Nanny Placement for Long Term and Seasonal Care
A nanny is a trusted childcare professional who supports a child’s daily care, emotional well being, and healthy development within a family’s home. Nannies provide consistent, attentive care and often become a valued long term presence in a family’s life.
There are many types of nannies, each with different areas of focus and experience. Some specialize in newborn and infant care, while others support toddlers, school aged children, or children with specific developmental needs. Many nannies bring additional training in child development, early childhood studies, education, or related fields, allowing them to thoughtfully support children through different stages of growth while adapting to the unique rhythm of each household.
So… What is a Nanny?
Hiring a Nanny.
Caregiver recruitment holds a deeply personal place at The Grocery Store, The Anti-Agency. Our founder, Masha, spent many years working in - and alongside - caregiving roles herself. That firsthand experience shapes every aspect of how we approach nanny placements today. We understand the responsibility, trust, and emotional investment involved, not only from the family’s perspective, but from the caregiver’s as well.
We take a highly personalized approach, partnering closely with families to understand household dynamics, values, and long term needs. Every nanny we represent is carefully vetted and brings proven experience working in private homes, ensuring placements that are both thoughtful and enduring.
To begin the hiring process, we invite you to connect for a consultation.

What Type of Nanny Is Right for Your Family?
Every household operates differently, which is why identifying the right nanny begins with understanding your family’s lifestyle, values, and priorities. Some families benefit from a nanny with a strong educational focus or tutoring experience, while others require someone comfortable traveling frequently or managing fast paced, ever changing schedules. For certain homes, a calm and steady presence is ideal; for others, a highly energetic and proactive caregiver is the best fit.
Household structure also plays an important role. Families with additional staff may seek a nanny who collaborates seamlessly as part of a team, while others prefer a confident professional who works independently and anticipates needs with minimal oversight.
Beyond core childcare responsibilities, many experienced nannies bring specialized skill sets that allow them to support families in more tailored ways. Depending on your family’s needs, lifestyle, and stage of life, one or more of the following childcare specializations may be appropriate:
Full-Time Nanny
Part-Time Nanny
Families often begin with a general search and refine as their needs become clearer. Our role here, is to help bring clarity as those needs take shape.
Why Work With a Nanny Agency?
Making the Most of Your Time
Finding the right caregiver is a deeply personal process - and one that takes time. A nanny agency helps families navigate this journey with care, drawing on real world caregiving experience to recognize strong matches early on. Sourcing, screening, and interviews are handled with attention and intention, so families are introduced only to caregivers who are genuinely well suited to their household.
Support Through Every Step
A professional nanny agency acts as a steady guide throughout the hiring process. Families receive clear, detail oriented support with compensation, schedules, benefits, and employment considerations, helping ensure each placement is thoughtful, transparent, and built for long-term success.
Experience That Makes a Difference
The most successful placements come from truly understanding how a household works. By taking the time to learn a family’s routines, values, and needs, a nanny agency can thoughtfully match caregivers who will thrive in that environment. Here at The Grocery Store, this consultative, experience driven approach allows for lasting placements built on trust, discretion, and mutual respect.
