Childcare Selection, Nanny Placement & Caregiver Management

Finding the right nanny or childcare solution is overwhelming—and most families choose wrong because they don’t know how to hire, screen, or manage caregivers.

I wrote The Secrets of the Nanny Whisperer and created the Care Map Method™ to make hiring easy, safe, and successful.

What Makes This Different

Most agencies sell you a person.
I teach you a process.

You receive:

  • A Care Map™ showing exactly what your child needs

  • A job post that attracts the right caregiver

  • Screening & interview tools

  • A structured trial day

  • Onboarding system

  • Weekly management tools

I Also Work Directly With Nanny Agencies

In addition to working with families, I partner with nanny agencies and newborn care specialist groups to help them finalize searches and match the right caregiver to the right role.

Agencies bring me in when:

  • A family has complex emotional, developmental, or behavioral needs

  • The search is stalled or mismatched

  • A family needs clearer expectations or role definition

  • A caregiver needs support integrating into a home

  • A family wants expert confirmation before hiring

Agencies use the Care Map Method™ to ensure the caregiver they place is the correct match and that the relationship succeeds long-term.

Who I Help

  • Families hiring nannies or sitters

  • Families needing infant or toddler specialists

  • Parents experiencing caregiver turnover

  • Families needing a full childcare system (routines, discipline, communication)

  • Agencies wanting expert guidance for complex placements

Immediate Results

Most families understand what type of caregiver to hire within one consultation, saving months of frustration and costly mistakes.
