Originally, I tried to find a nanny on my own and it took me much, much longer and only half of them spoke English. I had to do my own background checks. Morningside Nannies made it much easier, faster and more efficient.

Our In-Room Hotel Services

Taking in the sights of a new city together is one of the primary reason why parents choose to vacation with their children, as a family. We understand, however, that even the most dedicated parents need a bit of grown-up time on their vacation, as well. That’s why we offer our in-room services to guests of the Lancaster Hotel, whether you simply need to slip away for the evening or will require the services of a temporary childcare provider for the duration of your stay. All of our nannies are diligently pre-screened and vetted through our comprehensive background checking service, which verifies past employment and experience, combs through public records for any arrests, convictions or moving violations and compares the identity of each applicant against the National Sex Offender Registry to ensure that you’ll be able to enjoy your time out with no worries about the safety, dependability or criminal history of the person caring for your children.
