Ongoing care as your children grow
A nanny becomes part of your children’s everyday life: the routines, the meals, the school runs, the play and the quiet moments. Where a Newborn Care Specialist focuses on the first weeks and months, a nanny provides consistent care through the years that follow — and grows with your family.
What a nanny does
Every family is different, and we confirm the role with you before presenting candidates. A nanny’s day often includes:
- Caring for your children and keeping them safe, engaged and on routine
- Age-appropriate play, reading, learning and outings
- Preparing children’s meals and snacks
- School drop-offs, pick-ups and activities
- Children’s laundry and keeping play areas and bedrooms tidy
- Keeping parents updated on the day
Finding the right fit
The right nanny is about more than experience. During your consultation we learn about your children, your parenting approach, your home and your schedule — hours, days, and whether you are considering live-in or live-out care. We then present nannies who match, and you interview the candidates you are considering.
- Background checked
- Referenced
- Interviewed in person
Every candidate, carefully vetted
Each nanny we present is background checked, referenced and interviewed in person, and selected for warmth and integrity as much as for qualifications. Learn more about how placement works.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a Newborn Care Specialist and a night nanny?
A Newborn Care Specialist focuses entirely on newborns: feeding support, healthy sleep foundations, newborn routines and guidance for parents during the first weeks and months. “Night nanny” is a broader term for anyone who cares for children overnight, and the experience behind it varies widely. If you want specialized support in the newborn stage, a Newborn Care Specialist is the right choice.
What is the difference between a nanny and a babysitter?
A nanny provides ongoing childcare on a regular schedule and becomes part of your children’s routine as they grow. A babysitter covers flexible or occasional care — an evening out, a gap in the week or an extra pair of hands.
How does the placement fee work?
Members pay their annual membership and an 8% placement fee on each hire, where a traditional agency typically charges an initiation fee plus 25%. For individual services outside a membership, we explain the fees during your consultation, before any search begins.
What happens if the caregiver is not the right fit?
Tell us as soon as you can. We will talk through what is not working and what you need instead, and support you in finding a better match under the terms of your service or membership. Members have 24/7 support throughout the year.
