YOUR NANNY NOW
A COMPLETE GUIDE TO HIRING A NANNY CONFIDENTLY & CORRECTLY
Hiring a nanny can be overwhelming. Complex questions about tax laws, withholdings, benefits, or basic questions about nanny tasks, rates or background checks have parents turning to agencies for help.
But the investment of outsourcing the hiring process doesn’t make financial sense for every family. Parents are left to navigate the hiring process on their own, often without the necessary tools or knowledge to make a long lasting partnership with a qualified nanny.
We wanted a better solution for parents. A middle ground between full service agency nanny placement and a DIY nanny search that can lead to wasted time & money, nanny turn over, or a nanny search that drags on and on without a qualified candidate in sight.
Walk through the hiring process with an agency professional guiding you step by step.
Video lessons completed in tandem with our workbook help you streamline and organize your nanny search.
Learn proven hiring strategies that will optimize your nanny search and save you time & money.
Connect with us for consulting calls to keep your search on the right track.

Employment Agreement
A nanny/employer relationship is only as good as the employment agreement they sign. I will shout this from the rooftops for as long as I am in this industry. I have seen wonderful nanny/employer relationship crumble due to encountering a conflict that wasn’t previously addressed or agreed to. Having a signed employment agreement means that both parties have a chance to negotiate the details and everyone feels the terms are fair. No employment agreement or an incomplete one can be cause for serious trouble. The Your Nanny Now agreement is as thorough as it gets.
