Rotational (ROTA) Nannies
Do you lead an ever-evolving on-the-go lifestyle that’s more demanding than most? Are you looking for the highest level of care and consistency for your family? Does full-time care provided by one caregiver simply not cover the scope of flexibility that your family requires? A rotational, or ROTA, nanny might be the perfect option for you!
A ROTA nanny is a nanny who works as a part of a team of caregivers in a rotational schedule, such as one week on, one week off. As the leading experts in placing ROTA nannies, Westside Nannies creates top-quality, best-in-the-industry ROTA teams for families every single day. The go-to agency for families and ROTA nannies alike, our team has a reputation for being the best in the business and has a client list that spans heads of state, Forbes Top 10, Silicon Valley CEOs, Grammy award-winning artists, and A-list celebrities. ROTA nannies allow parents the peace of mind that comes with knowing they have consistent care for their children, no matter how busy life gets. With a team of ROTA nannies, your family is never without the exceptional care that they so deserve.
Duties
A ROTA nanny’s duties include all-things childcare and everything pertaining to the child’s well-being. Because of the nature of a ROTA schedule, travel is often included in a ROTA nanny’s duties, making this a particularly great option for families on the go. In addition to taking on all the duties of a full-time nanny, one of the key benefits of hiring a ROTA nanny is the specialized care they can provide. Highly sought-after ROTA nannies often have backgrounds in child development, child psychology, teaching, RIE, positive discipline, or Montessori.
Schedules
Though the schedule and structure of a ROTA schedule can (and should!) be tailored to your family’s needs, ROTA nannies are typically part of a team of two nannies who work on a rotating schedule in 24-hour shifts. A popular ROTA schedule can look like one nanny working for one week in 24-hour shifts, followed by one week off, at which point the second nanny would work for one week in 24-hour shifts, and so on and so forth.
Rates
Our placement counselors will work closely with you to develop a competitive compensation package based upon your family’s needs. Rates for ROTA nannies vary greatly based on the nanny’s experience, education, and areas of expertise. Other factors for ROTA positions include schedule, duties, and the level of travel and flexibility required in the role. Current rates for ROTA nannies are between $30-50 per hour. In addition to their wages, most ROTA nannies receive the following benefits: two weeks’ paid vacation, paid holidays/sick days, and a health insurance stipend.

Passion
For our nannies, childcare isn’t just a “job” - it’s a labor of love. Most of our candidates began their careers as neighborhood babysitters and camp counselors in high-school, pre-school teachers or part-time nannies in college, and are now professional nannies. Our nannies love their jobs, and we think that’s pretty cool.

Character
We believe that a nanny’s moral and ethical character is just as important as what’s on her resume. Nannies are more than just caregivers - they are mentors and role models, and a direct reflection of your family’s values. We place an emphasis on recruiting candidates who display character traits such as loyalty, dependability, honesty, and respect.
