What’s the difference between a capable nanny and the best nanny for your child?

A competent nanny will keep your child safe, but a great nanny is a natural fit with your child and your parenting style, creating the consistency of care that’s absolutely essential for very young children. You’ll make a great team.

It’s an investment

Over the years, you’re going to invest substantially: private school, lessons of all sorts, summer programs, and college. It’s now understood that the first years are most important: the right nanny makes a lasting difference.

So, how do you find her?

I’ve helped hundreds of families in the San Francisco Bay Area find exactly the right nanny for their children. From this experience, I’ve learned that all nannies are not created equal -- finding the perfect fit takes perspective and skill.

Making it easy and finding the perfect match

I’ve created a highly personal, turn-key process that makes the search easy and convenient for you. It includes access to my database of the Bay Area’s best nannies and visits to your home to learn what’s most important to you.

If you feel this approach may be right for your family, let’s talk. I welcome your phone call. (415) 331-6264 (NANI)

In more recent months, the stigma against parents that hire nannies has reared its’ ugly head again. It began with the allegation that Caroline Kennedy withdrew her nomination to take the Senate seat vacated by Hillary Clinton because she failed to pay the nanny tax. It continued with the withdrawal of Nancy Killegrew and Tom Daschle for the same reason. The outcry against these politicians has re-established a long-held stigma against parents that hire nannies - that only the rich and famous hire nannies, and that their failure to pay the nanny tax is symbolic of their attitude that they are better than the rest of us hard-working, poor folk.
