Nanny FAQ’s

May I apply for a nanny placement if I live outside of the country?

No. World Class Nannies only represents nannies that are currently residing in Buenos Aires or other WCN locations. However, you may contact us 1 week prior to your arrival date and we will begin the application process at that time only.

What are the requirements to apply for representation?

Please view our requirements section.

What responsibilities and duties do the families I am placed with expect of me?

Your responsibilities depend on each family’s individual needs and your priority is the child’s well-being. If requested by a parent you may be asked to assist with homework, prepare dinner or other light household duties concerning the child.

What is the average length of commitment for a placement?

The average placement length is one year. However, we offer full-time, part-time, long-term and and temporary placements lasting 3 months or less. You may submit a placement request for any available position. If you meet all of the families’ requirements and we feel you are the perfect match we will send your profile to the family for review. The decision is ultimately up to the family.

Do I need to be bilingual if I am a native English Speaker?

Due to the high demand for English Mother Tongue (EMT) nannies, being a native English speaker alone is sufficient for some families. In fact, most families prefer their nannies not to speak the native language spoken in the home when teaching a second language, as it ensures a constant single dialogue between nanny and child.

Do I need to speak English and Spanish or are other languages accepted?

All languages are welcome! We receive families from all over the world requesting nannies that speak their native language and/ or a second language to either maintain the families’ mother tongue or teach as a second language to the child. Some of the most requested languages include English, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Chinese, Swedish and Portuguese.
