Since 2013
Great Childcare is Life-Changing.
We Help You Find It.
At Brooklyn Manny & Nanny, we connect New York families with exceptional nannies and household staff who become a real part of your daily life. Our placement specialists take the time to understand your family - your kids, your values, your schedule - and match you with vetted candidates who actually fit.
From the initial consultation through background screening, interviews, and trial periods, we manage every step. No guesswork, no stress. Just a thoughtful matching process that gets it right.
Our Services
Full-Time Nannies
Finding a full-time nanny is about more than matching schedules - it's about welcoming someone into your household who becomes part of the family. We take the time to understand your lifestyle, parenting philosophy, and the specific needs of your children, then source candidates who are the right fit on every level. Every full-time candidate is background-checked, personally interviewed, and presented with a detailed profile before you ever meet them.
Family Assistants & Household Staff
A family assistant does more than childcare - they help keep your household running. We also place housekeepers, house managers, private chefs, and additional household professionals. Every candidate is selected for reliability, discretion, and a genuine commitment to making your life easier.
Part-Time & After-School Nannies
Even part-time childcare has to be exceptional. Whether you need afternoon coverage, after-school pickup, or a few consistent days per week, we match you with experienced nannies who can seamlessly integrate into your family's rhythm. Same rigorous vetting, same personalized approach - just on a flexible schedule.
Elder Companions
We connect families with compassionate, experienced, non-medical caregivers for elderly loved ones - offering companionship, support with daily activities, and peace of mind that the people you love are in good hands.
Newborn Care Specialists & Postpartum Doulas
The early weeks with a newborn are some of the most beautiful - and most exhausting. Our Newborn Care Specialists provide expert overnight and daytime support for sleep, feeding, and bonding. We also place postpartum doulas, and many families don't realize their employer benefits can cover this care. We'll help you navigate that.
Specialized Mannies, Private Educators & Special Needs Care
From carefully selected male mentors who bring positive energy and unique perspectives, to credentialed private educators and compassionate special needs caregivers - we match your family with the specific expertise your children need to thrive.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a nanny cost in New York?
Full-time nanny rates in NYC typically range from $25-50/hour ($52,000-$140,000 annually) depending on experience, credentials, and responsibilities.

How is Brooklyn Manny & Nanny different from other New York nanny agencies?
We're a boutique placement agency; not a staffing service. We don't send you a list of strangers. We personally interview every candidate, learn about your family on a real level, and only present people we'd trust with our own kids. Clients tell us our consultations feel more like family counseling than a business meeting, and we take that as the highest compliment.
What areas of New York do you serve?
We place nannies and household staff throughout all five NYC boroughs, Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk Counties), Westchester County, the Hudson Valley, and the rest of New York State. We also serve families in New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, and nationwide.
How long does the placement process take?
Most families begin meeting candidates within the first week or two after completing onboarding. The full process. From consultation to hire typically takes a few weeks, depending on your family's specific needs and timeline.
Do you run background checks on nannies?
Yes. Every candidate we present has been personally interviewed by our team. Full criminal background checks and reference verification are conducted once a candidate receives an offer. We also offer motor vehicle reports and enhanced verification for high-compensation placements.
