Being a parent is stressful. Finding quality childcare doesn’t have to be.

Finding the right childcare provider can be an all-consuming task. For busy working parents, that’s just another thing on your already overflowing plate. But, what if you’re not comfortable turning over the decision to a large, impersonal agency? We’ve got the answer.

Nannies by Sarah was started by a mom who faced all these challenges and wanted to create a solution. It’s a mom-owned and operated nanny placement service. We take the time to get to know you and understand your needs. Then, we spend countless hours interviewing and researching to find your nanny match. From one parent to another, let us help you find the right nanny for your family.

We help families in the Washington DC-Metro area find a great childcare match—whether full-time, part-time or after-school—conveniently, affordably, and with a personal touch.

TESTIMONIALS

Testimonials

Sarah is very professional and thorough. She took the time to understand what our needs were and shared very detailed and useful evaluations on our options… I have not hesitated to refer her agency to everyone I know.  Read more

—  Helena of Chevy Chase, DC, mother of 2

Working with Sarah had the feeling of working with an old friend. Within days of our initial call, Sarah had three names for our family. Every candidate was better than the next. She even followed up with us several weeks after we hired our nanny and made sure the match was right! Spoiler alert: It was! And we hope the nanny Sarah found for us will be with our family until our girls go to college. Read more

— Kathleen and Chris of Glover Park, DC parents of 2   

We have three young children and demanding work schedules and needed a specialized person who could help care for the children but also manage our household. I called Sarah and she made the entire process so much better for our family. She was helpful, knowledgeable, and so patient with me as we worked through the process. I cannot recommend her enough — she made a stressful time a thousand times easier. Read more

In addition to the wonderful nanny that Sarah found for us, the best part of working with Sarah was her continued investment in our working relationship with our nanny. I've highly recommended Sarah to friends and colleagues. Read more
