Please advise me on best professional, respected nanny agencies to apply to

[Anonymous]

I am a new member on here so this forum is pretty new to me. I have been a preschool teacher for over 20 years and am looking to now apply to a nanny agency but don't know which ones are highly rated. I really need one that offers some benefits (I'm not sure if that's through the agency or through the family) and would like the agency to work on matching me with a good fit between family and myself (would truly love to work with a family that has an infant!). I'd prefer working in the Rockville/Potomac/Bethesda area so agencies that do placements in these areas are best.

Thank you so much for reading and any advice is appreciated!

The benefits are offered through the families. There are not many of them either, the standard being just 5 sick days, 10 week vacation, and all federal holidays. Try White House nannies, at least to see if they are interested. There are better ones but I want to keep my secret (-:, sorry!

White House Nannies

I’m in Chevy Chase and looking for a FT nanny. I offer good pay and a stipend for health insurance (post your email if interested in me reaching out). For my previous nanny and currently, I use DCmum, Facebook, word of mouth, and neighborhood listservs to find nannies. Agency fees are expensive for both parties.

Agencies fees are reasonable for folks that actually guaranteed and offer great salarie$$$ and benefits.

I used White House Nannies and Adventure Nannies.

My former nanny worked for White House nannies and said the pay/benefits were not as good as she expected. She had higher take home pay working for families she met through word of mouth, even when taking taxes into account.

Career nanny here and if the position has not been filled I'd be interested. If you see this OP feel free to respond and I will post my contact info. Thank you.

Only families pay the agency fees, so they are def not 'expensive for both parties", just for one party and the fees are worth every penny for lots of folks

White House nannies is horrible for nannies. They don’t offer what they advertise

“Agencies fees are reasonable for folks that actually guaranteed and offer great salarie$$$ and benefits”

White House Nannies charges parents 20% of the nanny annual salary. We pay $70k a year.

For $14k I can easily ask around, post on the local listserv, conduct interviews and a background check. Just because a family doesn’t use them doesn’t mean we aren’t paying a good salary and benefits. It means we have better things to spend $14,000 on!

Most of these ads about nanny agencies are made and replied to by agency personnel. the WORST is white house nannies.
