Back-Up Child Care


The Nanny Network offers an in-home back-up child care service to support busy parents in the Baltimore, Washington, DC and New Orleans metropolitan areas when they find themselves in a pinch, typically, when:

  • Your regular caregiver is sick or otherwise unavailable
  • Your child(ren)’s day care or school is closed for vacations, holidays, parent-teacher conferences, professional development days, etc.

Our sitters are also available to care for your child(ren) for:

  • A date night
  • Special events (weddings, conferences, special events)

Our staff is available Monday-Friday from 7:00 am-9:00 pm, Saturdays from 9:00 am – 6:00 pm, and Sundays from 9:00-11:00 am and 4:00-9:00 pm. Requests for care can be made using our online book care form.

The Nanny Network can typically arrange for a caregiver to arrive at your home within an hour or two of receiving your request, however, we cannot guarantee placement. Generally, twenty-four hours advance notice is sufficient.
