Yes! The Nanny Network offers shared care, also known as nanny sharing, as part of our Classic service. This arrangement allows two families to share the services of a single nanny. Rates are 12% of total gross compensation per family and the $350 retainer must be paid by each family.
The starting pay rates for long-term full-time and part-time nannies are as follows:
On average, finding a long-term nanny takes approximately 4 to 8 weeks. In the meantime, we offer temporary care options to support you during your search.
Yes! Once you’ve created a job description, our team will present you with qualified candidates who have expressed interest in your position! You’ll be able to review their comprehensive profile, including their bio, skills, references, work history, and certifications. At that point, you decide who you’d like to interview.
Our nannies come from a variety of sources. Many nannies are referred by friends that are currently employed with us. Nannies also find us through job fairs, social media, and online job boards. After 30+ years in business, the agency has developed relationships with thousands of nannies, most of whom return to us when they return to the job market.
The Nanny Network adheres to a strict 8-step vetting process.
The Nanny Network offers a replacement policy (no refunds) in case a placement does not work out. Families are required to complete and return a Nanny Family Agreement. The replacement policy is valid upon timely receipt of the NFA and placement fee.
Yes, the Nanny Network can run a criminal background check for parents who have successfully hired a nanny on their own. Email us at classic@nanny-network.com for our available packages!
Our unwavering commitment to safety/caregiver requirements and our 30+ year track record set us apart from the rest; not to mention our industry-leading online platform that provides for a convenient and seamless user experience. You will want to be sure to review any child care service’s recruiting and vetting strategies that you are considering. There are few who conduct the level of background review that we do for each and every caregiver. Many competitors today supply a technology platform to connect you with sitters but do little, if anything, to verify their caregivers’ qualifications. The Nanny Network is proud to say that we do both of these things and we do them very well. Our core values lie at the heart of our business and personal operations.
Nothing! The service is free for job seekers. Apply today!
Initial requirements include two years of recent, professional child care experience, multiple (excellent) non-relative child care references, a car (in most cases), and the ability to legally work in the United States.
Depending on the type of work that you’re interested and the department you work for, you will either be paid via direct deposit as a W-2 employee or paid directly from a family. This will be dependent on the job type and will be explained to you when applying for jobs.
The answer is, “it depends.” Temporary nannies are not currently permitted to drive children at all due to liability concerns. For long-term placements, you may be required to drive children as part of your job description, but that will be stated in that specific job and will only apply to “Classic” positions where, once hired, you are a household employee of the family you work for (not the agency).
Our main markets are Baltimore, Washington D.C., & New Orleans, however we continue to expand into other geographical markets, understanding that as an employer in 2025, companies have remote employees everywhere!
Our service agreement is typically 1 year in duration
Typically we can get a company set up in 2 weeks in areas where we currently operate and we can establish an account at any time of year. If additional build-out is required, the set up time can take 3-6 months.

When our nannies complete a job, they tend to come back to us for help in finding their next job!

The Good People Care Alliance is an employer-sponsored caregiving benefit solultion that connects employees to trusted caregiving resources across the Baltimore-Washington, D.C. metro area. Through one partnership, employees can access a full spectrum of subsidized care, including childcare, elder care, tutoring, and support for neurodivergent family members.
This benefit is designed for companies looking to support their employee caregivers, as well as for employees who care for children, aging parents, neurodivergent family members, or loved ones with specialized needs.
The Good People Care Alliance is a collective of best-in-class care agencies in the Baltimore-Washington, DC metropolitan area. The alliance includes caregiving resources for a full spectrum of caregiving needs, including:
Care management and advocacy for the elderly and those with disabilities. This all-in-one approach:
Employers contract with the Good People Care Alliance through a single agreement. Here they can select which services to offer and and the package of hours that they wish to pre-purchase, that predictably aligns with their budget.
Employers determine the amount of the employee care stipend to offer annually to in addition to the employee co-pays, that syncs with their benefits strategy. Once active, employees gain direct access to all Alliance partners through our online portal and can book consults and care services based on their needs.
Employees simply create an account online using their employer-issued email address. Then, they select the care service that best fits their needs and are quickly connected to the right agency partner to receive expert care, without long wait times or complex administrative steps. Care is coordinated directly with trusted providers in the region.
Yes. Currently, the Good People Care Alliance is only available to employers with employees in the Baltimore–Washington metro (DMV) area. We are launching here because this is where our roots are, but we are looking to expand regionally, and ultimately nationally, once we fine-tune this local model.
For employers with a small percentage of remote employees, we currently offer some virtual benefit options (including virtual tutoring and care management), however our in-home care services are limited to the DMV.
Unlike benefit solutions that address only one type of care, the Good People Care Alliance offers an array of care options through a single contract. Good People was formed around trusted relationships between local leaders, allowing for high-quality care by companies with a proven track record.
The mission of the Good People Care Alliance also differentiates us from the competition. Good People is dedicated to helping solve the care crisis in the U.S. through workforce development and increasing access for working families to affordable care.
Employers who invest in caregiving benefits will see a strong return on their investment (ROI) in the form of:
