The real challenge

Finding a nanny is easy.
Choosing the right one isn't.

Most families start the same way — and hit the same wall.

"It's one of the few decisions where the cost of being wrong isn't just financial."

Most families start here:

  • Scrolling through profiles on listing sites, trying to narrow down dozens of strangers
  • Reading references that are almost always positive — because who submits a bad one?
  • Scheduling interviews with candidates who looked good on paper but didn't feel right
  • Trying to "trust their gut" with no framework for what to actually look for
  • Second-guessing every decision because the stakes feel too high to get it wrong

And hoping it works out.

Our approach

We don't give you options.
We guide you to the right decision.

  • Fewer candidates presented — because more isn't better, right is
  • Matches built around your family, your schedule, and your priorities — not an algorithm
  • A structured process that replaces guesswork with confidence
  • Support that continues after placement — not just until the check clears
RN-Informed Vetting & Screening
Healthcare-level thinking applied to every candidate. Comprehensive background checks, reference verification with structured questioning, and in-person assessment.
Thoughtful Matching — Not Profile Browsing
We learn your family first. Then we present a small number of highly aligned candidates — not a shortlist of 20 that you have to sort through yourself.
Ongoing Support After Placement
The relationship doesn't end at hire. We provide guidance through onboarding, and we're available if questions come up in the first weeks and months.
Designed to Reduce Risk
Every element of our process — from initial screening to final placement — is designed to reduce the risk of a wrong fit, not create more decisions for you to make.

Who this is for

Families who want to get it right

Not designed for quick hires. Designed for the right one.

👶
Infant & Newborn Care
Families welcoming a new baby who need a caregiver with genuine infant experience — not someone learning on the job in your home.
📅
Full-Time or Part-Time Placement
Working parents who need consistent, scheduled care — whether that's 3 days a week or 5, mornings only or full days.
🏠
Long-Term Household Support
Families who want a nanny who becomes part of the household — not a revolving door of new faces every few months.
🏫
Transitioning from Daycare
Parents moving to in-home care for the first time who aren't sure what to look for, what to ask, or what a good match actually looks like.
⚕️
Medically Complex or High-Acuity Needs
Our RN-led background is a particular advantage for families whose children have medical complexity, developmental needs, or require higher-acuity care.
🤝
Parents Who Don't Want to Do This Alone
Anyone who's started searching, gotten overwhelmed, and realized they'd rather have someone guiding the process than manage it themselves.
Not designed for quick hires — designed for the right one.

The placement process

A structured process for a high-stakes decision

You're not navigating this alone.

1
Consultation
We start by understanding your family — schedule, priorities, child's needs, household dynamics, and what "the right fit" actually means for you.
2
Search & Vetting
We identify and screen qualified candidates using our RN-informed vetting process. Comprehensive background checks, structured reference calls, in-person assessment.
3
Curated Matches
You meet a small number of highly aligned candidates — not a long list to sort through. Each one is presented with our full assessment and reasoning.
4
Placement & Support
We guide you through the offer, onboarding, and first weeks. The relationship doesn't end at hire — we're available as the placement settles in.

From first conversation to first day — you're guided, not left to figure it out.

Investment

A one-time placement fee — positioned around success

15%
of annual
compensation

An investment in getting the right person — and avoiding the cost of starting over.

Most placements range between $5,250–$12,000 depending on role, hours, and compensation level. We confirm the fee clearly before the search begins — no surprises.

We succeed when your placement works — not when we send candidates. Our incentive is a right fit, not a fast one.

Built-In Protection
We stand behind every placement
  • Thorough vetting process before any candidate is presented to you
  • Selective presentation — only strong-fit candidates, not everyone available
  • Ongoing guidance during placement and early onboarding
  • Available for questions as your new caregiver settles in
🛡️
90-Day Replacement Guarantee If the placement doesn't work out within 90 days, we re-place at no additional fee.

Common questions

Answered honestly

How long does the process take?
Typically 2–6 weeks depending on the specificity of your needs, your schedule for interviews, and candidate availability. We'll give you a realistic timeline during the consultation — not a best-case number designed to close the sale.
Are we involved in choosing the nanny?
Completely. You meet, interview, and select from our curated candidates. We guide the process and share our assessment, but the decision is yours. We're not placing someone without your full buy-in.
What if the placement doesn't work out?
We offer a 90-day replacement guarantee. If the placement doesn't work within the first 90 days, we re-place at no additional fee. We're invested in the outcome, not just the transaction.
What makes this different from a listing site or app?
A listing site gives you access. We give you guidance. The vetting, the matching, the judgment calls about fit — that's what we do. You're not sorting through profiles alone; you're working with an agency that's accountable for getting it right.
What does "RN-led" actually mean for my search?
It means the standards we apply to caregivers come from healthcare-level thinking — not just "years of experience." Our screening looks at judgment, safety instincts, emergency preparedness, and child development knowledge in ways most agencies don't assess.
What if my needs are complex — infant care, medical needs, live-in?
These are situations where our background is particularly relevant. Our RN oversight makes us better equipped for medically complex or high-acuity placements than a generalist agency. Tell us your situation on the consultation call.
