A nanny search should not become your second job
Finding the right nanny should feel effortless. We connect families with experienced, CPR-certified nannies who provide attentive, dependable care tailored to your family's lifestyle, needs, and routine.
Whether you need full-time or consistent part-time care, we thoughtfully match you with a nanny you can trust for the long term.
How it Works
Submit A Request
Begin your placement experience by completing our family intake form. Once submitted, the $2,500 non-refundable search fee is due to begin your personalized caregiver search and matching process.
New Family Intake
We will then reach out to schedule a phone interview with you so we can get to know you a little better and to understand your childcare needs.
Placement Process
We'll begin searching for qualified nannies who meet your family's needs, then send you hand-selected candidates to interview so you can find the perfect fit.
Pricing
Our placement fee is a one-time investment in a personalized nanny search and includes candidate sourcing, professional background checks, comprehensive vetting, and full placement support.
​
The non-refundable fee is due upfront so we can begin your search promptly. The 12% annual income portion is a one-time fee and includes continued placement support throughout your nanny’s first two months of employment.
Our goal is to create lasting placements with exceptional caregivers who align with your family’s needs, values, and lifestyle.
​
Note: To support this goal, we focus on nanny positions that offer a consistent, sustainable schedule. As a result, we are unable to accommodate positions with split shifts (such as morning hours followed by after-school hours), short morning- or afternoon-only schedules, positions that offer fewer than 18 hours per week, one-day-per-week positions, or non-full-time summer care positions.
