You tell us whether you're looking for a nanny or already have one, your zip code, the hours you need care and when you want to start. We pair families looking for a nanny with families who already have one, within 50 miles of each other, whose hours complement yours. Each match gets a score from 0 to 100 based on schedule fit, distance and start date, and you only see the best fits.
We're live in New York and Connecticut, with more areas opening soon. Join the waitlist and we'll email you when we reach your zip code.
Each family pays the nanny directly for its share of hours. The shared calendar tracks hours and totals so everyone sees the same numbers. We recommend a household payroll service for taxes — nanny nearest doesn't process wages.
