Personalized Service

We Have Been Where You Are

We Have Been Where You Are

 

You have many options when searching for childcare.  When you choose The Nanny Connection, you will have a dedicated coordinator to assist you in finding high quality long term or occasional child care.  

We strive to make the process safe and easy for you.  

In addition, many of our families value that we save them an enormous amount of time in their childcare search.  By letting us handle the narrowing down of applicants, reference calls, background checks, and first round interviews, you can feel safe when the nannies take their first step in your home. 

We Have Been Where You Are

We Have Been Where You Are

We Have Been Where You Are

 

We understand this can be a very stressful and overwhelming process. 

By working with The Nanny Connection, you are getting professional help

with one of the most important decisions of your family's life.

For the same reason you would consult a realtor when buying a house,

or an accountant when doing your taxes, working with an expert can help

make this process much safer and easier for you.

Personal Message from melissa

 

Our family has moved twice to new cities where we knew few people and had few child care resources.  We understand how nervous you may be to trust a stranger in your home with your children.  

New families are pleasantly surprised at how easy our team is to work with, and how professional our nannies and sitters are.  

We constantly strive to improve your experience with your feedback.  Please share your experiences with us, so that we can take  better care of you. 


Thank you!

The sitters have ranged from excellent to exceptional . The price is fair and clearly explained up front."
