As a family with two kids and two parents who travel for work, finding a trustworthy and caring person to support our family was really important. Shanotte took the time to meet our family, understand our specific needs, and then to lead a tailored search to help us find the right person. At each step, she was professional, accessible, and organized. I highly recommend her services to anyone who needs a partner in finding a great caregiver.””
““We used The Nanny Smith to find our wonderful caregiver, Maureen. We needed extremely quick service during the holidays, as our previous nanny became unavailable right before my return to work in January 2018. Shanotte was extremely professional and responsive and really helped out during that very stressful time. She provided multiple, highly-qualified candidates that really met our needs. Ultimately, we hired an ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL caregiver, and we could not be more pleased. She is honest, loyal, trustworthy, hard-working, punctual, and most importantly, an EXCELLENT and loving caregiver to our daughter. We could not be more pleased!Our entire experience with The Nanny Smith has been great. We were provided with lots of helpful resources to help us select the right candidate. We were also greatly assisted by the agency’s affiliation with Homepay, which helped us to set up the payroll services and provided tax guidance. I would strongly recommend The Nanny Smith!””

“We have had a truly wonderful experience working with The Nanny Smith. Shanotte invested considerable time getting to know our family, our children, and our schedules. She then matched us with a number of very strong candidates all of whom had excellent references, skills, and extensive experience working with children. It is evident that the agency very carefully matches families and nannies. Through The Nany Smith, we found two excellent nannies. Both were professional, caring, and dynamic caregivers for our children. This was the direct result of Shanotte’s thorough work. Just as importantly, Shanotte has maintained a strong connection with our family, always checking in and always available to answer any questions that may arise. We would certainly use the agency again!”

I truly felt she put a lot of thought into the type of candidate that would be a best fit for our family. Her nanny profiles were very well put together and informative.

“I loved my experience with the Nanny Smith. I needed a nanny fairly quickly prior to giving birth and Shanotte made the whole process extremely easy and fast. She found me an amazing nanny for my newborn. I love the nanny so much that I don’t even know what I am going to do when she leaves. The Nanny Smith allowed me to relax in my final months of pregnancy as they did all the research and background check. If you are looking for a nanny definitely check them out!!”
“We are so grateful to Shanotte and The Nanny Smith for connecting us with our caring, responsible and hardworking nanny of three years. We began our search for a nanny during the pandemic, when there were limited candidates and demand was high. We turned to The Nanny Smith when our time-consuming efforts to find a nanny on our own resulted in dead ends. Shanotte made the process very easy and moved things along quickly to meet our timeline. Ultimately, we matched with an amazing nanny who has been so wonderful to our family. The Nanny Smith’s services were well worth the investment to find the “right” person the first time around.”
“It was a pleasure working with this company. They listen closely to what’s important to you, as well as the family and find great prospects eliminating jobs that do not meet your criteria . The interview process was swift and efficient. I loved working with Nanny Smith and would highly recommend.”
“The Nanny Smith has an amazing staff that cares for you from start to finish. I felt extremely appreciated and valued as a nanny. I’m truly grateful to the agency and to be able to continue my passion of helping families these past four years. Without a doubt, I recommend this agency for families and nannies. Thank you Nanny Smith for the perfect fit! I’m truly grateful for all your help.”
“I received kind, thoughtful, hands-on service. They are very patient; other agencies made me feel like I was annoying them every time I had to make a change, or they were just not compassionate about what I wanted for my home. The Nanny Smith was very different from these other agencies but working with the others really made me grateful to have found Shanotte. I found her to be fair (her pricing was fair) and her approach to be refreshing.”
