What is +?

The "+" is everything a nanny search usually leaves out

Most nanny searches look the same: scroll a Facebook group, message a dozen people, hear back from three. Ask around and hope someone you trust happens to know the right match — or, when all else fails, lean on family or try to get referrals from them. It's not that families aren't trying hard enough — the system they're using was never actually built for this.

NannyMatch+ was.

The mission

If you don't know me already, I'm Dana. I've spent 15 years on both sides of this — as a busy, proud parent, and as a preschool teacher, then a private nanny myself. I know what it feels like to be one name in a pile of messages, and I know what it feels like as a parent to hand your child to someone you're still not sure you can fully trust yet. So I built the platform I wish existed when I was navigating these challenges.

What the "+" actually means

Real matching, not just replies.

Every family and every nanny gets scored across the things that actually matter — schedule, budget, non-negotiables, working style, experience — so a match means something, not just "who responded first."

Nanny types you didn't know to ask for.

Lead. Collaborative. Support. Most families have never heard these terms, and most don't realize the mismatch they're feeling has a name — and a fix.

Verification that's required, not optional.

Every profile — families and caregivers alike — is required to pass photo-ID verification before it can go live.

Tools that don't stop at the introduction.

A free scheduling tool, a real budget calculator, hours and payroll tracking — built in from day one, whether or not you ever hire through us.

A guarantee that means something.

If a placement doesn't work out, a 90-day replacement guarantee is included on EasyMatch+ and Smart Match+, and Full Concierge's guarantee extends to 180 days — because trust shouldn't run out the moment the first match doesn't land.

After the search

You don't have to know exactly what you're looking for before you start. That's what the matching is for. The "+" is just everything that happens once you stop searching alone.
