I'm sure there are suckers who'd pay for that, but I wouldn't be one of them. My nanny travels with us when we want to take the kids on our travels. We can work out taxes and performance reviews and all that without paying someone else to do it for us. Just seems like a waste of money.

There have been a few of these that have come and gone...DC Baby Planners was one I think...the DC Baby Blue Book and there's one now that the name escapes me.

I think parents would love the information as long as you have comprehensive resources, not just companies that are paying to be included.

Op, I am a nanny and law student in DC. I have a similar idea along with some others. Please share your email address if you would like to chat.

It's called a good nanny agency.

Care.com and agencies do not provide training or one-on-one vetting. They do not provide any classes for parents or caregivers.

Care.com sucks. I used them and thought they were terrible.

Sounds like care.com

Isn't that basically what an agency does?

Also classes for new parents and nannies: child care, cloth diapering, breastfeeding/pumping, nutrition/making baby food, child development activities, CPR/first aid.

So I work in early childhood policy and am a new mom. After going through the process of interviewing and hiring a nanny and also needing child care for work travel, I am thinking of starting a business. I was thinking of a parent concierge (think Rosie Pope but more practical): finding child care (center, in-home, nanny), providing templates for nanny work agreements/contracts, conducting background checks, vetting references, arranging child care for people traveling to DC for vacations or work travel, doing nanny taxes, performance reviews, professional development and training. I was a nanny for several years and worked in early childhood education administration. Do you think this would be a service people would be interested in? If so, how much do you think people would pay for such a service?
