A Note About Being a Selective Nanny Agency
I am writing this note to let nannies know that I am truly sorry that only a percentage of nannies who come to us will qualify to be placed by our agency. I know the economy is challenging right now, and I wish we could find a position for every good nanny who comes our way. All nannies need to meet the qualifications described on this page.

Our process is rigorous, and I apologize if a nanny who feels she is very good is not placed by our agency. I wish we could place every good nanny who comes our way. We can only pursue those candidates who meet our qualifications and that we feel 'click' with our style and the way we work. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and we wish all candidates the best of luck,

Ann Wycoff, Ph.D.
