Being an independent contractor as a nanny can be challenging.

At Nestly, we handle all that for you, so you can focus on your job, worry-free.

  • Clear Employment Terms: Written job descriptions and clear expectations eliminate ambiguity, ensuring both the nanny and family have a mutual understanding of duties. Structured procedures for resolving workplace issues offer added support and protection.

  • Networking & Support: As a W2 nanny, you’ll gain access to a network of colleagues and professional support through our formal employment structure.

Reliable Transportation

As a nanny, reliable transportation is crucial for ensuring children's safety and well-being. It allows you to take children to activities, appointments, and respond to emergencies, while also showcasing your professionalism and reliability to parents. Having your own transportation offers flexibility to adapt to busy family schedules and enhances your ability to provide optimal care.

2 Years Childcare Experience

In order to uphold our high standards of care, all nannies and sitters must possess a minimum of 2 years of childcare experience. This criterion ensures that our clients receive the best and most qualified professionals to look after their loved ones.
