As a career professional, you understand the importance of finding the right family to work for. You know a healthy relationship with a family is paramount to success.

I found working with Stephanie and Risa to be a very smooth and streamlined process. They were always professional and ready to help in any way they could. I had great peace of mind knowing I had experienced people helping me vet potential candidates and they helped me hire a nanny who has been a great fit so far!

We’ve worked with Marie in the past and when we heard that she had started her own nanny agency, we reached out to her to help us with our search for a new nanny. Marie is just so good at what she does - she took the time to understand what we were looking for, was in constant communication with me over text, helped set up interviews and working trials with candidates and followed up promptly any time I had any questions. We worked with three different agencies for this search and Hello Nanny consistently sent us the best candidates. The new website is great too - so easy to see all your potential candidates and all their documentation in one place.

I very strongly recommend reaching out to Hello Nanny if you need a nanny!

Marie is truly a gem. She works so hard to listen to your family’s needs and knows the nannies better than any recruiter I’ve come across (and I’ve tried a handful!).

I contacted Hello, Nanny! in a bind for care. Our family needs were unique as I work in the hospital late nights and, often times, very early mornings. We were essentially looking for a unicorn.

We had the pleasure of working with Marie and Stephanie to find a professional and loving caregiver/family assistant for our busy family of four (and puppy!). We have worked with other agencies in the past and we found Hello, Nanny's process for on-boarding, clarity in pricing, qualification of candidates, timeliness of communication, and support in the hiring process to be superior to others. We could not be more pleased with our placement, and we would highly recommend this agency to others.

A superb nanny agency - Marie and Stephanie really care about trying to find the right fit for your family. They take the time to listen to your needs, and make sure any candidates sent to you for review are highly suitable. They do all the legwork as regards background checks and recommendations from previous employers, which is a major plus when you already have a million other things to take care of! I would high recommend them, they are super pleasant to deal with and are always accommodating! Thank you Marie and Stephanie!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Hello, Nanny!®  a nanny agency near me?

Hello, Nanny!® is as a nationwide placement agency serving all 50 states. We provide in home placements of newborn care specialists, professional educators, nannies, household manager, and family assistant

How long does it take to hire a nanny?

When working with a nanny placement agency, the placement process can span 1–8 weeks. This timeline may vary depending on the complexity of the position and prerequisites, including but not limited to:

  • The availability of qualified candidates in a given market.
  • Accessibility and availability to conduct interviews and working trials.
  • Other circumstances that may arise beyond our control.

We strive to ensure our placements check EVERY box and our families never feel like they are settling. The process takes time and patience on everyone’s part. Rest assured it is Hello, Nanny’s!® job and mission to identify the most qualified candidate for each family.

What makes Hello, Nanny!®  unique?

Hello, Nanny!® was founded by a mom boss and a placement specialist with fifteen years of experience as a career nanny. We understand the individual needs of professional nannies and families.

With both perspectives — alongside cutting-edge technology that provides families and career nannies with complete transparency and insight during their search — we are exceptionally skilled at placements that are long-lasting.

What if I need a nanny immediately?

If your family requires immediate assistance for care, Hello, Nanny!® is skillfully positioned to supply families with a wonderful temporary candidate. We offer a guarantee and peace of mind by matching your family with the most qualified career nanny.

As an added benefit to families, we take a proactive and assertive effort to reduce the time it takes to find your perfect match. For that very reason, Hello, Nanny!® maintains an extensive network of skilled and qualified candidates. We are constantly scouting and vetting potential candidates to join our Hello, Nanny!® network for your convenience.

What if my nanny needs time off for vacation or sick time?

One of the many benefits of being a client of Hello, Nanny!® is we’re a trusted partner with a network of pre-vetted professional nannies at all times. We are positioned to help our families fill in the gaps when their career nanny needs time off.

What if our nanny isn’t the right fit?

While we would all love for this process to be easy, it’s not. And finding the right career nanny for your family means sometimes going through a couple of placements.

Hello, Nanny!® helps families set up a working trial period which ranges between 2-7 days. This working trial gives families insight into whether they’re compatible with their placement.

Since we never want you to feel as though you’re settling, we work with you to find the right fit, even if that means repeating the process multiple times over.

Where to hire a nanny?

There are many options for families to choose from when sourcing a caregiver for their child. Some choose corporate daycare, or in-home daycares, and others opt for an in-home career nanny.

Searches most commonly take place on the web. Unfortunately, many online platforms allow anyone to build a caregiver profile with very little vetting or validity to profiles. The most secure place to search for a career nanny is through a nanny placement agency.

Nanny placement agencies do extensive research, interviewing, vetting, background checks, and personality checks to ensure families receive reliable professional nanny services. This eliminates the exhaustive process of sourcing hundreds of online profiles claiming to be professional nannies.

How to hire a nanny?

Hiring a nanny takes a lot of time and energy. Parents attempting the search on their own often end up with a revolving door of unreliable candidates. The sure way to hire a nanny is through an experienced nanny placement agency like Hello, Nanny!®.

We interview hundreds of candidates monthly. We continually add to our database of reliable, pre-vetted professional nannies that families rely on in the long term. Because of our expertise in the field, we realize each match is special and work to position career nannies and families for success.

How do you hire a nanny?

The process of hiring a nanny can take anywhere from 4 to 12 weeks. Identifying and screening applicants for interviews is the first stage. This includes running a background check, an MVR check, and a reference check on a potential career nanny before meeting them.

If the background check is successful, we then extend an offer for an in-person interview. A paid working trial is scheduled if the interview goes well. The initial few candidates might not be a good fit, so this process could take weeks. Other characteristics — including parenting style and attention to detail — might not match and may impact the timeline.

How to hire a good nanny?

Perception is different for every person. Family needs vary greatly. So, a good nanny for one family is not good for another.

An experienced career nanny has a work history with a family of at least 3 years or has worked in a formal daycare or school setting. A professional nanny may also have early childhood education or training.

They are forward thinkers. They need very little guidance or hand-holding. They have planned activities for children. Professional nannies communicate effectively with the parents. They are reliable, punctual, and able to help the household run smoothly. Each family has unique needs, so it’s always important to communicate to us what a “good” nanny looks like to your family.

How much does it cost to hire a nanny?

The hourly cost of a career nanny varies depending on a few factors. The market rate for professional nannies varies depending on where your family lives. How many children you have also factors into a nanny’s rates. Career nannies base their rates on your position demands as well as their experience, education, location, and value.

What are things to consider when hiring a nanny?

There are many things to think about when hiring a professional nanny. What position are you looking for? Do you want a full-time or part-time nanny? Are you looking for a live-in or live-out nanny?

You should also consider what qualities and characteristics you’d like to see in your nanny. What experience would you like them to have? What personality would be most compatible with yours and your family’s?

Before proceeding with hiring a career nanny, you should be aware of the standard rate for professional nannies in your area. You’ll want to familiarize yourself with other expenses, such as taxes and bonuses. Using an expert nanny placement agency like Hello, Nanny!® ensures none of these factors are left unnoticed.

How do I find a good nanny in my area?

Nanny agencies in California and Texas and nationwide— like Hello, Nanny!® — are the best way to find a good career nanny in your area. Many websites offer hundreds of nanny profiles for families to sift through. Unfortunately, these platforms don’t vet their nannies with the same careful consideration that a nanny placement agency does.

With a boutique nanny agency like ours, we do all the heavy lifting — extensive research, interviewing, vetting, background checks, and personality checks — so families don’t have to.

We understand how much time and energy goes into finding the right career nanny for your family, which is why we ensure all our professional nannies are fully qualified before matching them with your family.

What does a nanny placement agency do?

A nanny placement agency works to find the perfect candidate for your family. Here at Hello, Nanny!®, we never leave anything to chance. We get to know you so we can learn your family’s preferences, needs, and requirements.

Then, we find the best career nanny for your family through our database of pre-vetted professional nannies. Due to our expertise as both a working mom and career nanny, we understand this process isn’t easy, which is why we work tirelessly to find the perfect match.

Our mission as a boutique nanny agency is to ease the stress of looking for the right candidate. We do this by presenting you with qualified professional nannies that meet your job requirements, personality preferences, and other personal needs.

At Hello Nanny!® we also work to educate, support, and empower families and professional nannies as they navigate this new partnership. We help you understand industry standards, customize your working agreements, and are there for any questions you may have along the way.
