Special Needs Nannies
All children are special, but some have needs that require caregivers with special experience, training, or backgrounds to be sure the childcare they receive is the best possible. Special Needs Nannies vary widely based on the specific needs of your child. They are nannies that meet all of CPN’s rigorous standards for nannies, while offering unique expertise such as previous work and training with autistic children, physical therapy backgrounds, nursing experience, speech therapy, and others. As with any of our placements, your family’s personality and very specific needs guide the placement process and ultimately the final candidate who becomes a new member of your household. We provide candidates for Special Needs Nannies based on the experience, training, or background that meets the specific needs of your child.
