Why Become A Nestly Nanny?

Nestly simplifies childcare so you can focus on your career. Independent contracting can be stressful, tracking hours, saving for taxes, ensuring fair pay, and handling non-care tasks. Nestly handles all of that for you, so you can care for children worry-free.

  • Stable Income and Tax Benefits: Enjoy consistent, regular paychecks for financial stability and easier budgeting.

  • Eliminating job hunting: Consistent access to premium, pre-screened families—so you spend less time job-hunting and more time doing meaningful childcare.

  • Clear Employment Terms: Written job descriptions and clear expectations ensuring both the nanny and family have a mutual understanding of duties.

  • Job Security and Stability: W2 status offers greater job security with formal contracts and labor-law protections like minimum wage and overtime.

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 professional childcare experience.
