Washington DC Rota Nanny

Your family’s beloved nanny has booked a two-week getaway. Of course, you’re excited for her and can’t wait to see her vacation photos! You’re also secretly in knots, wondering who will care for your children while she’s away.

You’ll never have to worry about gaps in childcare coverage when you add a ROTA nanny to your household.

As the name suggests, “ROTA” is short for “rotational.” ROTA nannies work in scheduled shifts, most commonly 7 days on and 7 days off or 14 days on and 14 days off, providing seamless, live-in care while they’re on duty. They’re typically part of a small team that rotates responsibility to ensure consistent, around-the-clock nanny care for your family.

A ROTA nanny is an ideal fit for busy households that need continuous and consistent childcare. Whether you're managing multiple children, frequent travel, or simply want to ensure uninterrupted care, a ROTA nanny offers structure, dependability, and a strong understanding of your family’s rhythms and routines.

During their scheduled time on, your ROTA nanny is live-in and dedicated, providing attentive, loving care to your child(ren) when they need it.

Many ROTA nannies are also experienced travelers and are ready to accompany your family on trips, offering consistency and peace of mind wherever life takes you.

This style of support brings ease and reassurance to daily life, especially when reliability, flexibility, and trust are top priorities.

Sommet in Washington DC

After running successful agencies in both Boston and Chicago for over seven years, we were delighted to expand our services to Washington DC in 2022.

Washington DC is unlike any other city in the USA. The seat of our federal government, the deep history that comes with it, and all the organizations that power government, make it an extraordinarily rich and diverse cultural location. Mix that with the geographical location on the East Coast, with quick access to Maryland, Virginia, the whole of the East Coast, as well as a short hop over to Europe, and you have a true melting pot of ideas and intellect.
