Our website is a trusted resource that offers professional information and guidance on nanny industry standards, household employer obligations, and tips on how to deal with common issues within the nanny/family employment relationship.
In 2017 we put our money where our advice is (so to speak) and launched the nanny placement and consulting agency portion of Nanny Counsel. As an agency, we are committed to advocating for both Families and Nannies equally.
We believe clear communication and a solid work agreement are the foundation to a successful nanny-family relationship!
We offer three primary services:
Nanny
Placement
We specialize in placing highly qualified, amazing Nannies with equally amazing Families. When you hire your Nanny through Nanny Counsel, you’ll get the best fit for your family.
Coaching
for Nannies
Our website has been a trusted resource for over 5 years. Nannies schedule 1:1 coaching sessions with Brooke for advice on work dilemmas, career advancement, and anything in between!
Consulting
for Families
Brooke offers 1:1 consulting with Families to help them navigate the nanny hiring process. This is a great option for Families who don’t want to pay an agency to place a Nanny for them.

behind the counsel
Hi! I’m Brooke,
Owner & founder of Nanny Counsel.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Florida State University and a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology specializing in Marriages and Families from Pepperdine University. I also have 15+ years of experience working as a Professional Nanny / Family Assistant. Nannying, relationships, and communication are my thing! Because of my professional and educational background, I decided to start a blog to help Nannies and Families better understand the industry, and to promote healthy relationships and communication between one another. Much to my surprise, my articles were republished on sites like Huffington Post and Scary Mommy, which quickly led to my blog garnering a large following! With so many readers, Nanny Counsel organically evolved into a business — Families started reaching out asking if we offered professional placements and Nannies reached out for coaching and counsel when dealing with a difficult work issue.
I know the ins and outs of the nanny industry and am adept at assessing a Family's needs and then matching them with a Nanny who will meet those needs. My many years of working in private households combined with my Clinical Psychology background equips me to effectively communicate with both Parents and Nannies.
