Why Choose Us to Find Your Next Nanny Position?

Nanny Counsel is a business built by its Nannies.

Without amazing Nannies, Nanny Counsel would cease to exist. We recognize that we are here because of YOU. Because of that, we do not prioritize profit at the expense of our Nannies. Nanny Counsel is committed to advocating for both the Family AND the Nanny. We believe Families and Nannies are equally important, and do not prioritize one over the other.

 As true Nanny advocates, this is what we guarantee
when you are represented by our agency:

 

  • Nannies placed with a Nanny Counsel family receive unlimited, no charge support from Nanny Counsel for the duration of their employment.

  • We will be a part of the entire contract negotiation process.

  • We will go back and forth between you and the employer, until all parties agree and a work agreement is signed. 

  • We only represent Families who are willing to do things 100% legally. This includes:

    • Paying on the books 

    • Issuing the Nanny a W-2 each year

    • Paying hourly (not salary), 

    • Paying overtime, absolutely no banking hours.

  • We only represent Families who are willing to offer typical industry standards. For example: guaranteed hours, vacation time, sick days, mileage reimbursement, paying the going rate for the area, etc.

  • We vet Families just as thoroughly as we vet Nannies. This means we interview them and unless a Family has never hired a Nanny before, we speak with their past Nannies as reference.

  • We will not pressure you to take a job you do not want, nor will we hold that decision against you. Your happiness is more important to us than making a quick placement -- we do not prioritize profit over our nanny's best interests.

“Brooke is truly the best at what she does! She’s very professional and makes sure candidates are very qualified. She helped me find my dream family and I’m super thankful for that! She also provides amazing resources and articles for Nannies and Families. Before I found her, I was unhappy using agencies, but she is now my favorite and goes above and beyond!”

 Coaching Testimonial

“I needed the help of Nanny Counsel and had a phone consult with Brooke. I can honestly say it was well worth the fee. I have been a Nanny for 10 years and never had a problem interviewing/getting a job but I wanted to make sure that I aced a special job interview and I needed advice on giving notice.

What I learned from Brooke was priceless. During the interview I was so confident and prepared in ways you would never think of. She truly teaches you how to stand out from the competition. The family I interviewed with was so impressed that they offered me the position before I left the house! I can not recommend her services enough, and I will definitely use her again in the future.”
