About Us


In 2023, The Nanny Network, LLC is celebrating 28 years in business as an independent child care staffing agency serving the Baltimore and Washington, DC metropolitan areas. The company has a long, successful track record matching experienced nannies with families and is proud of its long-standing relationships within the community. Drawing off her experience in recruiting, management, business, and parenting, Dulany Dent, a working mom of 3, owns The Nanny Network, understanding clients’ challenges in finding quality in-home child care firsthand. Dulany and the rest of The Nanny Network team are committed to providing the highest level of customer service and to facilitating the nanny search and placement process with the least amount of work required by the family. Read through some client testimonials to learn more about the substance behind the agency’s placement services and the essence of The Nanny Network client experience.

The Nanny Network is a proud member of the Famtech.org, the Association of Premier Nanny Agencies and the International Nanny Association, and is committed to upholding the best business practices and highest level of professionalism in the industry. Dulany was honored to serve on the APNA Board of Directors from 2015-2019. The Nanny Network is a proud partner in the national One to One campaign, launched in April 2020 to help provide companies with a quick, safe, and affordable child care solution for employees during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition to traditional in-home nanny and sitter placement services, and our School@Home program, the Nanny Network also offers household management services through its sister agency, Sidekick. Sidekick was launched in 2018 after much feedback from our clients who were looking for support in the format of laundry service, errand service, grocery shopping, household projects and simple meal prep.   

Our normal business hours are Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM-4:30 PM. However, rest assured, someone is available to assist you with last minute, back-up care needs Monday-Friday 7:00 AM-9:00 PM, Saturdays from 9:00 AM-6:00 PM, and Sundays 9:00 AM-11:00 AM + 4:00 PM-9:00 PM. If you have questions or would like to schedule an appointment to learn more about us, please schedule a call! We’re here to help.
