How It Works
We learn about your family! In our initial conversation, we will learn your weekly schedule, the job responsibilities you need met, childcare philosophies and professional and personal traits you'd like to see in your nanny. Based off that criteria, we personal match you with nannies who will be suitable for your needs. We will email you the matches from our candidates who have passed vigorous vetting process for your consideration. From there we will schedule your interview in your home or favorite local spot. After the interview we will follow up with both the family and the nanny for confidential feedback! Once you've picked your nanny and are ready to move forward with the hiring process we will help you with any questions along the way. After your nanny has been placed, we are still in your corner and here when you need us. We love updates on our placements and will be here if you need a back-up or date night babysitter!
