The candidates’ backgrounds, experience, and education vary, with some nannies specializing in infant care while others are well-versed in the needs of elementary school-age children, children with special needs, or even family and household assistance.
Our expert recruiting team searches high and low for top-caliber candidates so that at any time, no matter the request, we will have fantastic nannies available to meet the unique and varied needs of our clients. Whether you are headed back to work after maternity leave and in desperate need of a part-time or full-time nanny, requiring the assistance of an after-school nanny, or looking for a nanny who can jet-set right along with you (24/7) — we’ve got you covered!

Briana Murphy
Founder at Your Nanny Résumé
Briana has served in the childcare industry for about ten years now and has always been passionate about assisting families and providing mentorship, guidance, and support to peers. Over time, she experienced this moment of realization, a type of clarity — an epiphany if you will — life needed to have a higher purpose. She decided to combine her love of childcare with her desire to help others by founding Your Nanny Résumé. It should come as no surprise that many people feel lost when it comes to crafting a (great) résumé. Let’s face it, assembling one that is both professional and compelling is difficult (emphasis on both)! Through her service, she ensures each nanny or babysitter articulates their strongest attributes in an authoritative and well-organized, yet easy-to-read style while maintaining a smooth and informal, polished veneer. She has managed to advise numerous nannies thus far and consistently receives exceptional feedback for making landing that dream position with a stellar family or agency a reality.
