Someone to Watch Over Them: Finding the Best Nanny or Au Pair

DECEMBER 23, 2008

Agencies take pride in selecting, screening, and following-up on the perfect nanny

No matter how good a parent you are, everyone needs a hand sometimes. To avoid a nanny problem, or worse, an angry helper, the person you hire should be carefully screened. Fortunately, a number of agencies make it their job to place quality nannies and au pairs who'll provide great care for your kids.

Urban Nurture is a boutique consultancy that offers classic childcare traditions adapted to 21st century demands. The agency offers services like Nanny Fix-it, a parenting support service staffed by real life British "Super Nannies" who work with parents on tough parenting issues, and Nanny Know-How, an advisory service that provides families with individualized step-by-step guidance to help them find and keep a highly qualified nanny.

NYC Nanny Finder, also gets great reviews from local parents. The agency provides nanny-seekers with convenient online video interviews, resumes and references, to give them assurance about candidates even before they meet them. Should you want to keep an eye on things once you've found someone, Meyerson Associates' private investigation and security specialist Barry Meyerson and his staff will prescreen your nanny's background and install sophisticated covert digital surveillance systems (a.k.a. "nanny cams") in your home.
