s routines)
Rota nannies
Year 1-3: $200,000 annually x 3 years = $600,000
Recruitment fee (one-time, covers both nannies): $40,000
Total: $640,000
Rota nannies cost more per year. But there’s probably more chance of your children getting consistent care over time.
And 91% of our New York nanny clients return for more staff within 18 months. First placements are rarely the last.
What Happens
After Placement
We check in at 10 days, then every two weeks for the first three months, to see how everything is going.
