With nearly 30 years of experience, The Nanny Network has developed a proven system of recruiting, screening and placing nannies with families in the Baltimore and Washington, DC metropolitan areas. Countless families have utilized our services to find both short-term and long-term nannies, and the number of nannies that return to us after their jobs end to find a new opportunity speaks to our successful track record in pairing nannies and families together.
We place:
- Full-time live-out nannies
- Part-time live-out nannies
- Temporary nannies (including emergency back-up care and babysitters) – available for one day to three months or more
- Online homeschool support via our new School @ Home program (ages 5+)
- Group child care (for special events, weddings, conferences, etc.)
- Shared care (involving one nanny and two families)
- Family Assistants (child care professionals who assist with family laundry, family meals, and general household organization)
- Household assistants (full-time, part-time and temporary) through our sister agency, Sidekick!
For families looking for a full-time child care solution, we suggest planning for the search to take approximately 2 to 4 weeks however temporary placements can often times be arranged with 24-48 hours notice.
