Finding the right nanny for your family is a BIG deal! If it feels overwhelming or stressful, that makes sense. To put it simply, you’re looking for a long-term partner for your family who will support you in caring for the most precious thing in your world: your children! It makes sense that you want to find the right fit. But successfully navigating a nanny search involves many key factors beyond just aligning on schedules needs, location, and pay rate.

The most perfect nanny on paper will not always be the perfect nanny for your family. While experience and references are certainly important, it is also important to find a caregiver who aligns with your parenting philosophies, communication style, personalities, passions, goals, etc. This is someone you can truly partner with!
