Boston Babies

Nanny Recommendation

My friend is looking to hire a nanny. I'm helping her find a few companies to look into.  Has anyone used Boston Nanny? or any other nanny agencies you've used and liked.

Re: Nanny Recommendation

  • We used www.sittercity.com for a sitter and they have nannies as well.  Our sitter is fantastic!

  • We used sittercity as well to find our wonderful nanny.  You end up doing a little more work (screening applicants) than you would with an agency but it is way cheaper.
  • I am actually a nanny myself. I have never needed to go through an agency (I lucked out and found my jobs through Craigslist and Gardenmoms/via word of mouth from a mom who knew me).

    That being said both of those resources are great. Sittercity is also great. If you are going to go the agency route I met with American Nanny a few times for info and everyone I met was very professional. Beacon Hill Nannies is also a wonderful agency. Both can get pricey, but they are very thorough.

    I usually tell parents to at least try Craigslist or GardenMoms..both are free, so it's worth a try!

     Good luck, and if you have any other questions I'm happy to help. :)

  • I would highly recommend Boston Nanny. I myself am a nanny and have also worked in their offices as well as gotten several jobs through them. Your friend won't be disappointed.
  • I think sittercity is amazing! it's nice because you can find people who have paid to run background checks on themselves -- a little safer than meeting who knows who on craigslist or other unsecured sites.

  • As a longtime Nanny,I always searched on my own. The best year I have had no luck and joined a few Agencies.

     I joined Beacon Hill Nannies and personally they have been of no help to me. They are very,very rude.
