[Easemakers Podcast E90] Professionalizing childcare operations
Is your household's childcare team set up for success? In this episode of the Easemakers Podcast, private childcare management expert Dr. Virginia Schwager shares why nannies shouldn't operate in siloes — and how to build systems that help parents, children and staff thrive.

Dr. Virginia Schwager (Ginny) combines years of private childcare experience and a psychology background to help families improve their childcare operations.
In her time working in private households, she’s learned that childcare teams shouldn’t operate in siloes, but rather, should be integrated seamlessly with estate management teams.
In this episode of the Easemakers Podcast, Ginny shares her tips for estate managers on overseeing nannies and childcare professionals, improving retention, and bringing a higher level of professionalism and organization to childcare operations.
Tune in to hear:
- Why teams should shift the mindset from “managing the nannies” to “childcare operations management”

- How to keep parents, childcare providers and estate management teams on the same page
