At Hello Nanny!, we know that raising a family takes more than love—it takes a village. That’s why we’ve built ours: Hello Nanny!’s Expert Village.
This curated network of trusted professionals—spanning child development, family wellness, mental health, education, and more—exists to help parents and caregivers navigate the complexities of modern family life with confidence.
We’re thrilled to spotlight our community of experts, sharing their story, their work, and the insights that inspire them. Because behind every great caregiver or parent is a team of people who make the journey a little easier. And, we’re here to make sure you never walk it alone.
In this week’s Village Expert Spotlight, we chatted with Keesha Scott, a certified parenting coach with a master’s degree in psychology and more than two decades of real-life parenting experience. A former troubled teen turned mother of three, she’s passionate about helping families navigate the messy, complicated, and deeply rewarding work of raising kids.
