About Our Nannies

All Nanny Works candidates are citizens of the United States, who have a strong background in childcare. We only consider nannies who are at minimum high school graduates, however many of our nannies are college educated.

We place individuals of all ages (over 18 years old)

Live-out nannies are generally recruited from your local area, while nannies who wish to live-in are recruited from other parts of the United States.

A prospective nanny is asked to fill out an application and provide us with at least 3 professional and 3 personal reference contacts. These references represent a wide spectrum of applicant's background, experience, and qualifications.

Before Nanny Works will recommend a prospective, we review the completed application, interview the candidate and check references by telephone. This allows us to determine if the individual is responsible, highly motivated, warm, and nurturing.

Nanny Works has contracted a national security organization to conduct a criminal history search, driving history search, and social security trace.

We ask the nanny to complete an Infant and Child CPR course prior to her employment.

Requirements for Nannys Include:

• Minimum of 3 years of childcare experience. Experience must have been acquired within the last 5 years
• Minimum of 3 childcare references; references (excluding relatives and friends) and 3 character references
• Non smoker

The first and most important responsibility of  a nanny is to provide quality care and supervision for your child or children.
