Association of Premier Nanny Agencies

The Association of Premier Nanny Agencies (APNA) is a voluntary membership organization that establishes and enforces standards of professional industry practices. Agencies that put their contracts, forms, applications, and policies up for scrutiny by other agencies are a cut above. They are the best of the best. APNA agencies are accountable not only to families, but to their own trade organization, as well. In your search for the perfect nanny, make sure you are working with an APNA agency.

International Nanny Association

The International Nanny Association (INA), a nonprofit organization, serves as the umbrella organization for the in-home child care industry. INA members include nannies, nanny employers, nanny agencies, educators and industry service providers. Since 1985, INA has worked to professionalize the industry by setting high standards for industry professionals and nanny agencies. INA leverages the expertise of industry professionals from around the globe to help increase awareness about the industry, to develop the professional skills of nannies, and to educate parents about the benefits of hiring a qualified nanny to care for their children.

hourly rates and benefits

Net rates in NYC vary greatly based on experience, education, special skills, additional languages, and job responsibilities. Typically, we see hourly net rates between $25–$30 and up. General benefits for full time Nannies often include 2 weeks of paid vacation, a monthly MetroCard, personal & sick days and paid national holidays.
