Why should you place your search with Seattle Nanny over any other option available? Our re-placement rate is exceptionally low due to the client-employee stability we establish from the start. Our one week free trial before hire allows you to make the most solid hiring choice by insuring total compatibility. There is an emotional and financial cost associated with making the "wrong hire". We save you time and money by expertly filtering through the marketplace to provide you with only top quality, pre-screened candidates who are best suited to your detailed requirements. Since 1997 the dedicated staff of our locally owned and operated business has placed thousands of household professionals, paving the way for a superior industry reputation.

We seek out the finest candidates for your family, just like we would for our own families. A permanent nanny typically agrees to a minimum of one year and will work either full time or part time. We also offer temporary sitters.
