What a nanny does for your home.
Nannies work with children of different ages, from toddlers to school-going kids. Consistency matters most to children, so we look at the candidate's childcare experience, temperament and comfort with your family's language.
Duties such as school drop-offs, park visits or meal preparation for children are agreed upfront. Safety rules for outings are set by you as parents.
Hiring a nanny: what to know.
What a nanny does
A nanny supports a young child's daily life: meals, play, outdoor time, getting ready for school or activities, homework routines and bedtime, following the rules parents set.
Choosing the arrangement
A full-time daytime nanny works 8, 9 or 10 hours and goes home. A live-in nanny lives with the family and helps early and late within agreed hours, with uninterrupted sleep. Plan how night waking is handled in advance.
Safety and communication
Agree who may collect the child, screen-time rules, outdoor boundaries and how updates are shared during the day. Health concerns are reported to parents immediately.
Fees and salary
Maidvy's Daytime Plan is ₹15,000 + 18% GST = ₹17,700, with up to 2 replacements during the active plan. Live-in nannies use the 24×7 Live-In Plan (₹25,000 + 18% GST = ₹29,500). The worker's monthly salary is separate from the agency fee. It is agreed directly between your family and the worker based on experience, duties, hours, city and mutual agreement, and is paid directly to the worker.
A typical day, as an example
Getting the child ready for school, packing tiffins, light tidying of the child's room, after-school snack, homework time, play or a park visit, dinner and bedtime routine, as agreed with parents.
Agreeing house rules
Screen time, food rules, outdoor boundaries, who may visit or collect the child, and how updates are shared during the day.
How hiring works
Share your requirement through Book Now, a callback or WhatsApp; confirm with the ₹5,900 booking advance (₹5,000 + GST), which is adjusted against your plan fee; review matched profiles verified as applicable; interview shortlisted candidates by audio or video; finalise and pay the balance as per the booking terms; then Maidvy coordinates joining, and a Relationship Manager supports you during the active plan. Deployment generally takes 2 to 15 working days and is not guaranteed.
Full-time nanny or live-in nanny
A daytime nanny suits families where at least one parent is home in the evening. A live-in nanny suits families with long work hours, frequent travel or early school starts. Both need clear house rules and a consistent routine.
Activities and learning
Share the kind of play you want: reading, drawing, outdoor games, music or simple learning activities. A nanny is not a tutor, but can support homework and keep the day engaging.
Pick-ups and outings
Agree who may collect your child, which parks or classes the nanny may take the child to, and how travel is arranged. Share school contacts and inform the school of authorised pick-ups.
Questions to ask a nanny
Ask about the ages of children she has cared for, how she handles tantrums, what activities she does on rainy days, how she manages homework time and screen time, and how she would respond to a fall or fever. Introduce your child and see how they interact.
Consistency between parents and nanny
Children do best when rules are consistent. Agree how discipline is handled (never physical), what treats are allowed and what to do if the child refuses meals. Review these as your child grows.
Total cost of a nanny
Plan for the agency plan fee (₹17,700 daytime or ₹29,500 live-in, incl. GST), the nanny's salary agreed with you, and for live-in care, meals and a private space.
