How ANFU helps you secure your ideal job.

Nannying can be beautiful, fun, fulfilling, and sometimes exhausting work.
You get to know a family deeply and help care for their greatest treasures.
You are there for the good and tough days, the giggles and tears.
But who cares for you and helps you navigate issues that arise?

Job Opportunities

Why get a job, when you can join a family?
Our nannies love what they do and they often tell us that they feel cared for and fulfilled.

What Our Clients Are Saying

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A Nanny for U is a wonderful company and would highly recommend! They are so professional and so quickly to respond to you and will always let you know if something has changed in the schedule, they are very on top of things. Everyone there is super sweet and always thinks about others first. They are also very reliable!!

Mia Dickenson

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was so amazed at the responsiveness of this company. They made me feel very welcomed right away! I feel safe and able to ask questions at any time, not to mention so very nice!

Noelle Sirmon

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Going into the nanny field was new to me after so many years in childcare, but ANFU made the process so easy and comfortable for me. Haylee was great at answering all of my daily questions and concerns and I never once felt any hesitation with this agency! When it came to finding me a long term family Rebecca was quick, responsive, and used a lot of care. She took care of all of the hard parts so I could focus on finding the right fit and connection with a family. Would definitely recommend them to any nanny that is looking for a seamless fit with a long term position or any nanny who is looking for flexible back up care work!

Kristen F.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

During my search for a family to nanny for, I came across A Nanny for U. I contacted them, they were super responsive and we had an interview set up soon after! As soon as I walked in their office, I felt comfortable, welcomed and valued for the work I do. Bethany and Rebecca were extremely warm, friendly and dedicated to finding the perfect fit for me, which THEY DID! I love my placement and am extremely happy with the position they found for me. And am pleased by how smooth the process went. Would highly recommend them to both nannies looking for an amazing fit and families who are looking for someone to welcome in to their home. They strive to match nannies and families with a fit that will meet everyone’s needs and desires, and I truly believe they will help you find that just as they did for me.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have used Rebecca and her team to find two amazing nannies for our toddler – one was with us from the time our son was an infant to 2 years old and nanny #2 just started and is already an incredible match.

Joleen Potucek

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have used Rebecca and her team to find two amazing nannies for our toddler. She is exceptional at what she does and if you’re looking for a seamless nanny search process to find a well-qualified “best in class” nanny, A Nanny for U is really the only option in town. Her process to interview and find qualified nannies that are the right fit for your family shows in the quality of candidates she puts forward. I’m honestly so shocked to read a couple of the other reviews that seem almost planted by competitors or something – she’s so good! She just sourced another nanny for us after our first nanny is moving on to start her own family and a real estate career. The bond our first nanny formed with our son has been truly special – and we would have never found her if it were not for Rebecca and her team. We also used A Nanny for U for temp nannies when our permanent nanny is out sick or on vacation. She has sent us incredible care professionals – most that are students going to nursing school or have child care or early education backgrounds. INCREDIBLE. Her process is very direct which i appreciate – she asks our family a bunch of questions about our lives, what are dealbreakers, what are musts — all professionally and i think that process helps her find the right fit for our family. Her team helps with reference and background checks and all the leg work that honestly as a full-time professional i don’t have time to do myself. I’ve had friends that have tried to cut corners and go through Facebook Nanny pages or Care.com (ew) and have had truly awful experiences and have gone through multiple nannies and daycare situations. They handle contract negotiations, pay structure, gauging what level of hourly/salary pay is appropriate for the nanny’s experience, benefits, etc. That part of the process is invaluable. There is no grey area when our nannies started with us – a contract with a year commitment was in hand, terms were agreed upon, both my family and the nanny were excited. It was goodness from the start. Additionally, Rebecca and her team have always been available to me over the past 2 years to answer questions on raises and bonuses, benefits, and contracts. They were prompt and always professional — i never felt that as soon as they got their placement fee they weren’t there for me as a client. They truly care about the families they serve. Yes – it is expensive. It’s worth every penny – this is a company that is sourcing someone to care for your CHILD. Make the investment and hire A Nanny For U – as a mother, it was one of the best choices I’ve made for our family.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I reached out to A Nanny for U looking for a job opportunity and they responded to me extremely promptly. I can tell they really care about the quality of nanny they choose to represent their company, showing a great concern for the families they service.

Mary Heffernan

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A Nanny For U is a fantastic place to work with a great community of women behind it!

Mary H

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I love a Nanny for U, I’ve been working for them for over 3 years. Not only do they look after their families, they take really good care of their nannies too. I have had nothing but great experiences with everyone in the office. ANFU, thank you!

🌟 Client Reviews 🌟

We’re thrilled to share this heartfelt review from one of our valued families:

“A Nanny for U has been incredible! Finding someone you can trust to care for your children can be so stressful—I personally spent hours searching apps and Facebook groups without success. Reaching out to ANFU was the best decision I made. Rebecca and her team are amazing! They take the time to get to know your family, provide multiple vetted candidates, and guide you through the process to find the perfect match.

Thanks to them, we found our incredible long-term nanny, who has been with us for over a year. She’s unbelievably caring, beyond helpful, and most importantly, loves our little boy. On the rare occasion our nanny takes time off, the ANFU team is responsive and supportive, seamlessly arranging short-term care. Their professionalism and dedication have made such a positive impact on our lives. We truly cannot recommend them enough!”*
