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.

Unfortunately, these platforms don’t vet their nannies with the same careful consideration that a nanny placement agency does.
