A personal approach to every match.
Meet the founder
Over a decade in nannying and placement
The Nanny Co. was founded by Lydia, who brings over a decade of experience in nannying and placement to every search — time spent both inside families' homes as a caregiver and across the table helping families hire one.
That's why this doesn't work like a résumé database. Every search starts with a real conversation about your household, and every candidate is someone we've interviewed ourselves.
What we handle
More than an introduction
From candidate screening and interviews to references, work agreements, payroll resources, and ongoing support, we're here to make hiring feel more manageable and more personal.
Screening & interviews
Every candidate is personally interviewed and background-checked before a family ever sees their profile.
References
We call the families a candidate has worked for, so you hear how they show up over time — not just on paper.
Work agreements
Guidance on hours, pay, PTO, and expectations, written down before day one so everyone starts on the same page.
Payroll resources
Pointers to the tools and services that keep household employment legal and simple to run.
Ongoing support
We stay reachable after placement — for the schedule change, the tough conversation, or the backup-care week.
