For families maintaining active international lifestyles, multiple residences, and exceptionally high standards of privacy, a rota nanny represents the gold standard of in-home care.
At The Natural Nanny Collective, we specialize in placing elite rota nannies — professionals trusted by prominent families across Fisher Island and beyond.
What is a Rota Nanny?
A rota nanny (short for "rotational nanny") is a full-time childcare professional who works a structured "on/off" schedule — such as one week on, one week off, or two weeks on, two weeks off — providing seamless, around-the-clock care during their working rotation.
Families typically engage two rota nannies who alternate shifts, ensuring that children receive continuous, stable, and exceptionally high-quality care 365 days a year.
During "on" weeks, rota nannies live in as needed, manage every aspect of the children's day-to-day needs, and travel with the family when required — all while upholding the highest standards of discretion, flexibility, and professionalism.
Why Fisher Island Families Prefer Rota Nannies

Complete flexibility to travel domestically and internationally

Stability for children across multiple homes, schools, and environments
A seamless extension of family values and standards
In an environment where privacy, trust, and excellence are non-negotiable, rota nannies offer the level of service that discerning Fisher Island families expect.
