WMN Policies
- Families and clients must be registered and onboarded prior to nanny services beginning, which includes having a current Family Intake Questionnaire and Client Agreement on file. The registration process typically requires a minimum 24-hour notice.
- We require a three-hour minimum for all of our services. Less time can be accommodated but will be billed at minimum.
- Services are subject to special rates and fees based on service type, individualized needs, and nanny responsibilities. Nights, weekends, holidays, short-length shifts, and last-minute care qualify for premium rates.
- Rates are subject to change. Nanny raises are considered and negotiated as appropriate.
- Care provided under our all-inclusive nanny services is subject to our non-compete. If you prefer to hire, pay and manage your nanny at your own discretion, we have placement-only services available.
- West Michigan Nannies requests that clients and nannies notify management immediately if their needs change that might result in cancellation of care, rescheduling, or ceased services as a common courtesy for all and to allow for alternate arrangements as necessary.
- Care may only be provided for children as named in Client Agreement. Parents or legal guardians must be registered with West Michigan Nannies prior to care commencing.
