In Search of Nanny helped remove the stress of finding a quality caregiver and took care of all those things we didn’t realize we needed to consider, but are key in evaluating a candidate." S. Clevering Cambridge, MA

I n Search of Nanny refers nannies and house manager/nannies in the metro Boston area. As a full service agency, we can assist you with any childcare schedule requirement. We refer nannies for full-time hours (24 or more hours/week) or part-time hours (fewer than 23 hours/week). We can also assist parents wanting to Share-A-Nanny to minimize the cost of in-home care.

The steps to initiate a permanent child-care search:

• Complete the on-line Family Application including the consultation/registration fee
• We send the "In-Home Childcare Kit, a Parent's Guide for Successfully Employing (and Keeping) a Professional Nanny." The Kit includes information and techniques for defining your requirements, interviewing and screening a caregiver, making an offer of employment and suggestions and forms to manage your nanny employee. Information and forms regarding the tax considerations and benefits for employing in-home care are also included. Parents have told us the Kit is invaluable if they are hiring a caregiver for the first or the fifth time.
• We schedule a two-hour personal meeting in our Beverly office to understand your needs and expectations to ensure any applicant we refer clearly meets your requirements. We will also help you develop a written job description with responsibilities and flexibility clearly defined.
• We sign the Family/Agency Agreement which details the Agency fee and placement guarantee
