About Nurturing Nannies
Why Choose Nurturing Nannies?
At Nurturing Nannies, we do more than place caregivers, we build lasting partnerships rooted in trust, safety, and support. Founded by a career nannie who understands the field inside and out, our agency is uniquely positioned to meet the needs of both families and caregivers.
Stress-Free Support from Start to Finish
We manage the entire process, from interviews, vetting, and background checks to payroll, insurance, and compliance, so you can focus on your family with peace of mind.
We Are the Legal Employer
Unlike most agencies, we legally employ the nannies and sitters we place. You don’t have to worry about taxes, payroll, or liability. Our clients enjoy clear hourly pricing and professional, compliant care.
Caregivers You Can Count On
Each caregiver is carefully selected, trained, and supported with ongoing education and mentorship. We invest in our team so they can provide exceptional care for your children.
Compassion-First Childcare
We focus on building nurturing, inclusive environments where children feel safe, supported, and understood. Our placements are guided by alignment in values, not just availability.
Rooted in Minnesota, Committed to Families
As a local agency, we’re proud to serve the Twin Cities community. We take the time to get to know every family and caregiver to ensure long-term success and meaningful relationships.
Our Mission
At Nurturing Nannies, our mission is to be the trusted support system for both families and nannies. Removing stress, offering guidance, and delivering impeccable care. We’re here to make life easier for busy parents and working professionals by handling every detail of the hiring and employment process. From full-time placements to wedding childcare, we create seamless matches that feel like magic and provide long-term support so families can thrive and nannies can grow careers they’re proud of.
Our Vision
We envision a future where Nurturing Nannies is the go-to agency for high-performing families across the Midwest who value reliability, great communication, and caregivers who truly understand kids and meet them where they’re at. As the leading nanny employer in the region, we are raising the bar for what professional caregiving should look like by offering exceptional pay, benefits, and respect for the nannies we employ.
At the same time, we’re committed to supporting families who prefer to remain the employer themselves, as well as the caregivers they hire. Through educational resources, coaching, and hiring tools, we empower families to hire legally and ethically and equip caregivers with the knowledge and support they need to advocate for themselves and succeed in their roles. Because every child deserves excellent care, and every caregiver deserves to be treated like a professional.

About The Founder
Hi! I’m Rachel Tepley, the founder of Nurturing Nannies. I’ve worked in the childcare industry for over 23 years, primarily as a professional nanny supporting families across every stage of life. Time and time again, I heard parents say, “If only we could duplicate you.” So I did the next best thing... I built an agency to help families find caregivers who bring that same level of trust, connection, and care into their homes. And now, I’m just as passionate about sharing everything I’ve learned with the incredible nannies I work with, helping them grow, feel supported, and build lasting careers in this meaningful profession.
I launched Nurturing Nannies in 2022 with a mission to create thoughtful, values-aligned matches. As I listened closely to what families and nannies needed most, I was inspired to evolve the agency into what it is today: a full-service, employment-based model that takes the stress out of taxes, payroll, and contracts for families while providing greater support and stability for the nannies we represent.
Every caregiver we place is carefully chosen for their professionalism, warmth, and alignment with your family’s values. Whether you need a full-time nanny, sitter, or event childcare, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
At Nurturing Nannies, we believe in building lasting relationships based on trust, communication, and exceptional care. We’re honored to be part of your family’s journey.
Welcome to a new standard in childcare.
