For Families
At Urban Nanny Co., I believe exceptional nanny placements begin with trusted relationships. With over 10 years of professional nanny experience, I personally get to know the caregivers I recommend-not simply forward resumes from online job boards. This allows me to thoughtfully match each family with a nanny who fits their lifestyle, values, and childcare needs.
Step 1
Private Consultation
We begin with a one-on-one consultation to understand your family's lifestyle, schedule, childcare philosophy, and household needs.
Step 4
Screening & Verification
Every candidate is thoroughly
screened, including professional
references and background
verification, before placement.
Step 2
Candidate Search
Rather than sending dozens of resumes, we carefully select a small group of highly qualified nannies who align with your family's unique requirements.
Step 3
Personal Interview
Meet thoughtfully selected candidates and choose the nanny who feels like the right fit for your home.
Step 6
Continued Support
We're available after placement to help ensure a smooth start and answer questions that arise during the transition.
