Pleased to
​meet you.


Kith like kin.
Friends like family. 
​The cozy feeling of familiarity, warmth, and a nurturing home.

​Hiring a nanny to spend everyday in your home may feel like a daunting, intimidating task to go alone. We are here to live up to our name.  Our goal is to match each family with someone who will grow to be as steadfast as kin, and as dependable as kith, all while maintaining professionalism and discretion. ​

We make searching for the right nanny, manny, governess, newborn care specialist, household assistant, or housekeeper infinitely easier by connecting qualified, exceptional candidates with vibrant, respectful families.

​With over a decade of experience in household employment, child development, and classroom education, we understand the unique relationship between a nanny and family firsthand, and we seek to link our candidates with employers who value their histories and efforts. We do placements ​nationwide.

What we value.

NYC Nanny Agency
Utmost confidentiality.  We take your confidence and trust as an honor. We insist that all parties, clients and candidates, hold personal information with discretion. Every candidate who your family interviews will sign a non-disclosure agreement prior to learning any information whatsoever about your family other than what has been included in the job description.

Clear communication.  For candidates and clients alike, we provide you with a detailed outline and contract regarding our guarantees and expectations. Additionally, we provide an employment agreement template to use with your employee so that clear expectations may be met, and the relationship may prosper. 

Collaborative, helpful partnerships. "No man is an island." We work best when we work together. We seek families and nannies who feel the same, trusting in each others strengths, for the betterment of each child and home. We seek candidates who take helpful initiative in the home, families who effectively communicate their needs and balance compensation fairly with the candidate's skills and duties.
​
Following the child. Just as Dr. Maria Montessori said, we seek to follow each child's individual path. In all things, to the best of our abilities, we work toward what is best and equitable for each child, knowing that the future belongs to them.

Respect and Protections for Domestic Workers.  We understand the history of domestic workers in our country, and as such, insist that they be provided entitled protections under the law with a fair, living wage in NYC, overtime, and legal "on-the-books" pay. Our clients provide upfront, clear communication about job expectations and foreseen flexibility so that candidates may be satisfied in their work and employment retained for the long-term by limiting misunderstandings and supporting positive environments for all individuals involved in the work relationship. We desire to be one of many nanny agencies in NYC and the United States that views candidates as humans with equal rights. We do not screen or bar applicants based on legally-protected classes, so long as the applicant is fit for a job's requirements and family's childcare philosophy.


Why work with us.

NYC Nanny Agency

Clear expectations.  From the get-go, our agency is honest and realistic. We are straight talkers, in love: no fluff and no smooth talking, period. We give you our professional feedback on the parameters of your search and provide guidance on how to make your position more competitive. Ask us of our informed opinion about an hourly rate, placement timeline, or standard benefits packages, and we will provide you with an educated and experienced response.

Qualified candidates, only.  Having a personal touch in all placements means that our NYC nanny agency will only introduce you to the best, most viable candidates for your family, instead of a parade of applicants. We will not be sending you a huge stack of resumes to sort through to see who is qualified or not; that is the responsibility of any good agency! We don't try to force connections that feel unnatural or speed you through making a decision. Rather, we will work with you to understand your family’s needs and preferences and what compensation range is suitable for the candidate you are seeking. Above all, we create personality and philosophy matches to ensure peace in your home, and excellence in responsibilities.
