Invest in Your Family with Confidence​

The Investment

 

Choosing to hire a nanny isn’t just about convenience.  It’s one of the most personal and impactful investments a family can make. You’re not simply paying for childcare, you’re investing in your child’s development, your family’s routine, and your own ability to show up at your best.  A professional nanny offers consistency, personalized attention, and nurturing support that centers your child’s unique needs and your family’s values. It’s a long-term commitment to quality care, safety, and peace of mind.

​

At Nurturing Nannies, we believe finding exceptional care should feel simple, not stressful. That’s why we’ve created a pricing model that reflects real family feedback: no overwhelming upfront fees, no hidden charges, and no confusing fine print.  Just clear, predictable pricing you can trust.

 

Pay-As-You-Go Simplicity

Instead of a large upfront placement fee, we offer an all-inclusive hourly rate that covers everything:

• 100% of your nanny’s earnings (we never take a cut of their pay)

• Payroll processing and tax compliance

• Workers’ compensation and employer liability insurance

• Ongoing support, training, and management from our team

• Guaranteed hours, benefits, and protections for your caregiver

This model allows you to pay as you go (similar to a payment plan versus a large upfront fee, like so many of you requested) , while still receiving full support and saving time and energy when it comes to the legal part of things.

 

One-Time Onboarding Fees

To begin your search, we keep costs reasonable and transparent:

• $188 New Family Registration Fee

• $700 Search Fee (collected after your consultation)

• Two weeks of your nanny’s salary, due before their first day.  Securing your match and allowing us to set up payroll on your behalf

​

What Is a Realistic Expectation of Time a Family Will Spend Conducting Their Own Nanny Search?

​

A DIY nanny search can be a long and intensive process, especially when you’re balancing it with work, parenting, and daily life. While some families get lucky, the average independent search takes between 7 to 13 weeks from start to finish.

​

Here’s a realistic breakdown of the time investment involved:

• Preparation (1-2 weeks): Job Description & Research: Crafting a comprehensive job description and understanding market rates and legal requirements can take approximately 5-10 hours.

• Recruitment (2-4 weeks): Advertising & Networking: Posting on various platforms and reaching out to networks may require about 3-5 hours per week. Application Review: Evaluating resumes and certifications/qualifications could add another 2-4 hours per week, depending on the number of applicants.

• Screening (2-3 weeks): Initial Interviews: Conducting phone or video interviews might take 3-6 hours per week, assuming multiple candidates. Reference Checks: Contacting previous employers can consume an additional 2-3 hours per week.

• In-Person Interviews (1-2 weeks): Meetings & Trial Periods: Scheduling and conducting in-person interviews and trial days can require 4-8 hours per week.

• Finalization (1-2 weeks): Background Checks & Contract Negotiation: Completing background checks and discussing contract terms may take around 3-5 hours per week.

​

Total Estimated Time Commitment: Approximately 40 to 80 hours over the course of the entire search. Many families spend countless hours — often over multiple months — reviewing applications and conducting interviews, only to feel overwhelmed or unsure by the end of it.

Why Work With Nurturing Nannies?

Hiring a professional agency like ours can significantly reduce your timeline, without sacrificing quality or fit. While we do maintain a strong pool of pre-screened, vetted candidates, we conduct a personalized search for each family to ensure you’re matched with a nanny who truly aligns with your unique needs, schedule, and values. Most families are matched within 4–6 weeks, sometimes sooner, depending on availability and flexibility.

​

And it’s not just about speed, it’s about finding the right fit with care, efficiency, and peace of mind.​
 

Here’s how we simplify your search:

• We screen every candidate with our in-depth 12-step screening process

• Verify backgrounds and references (before we send you their recorded interview)

• Conduct in-depth interviews and assessments

• Record and share interviews so you can review on your own schedule (without being ghosted or having your time wasted with no shows)

• Present only the best-aligned candidates

• Coordinate paid trial days/meet and greets, guide onboarding, and support you and your nanny  beyond the hire

​

We’ve refined every step of this process to make it efficient, personalized, and effective — so you can focus on welcoming the right caregiver into your home.
