At Superstar Nannies, we specialise in providing experienced rota nannies for busy households and high-profile families across New York. A rota nanny offers full-time, structured childcare through alternating shifts, ensuring your children receive continuous care from familiar and trusted professionals. Whether you’re based in Manhattan, Brooklyn or the Hamptons, and whether you’re a VIP family or parents balancing demanding schedules, our rota nanny agency delivers exceptional consistency, discretion and peace of mind for every family we represent.
For families whose lives do not pause at six in the evening, one nanny is rarely enough. Superstar Nannies places discreet, highly experienced rota nannies with private households across New York, NY, giving your children continuous, nurturing care whether you are on the Upper East Side, in the Hamptons, or flying between Manhattan, London and Palm Beach.
We work exclusively with high-net-worth families, family offices, and private households. Every nanny we introduce is a career nanny with an exceptional track record, a strong understanding of child development and the poise to be a trusted presence in your home. Discretion is not a feature of our service; it is its foundation.
A rota nanny is one half of a two-person nanny team sharing a single role. One nanny is on duty while the other rests, with a structured handover at each changeover, so your family receives 24/7 care with no gaps.
Common patterns include one week on and one week off, or two weeks on and two weeks off, and we will help you choose the schedule that suits your children’s ages, your travel calendar and the rhythm of your household.
Rotational childcare has long been the standard for royal and high-profile households in the UK, and it is increasingly the choice of families in New York, NY, whose careers, travel and multiple residences make a traditional live-in or daily arrangement hard to sustain.
Families choose rota nannies because they provide continuous care without disruption. For busy households, this model offers reliability and flexibility, ensuring children always have familiar support, whether parents are working late, travelling, or attending events.
A rota nanny is particularly beneficial for:
High-profile families seeking confidentiality and stability.
Families with unpredictable travel plans or long hours.
Parents who want a consistent caregiver without live-in, full-time nanny overlap.
Homes requiring staff with professional childcare qualifications or paediatric first aid certification.
Young children thrive on consistency. With a rota team, your children know and trust both nannies and follow the same age-appropriate routines, regardless of which caregiver is on duty. For infants and toddlers, that stability supports healthy attachment and steady progress through developmental milestones.
Rota nannies also prevent caregiver burnout. Because each nanny enjoys extended rest between shifts, they return energised and fully present, whether that means a newborn feed at three in the morning or a lively four-year-old on a transatlantic flight. And for high-profile families, a small, stable team limits the number of people who have access to your home, your children, and your private information.
A rota team supports engaged parents rather than replacing them, stepping forward when you are away and stepping back when you are home.
Every search begins with a confidential consultation, in person in New York or by video call. We discuss your children, your parenting philosophy, your residences and your travel, then create a detailed role profile covering the rota pattern, hours, travel, household support and the compensation and benefits package.
Not every nanny is suited to rota work, so we recruit for teamwork as carefully as for childcare skills. Fewer than 5% of applicants are considered for positions with our families. Every shortlisted candidate completes in-depth interviews, detailed reference checks, verification of qualifications and a thorough background check, and must be legally authorised to work in the US.
We then present a curated shortlist and arrange paid trial shifts, so you can see how each nanny connects with your children and how the two nannies work together. Once you have chosen your team, we guide you through clear employment agreements covering hours, pay, benefits and confidentiality, plan an overlap period so routines are agreed from the beginning, and stay in touch throughout the first months.
As a leading nanny agency specialising in high-end placements, we take great pride in representing only the most professional candidates. Our rota nanny agency works closely with families to ensure every placement meets the highest standards of trust, discretion, and childcare expertise.
When you hire through Superstar Nannies, you gain:
Access to the best rota nannies with verified references and DBS checks.
A dedicated consultant who manages every step of the recruitment process.
Flexible arrangements designed to match your family’s schedule and lifestyle.
Continuous support from our team before, during, and after placement.
Our commitment to excellence means every family receives a personalised service, delivered by professionals who truly care for their role in your household.
Your nanny’s responsibilities provide attentive care from the moment your children wake to the moment they fall asleep, and through the night, where overnight cover is part of the role.
Day-to-day, that means engaging in developmentally appropriate activities, naps and bedtimes, healthy meals, outings, school runs and homework support, all within one consistent plan shared by both nannies.
Our nannies hold current pediatric first aid and CPR certification, and they provide practical household support around the children, from the nursery and children’s laundry to supplies and wardrobes.
In larger homes, they work collaboratively with your housekeeper, chef, security team and household manager so the whole household runs as one.
For many New York families, travel defines the year: winters in Palm Beach, summers in the Hamptons or Europe, and frequent business trips in between.
Our rota nannies travel with the family domestically and internationally, managing time zones, long flights and new surroundings while keeping routines steady.
Handovers can be scheduled around flights, so your children receive the same attentive care on the last day of a long trip as on the first.
The ideal candidate is a career nanny with extensive childcare experience in private households, ideally including previous rota or travel positions.
A Bachelor’s degree or higher is strongly preferred, and many of our nannies are educated in early childhood education, nursing or teaching.
Above all, they are warm, calm under pressure, naturally discreet and generous team players who keep every handover meticulous.
Nanny positions in NYC typically pay $40 to $45+ per hour, and a full-time rota nanny position commonly offers over $100,000 annually.
Rota positions usually guarantee 40 hours per week, averaged across the cycle. Benefits often include health insurance assistance or a monthly health stipend, paid time off, paid holidays, sick days and travel expenses.
We advise every family on a competitive, compliant benefits package in accordance with New York employment law, because the right benefits are what keep an excellent team together for the long term.
We place rota nanny teams throughout Manhattan, including the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Tribeca, SoHo, the West Village and Central Park South, as well as in Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope, Westchester, Greenwich and the Hamptons. With offices in Mayfair, London and Palm Beach, Florida, we are ideally placed to support families whose lives span the Atlantic.
