FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you place a nanny in Mount Pleasant?
Most Mount Pleasant placements are completed within 2-3 weeks. The area’s strong family community means we maintain an active network of pre-vetted candidates familiar with local schools, beaches, and activities.
Do your nannies have experience with water safety?
Given Mount Pleasant’s proximity to Sullivan’s Island, Isle of Palms, and numerous waterfront communities, we prioritize candidates with water safety training, CPR certification, and comfort supervising children near water.
Can you find a nanny familiar with Mount Pleasant schools?
Absolutely. Our placed nannies are experienced with Wando High School, Moultrie Middle, Belle Hall Elementary, and private options like Palmetto Christian Academy. They handle carpool, homework help, and after-school activities seamlessly.
Do you place nannies for families who split time between Mount Pleasant and the beach?
Yes. Many East Cooper families have beach homes on Sullivan’s Island or Isle of Palms. We find nannies comfortable transitioning between locations and managing the logistics of a multi-home lifestyle.
What’s the typical schedule for a Mount Pleasant nanny?
Most families request full-time coverage (40-50 hours/week), typically 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM. After-school positions (2:30-6:30 PM) are also popular, especially for families with school-age children at Wando or Belle Hall.
Do you provide temporary or summer nannies?
Yes. Summer is our busiest season in Mount Pleasant as families need additional support for beach days, camp transportation, and vacation coverage. We maintain a roster of experienced seasonal candidates.
How do you vet candidates for Mount Pleasant families?
Every candidate undergoes our comprehensive 7-point screening: multi-state criminal records, sex offender registry, federal database check, driving record review, reference deep-dive, in-person interview, and skills assessment.
Can Dream Nannies help with a nanny share in our neighborhood?
We frequently facilitate nanny shares in Mount Pleasant communities like Park West, I’On, and Carolina Park where neighbors coordinate schedules. We help match compatible families and structure fair compensation arrangements.
