*Special COVID-19 Notice* (updated 2/20/23)

White House Nannies is continually updating its staffing procedures as it relates to COVID-19 to help ensure the health and safety of the families, children, and caregivers we work with.

At this time we are resuming mildly ill care for children, as long as the child has been fever-free for at least 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medication. If there is a confirmed case of COVID in the household we are unable to staff a caregiver until we receive negative rapid tests from all members of the household. Our caregivers are following the same guidelines.

Our babysitters require signed authorization and explicit instructions from the parent(s) in order to administer medicine.

We appreciate our community’s commitment to keeping the children, caregivers, and families we work with safe during this time.
