We recruit dedicated, loving, professional, college-educated nannies who will share their expertise with your children—from helping with reading homework, to learning French, to practicing the cello. Our nannies’ diverse skill sets are carefully matched to meet each family’s individual needs with the intention of forming a lasting, meaningful relationship.

Beyond traditional childcare skills, our nannies bring a depth of knowledge and expertise acquired through higher education, enriching your child's learning environment and fostering intellectual growth. Their ability to engage children in meaningful activities, coupled with their understanding of child psychology and educational theories, ensures a nurturing and stimulating daily environment. New York City is renowned for its diversity and academic opportunities; a college-educated nanny can introduce cultural awareness and academic support tailored to your family's needs, making them an integral part of your team.

On a rainy day, your nanny might head with your little ones to the American Museum of Natural History, the Children’s Library at Stavros Niarchos, any of NYC’s indoor playspaces, or even the One World Observatory. In the warmer months, they might take your little ones on adventures to the Tisch Children’s Petting Zoo, The Intrepid Museum, or one of the city’s many kid-friendly parks that are often full of children and families (our favorite is the new-ish Domino Park just across the Williamsburg Bridge!).
