Finding a job in this economy can be hard for anyone. But for a nanny, it isn't just about finding a job, it's about finding the right fit in the right home where you will be happy every day. No one decides to become a nanny without having a love for children. Like a parent, you will know days that are difficult and days that are glorious. But you will also experience the deep satisfaction of having played a vital role in helping a young person become all they are meant to be!

Why work, when you can inspire children of the next generation to be the best people they can be?  We here at The Nanny Smith will help you find the perfect place to fulfill that calling.

“Through a series of questions that identified my style as a nanny as well the preferences of the household I work for today, I was matched with a wonderful family... all thanks to this agency! I am very thankful to have met Shanotte who really cares about the families looking for nannies as well as the nannies looking for a family! She is very sweet and determined to find the best fit on both ends! I 100% recommend this company for families seeking a nanny and for nannies looking to broaden their experience by being placed with a lovely family!”
