Three Ways Families Book a Nanny
Tell us the hours and the ages, and we will tell you which of these fits. Families often start with one and move to another as their schedule changes.
How hiring works
Who Employs Your Nanny
Nearly every family around here hires their nanny themselves, and it is the arrangement we recommend. We run the search, the screening, and the training, and the nanny you choose works for your household. A family who wants us to hold the employment instead can ask, and a few do.

How a full-time role is filled
Hired for Your Family
A caregiver who already has a placement cannot take a new full-time job, so we do not try to move one.
The hours, the ages, the driving, the things a caregiver needs to know about your household.
Candidates go through our full screening: interview, references, background checks, and training, before you meet anyone.
You make the offer and agree the terms with her. If you would rather we held the employment instead, tell us and we will price that option.
Questions
Nanny Questions Families Ask
The four that come up on almost every first call.
Yes, in nearly every nanny placement we make, and it is the arrangement most families here prefer. We write the role with you, advertise it, screen every candidate, and train them, then you hire the nanny you choose and she works for your household. A family who wants us to hold the employment instead, so payroll, taxes, and insurance sit with us, can ask for that, and a few do. It carries a significantly higher hourly rate. Sitters, backup childcare, and event caregivers are always our employees.
Every applicant is interviewed, then we speak to their references, then background checks run, and training finishes before a caregiver appears on your shortlist. Interviews happen in person or by video depending on where you and the caregiver are.
A nanny is the premium childcare option and the most expensive one, because it is a single caregiver giving your children undivided attention in your own home on your own schedule. Rates depend on the hours, the number of children, and whether the role is full-time, part-time, or occasional. Tell us what you need and we will give you the figure for that arrangement. There is no charge for asking.
A sitter or backup care can be arranged quickly, because those caregivers are screened, trained, and on our team already. A nanny search is different: we advertise and recruit for your household rather than booking someone from a pool, so plan on four to six weeks.
