Our company was founded by owner Cathy Adkins in Barbousville, WV almost six years ago.  Cathy and her husband came to Myrtle Beach on vacation with their four children and wanted a childfree evening out.  They were unable to find suitable childcare, and that is when Cathy decided to start her service placing qualified nannies in the homes and hotels in Myrtle Beach.  She has since grown the company by contracting with the military for their events.  We work with Ft. Bragg, Ft. Gordon, and Ft. Jackson with their Strong Bonds Marriage Retreats.  We work with Ft. Dobbbins AFB and Charleston AFB with their Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Projects [YRRP].  We also work in Fayetteville and on Ft. Bragg for couples nights out and dinners for the spouses of the deployed.  We travel anywhere we are needed.  In the past we have been to Kissimmee, Fl., Hilton Head, Wilmington, Asheville, Charlotte, Williamsburg, Hampton and Chattanooga.  We have nannies in various cities along the East Coast.

We work closely with the chaplain in order  to gaurantee a successful event.  We can help with the planning and make suggestions on which hotel may best suit your needs.  Whether your event is very large or very small we will gaurantee the same high quality that is associated with our name.  All of our nannies must have a minimum of five years experience in childcare, pass an extensive background check and drug test,  be CPR/First Aid certified, they are bonded and insured. 

While your children are in the care of our qualified nannies, they will be supervised in a variety of activities.  We will have stations set up with bead art, sand art, crafts, puzzles, games, and face painting.  We offer a fun time for older children as well.  They can be taken to the pool as all of our staff is CPR/First Aid certified.  We have portable horseshoes, bean bag toss, shuffle board, card and board games.  We encourage children to do talent shows and share their individual talents with us and the other children.  They often surprise both the nannies and parents with their enthusiasm in song and dance, as well as card tricks and magic.   It is with our pleasure that so many children cannot wait to return to the childcare room the second day of an event!

Please feel free to pass this information along to other chaplains. We hope that you will consider Nanny In A Pinch for your next event.
