RAISING THE STANDARD OF
IN-HOME CARE
At Nod to the Nanny, a professional nanny placement agency, we don’t just place caregivers - we help families understand the realities of professional in-home childcare so they can make informed, confident decisions when hiring a nanny.
​
​
​
​
That includes honest conversations around nanny rates, availability, hiring timelines, and what truly defines the right fit for your family. We don’t expect families to arrive with all the answers; we help clarify them.
​
​
​
​
In-home nanny care is a professional service, not a commodity. Rates vary based on experience, responsibilities, schedule, and location, and the right nanny match is rarely about speed or cost alone. It’s about alignment, expectations, and long-term sustainability for both the family and the caregiver. By grounding the nanny placement process in education and transparency, we create childcare placements that feel intentional, fair, and built to last.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
Built Around
Your Family
Thoroughly Vetted,
Thoughtfully Supported
Guidance Beyond Placement
Every family’s nanny search timeline is different, and we move at the pace that feels right for you and your circumstances. Some placements happen quickly; others take more time. Timelines are flexible. Standards are resolute. Every nanny placement is handled with thoughtful care, thorough vetting, and intention.
Every caregiver who interviews for your family’s nanny position completes multiple interviews and meets the screening and credential requirements specific to the role.
All caregivers with whom we work must complete a background check through TrustLine, California’s background check service for in-home child care. And may complete additional nanny screening and verifications tailored to each family and placement.
​
Beyond credentials, we thoughtfully review childcare experience, professional references, and overall professionalism. We believe thorough nanny vetting and respectful support go hand in hand, and we stay actively engaged with caregivers throughout the placement process.
As a trusted nanny placement agency, Nod to the Nanny provides ongoing support long after your nanny hire is complete. We believe a successful placement is more than a match, it’s a well-supported transition for both family and caregiver.
​
From nanny onboarding guidance and contract clarity to communication support and evolving childcare needs, we remain a thoughtful resource throughout your employment journey.
​
Our goal is to help families build stable, long-term relationships with their nannies through continued guidance, professional insight, and personalized support.
Because exceptional nanny placement is just the beginning.

TESTIMONIALS
"They took the time to truly understand our needs and found a caregiver who cared for our family as if it were their own."
Liliana and her team at Nod to the Nanny stopped at nothing to find the right nanny for our newborn twins and toddler.
From the very beginning, they took the time to truly understand our personal and professional needs as working parents. We entrusted them to find a caregiver who would both simplify our lives and provide exceptional care for our children — and they delivered. Throughout the entire matching process, the team offered ongoing support and was consistently available to us, day and night.
