What Is A Nanny Placement Agency?
Finding the right nanny for your family is one of the most important decisions you'll make as a parent. But the process can feel overwhelming. Evaluating candidates, checking references, and hoping you've found someone who truly aligns with your family's needs takes time and energy we don’t always have.
That’s where a professional nanny placement agency becomes invaluable.
For over 85 years, Baby Sitters' Guild has been NYC's trusted partner in childcare, helping families navigate the journey of finding exceptional caregivers who feel like family.
What Is a Nanny Placement Agency?
A nanny placement agency specializes in matching families with professional caregivers suited to their unique needs. Unlike online marketplaces or casual referral services, placement agencies maintain networks of vetted childcare professionals and guide families through every step of the selection process.
Professional agencies take time to understand your family's specific requirements, from schedule preferences to childcare philosophy, ensuring matches that work for everyone involved.

What Is a Permanent Nanny?
A permanent nanny is a long-term childcare professional who becomes an integral part of your family's daily life. Unlike temporary or short-term caregivers, permanent nannies commit to working with your family for an extended period—typically years—providing consistency and stability that children thrive on.
These dedicated professionals work full-time or part-time schedules based on your family's needs. They often develop deep bonds with the children they care for and become trusted partners in their development and growth.
Who Benefits from Permanent Nanny Placement?
Permanent nanny placement is ideal for dual-career families, parents with demanding schedules or frequent travel, and households with multiple children. It's particularly valuable for families relocating to NYC, international families settling in the area, and anyone prioritizing long-term stability in their childcare arrangements. Companies also partner with us to offer permanent nanny placement as an employee benefit, helping them retain top talent while supporting working parents.
Key Benefits of Permanent Placement
The greatest advantage of a permanent nanny is consistency. Your children have the same trusted caregiver every day, reducing stress and building secure attachment. Your nanny becomes part of the family, understanding your unique needs, adapting to schedule changes, and growing alongside your children through different developmental stages.
This long-term commitment provides invaluable peace of mind, knowing a vetted professional is invested in your family's wellbeing for years to come.
What If the Nanny Placement Doesn't Work Out?
We understand that not every match is perfect from the start. Baby Sitters' Guild provides ongoing support to address any concerns and help ensure successful long-term relationships.
How Much Does Nanny Placement Cost?
Placement fees vary based on your specific needs and the type of placement required. We provide transparent pricing information during your initial consultation.
