Our Agency is Ready to Match You with the Best Nanny
Unlike larger nanny agencies and online nanny search platforms, we are relationship-oriented and focus on forming personal connections with you and our nannies. This makes for a 100% personalized matchmaking experience.
Our matchmaking service is structured to unite your family with a loving professional who is an ideal match for you and your loved ones. Our scrupulous application process allows us to hand-pick the most qualified nannies and versatile family assistants and household managers in the Greater Boston Area.
How it Works
1. Inquiry
2. Nanny Portfolios
3. Nanny Interviews
We tailor our support based on your preferences. Some families choose to schedule their own interviews, while others prefer that we coordinate the interview times.
4. Trial Run
If you've selected a top candidate after the interview phase, you may schedule a trial period with that nanny candidate. Many families invite the nanny to come to their home for a few hours or a full day to see how the caregiver interacts with their children.
5. Job Offer & Background Check
Once you've found the perfect nanny, you can make a job offer to that candidate. We conduct a comprehensive background check on your behalf which includes a County Criminal Court Search, Motor Vehicle Records Search, Nationwide Criminal Databases Search, Sex Offender Registry Search, Social Security Number Trace, and CORI checks in Massachusetts.
6. Customizable Agreement
7. Ongoing Support
After a placement is made, we do frequent check-ins with families and nannies to help ensure long-lasting placements. We want to see families and nannies thrive in their relationships. Our commitment to the success of your nanny selection, after they begin working with you, truly sets us apart from other agencies that end services upon finalizing the placement.
