Why Career Nannies Choose to Work with Nanny Agencies
(And Why Top Nannies in Atlanta, Charleston & Charlotte Choose Your Happy Nest)
If you’re a career nanny in Atlanta, GA, Charleston, SC, or Charlotte, NC, you already know that this profession is more than “just a job.” It’s a calling, a long-term career, and a commitment to shaping children’s lives in meaningful ways.
So when it comes to finding your next position, you deserve more than scrolling job boards and hoping for the best.
At Your Happy Nest, we partner with professional, experienced nannies who are serious about their careers, and we help connect them with families who value what they bring to the table.
If you’ve ever wondered whether working with a nanny agency is worth it, here’s why so many career nannies choose to work with agencies, and why so many in Atlanta, Charleston, and Charlotte choose to work with us!
1. Access to Top-Paying Nanny Jobs (Not Posted Elsewhere)
Many of the best nanny positions in Atlanta, GA, Charleston, SC and Charlotte, NC are never publicly posted.
High-profile families, dual-career professionals, and households seeking long-term, experienced nannies often prefer discretion. They rely on established agencies to carefully vet candidates and present only the most qualified professionals.
When you work with Your Happy Nest, you gain access to:
Competitive salaries
Guaranteed hours
Paid time off and holidays
Professional work agreements
Clearly defined job expectations
Long-term, stable placements
These are career-level opportunities with families looking for qualified professional nannies!
2. There Is No Fee for Nannies
One of the biggest misconceptions about working with a nanny agency?
That nannies have to pay to be placed.
At Your Happy Nest, there is absolutely no fee for nannies to work with us.
Our agency is hired by families, not by caregivers. That means:
You never pay a placement fee
You never pay a membership fee
You never pay to access job listings
Instead, we are here to advocate for you, support you, and guide you through the hiring and job search process at no cost.
3. Professional Support Through the Entire Hiring Process
Career nannies choose agencies because they don’t want to navigate complex hiring conversations alone. Nanny careers don’t come with an HR department or someone to guide them through this process. It can be overwhelming to know the best way to negotiate a contract or the most important factors to include. Especially if you have be burned in the past!
When you work with Your Happy Nest, we help you:
Prepare for interviews
Clarify your compensation expectations
Review work agreements
Navigate trial days
Communicate professionally with prospective families
Ensure expectations are aligned on both sides
Especially in competitive nanny markets like Atlanta, Charleston, and Charlotte, having an experienced agency representing you can make all the difference.
We understand local pay rates, family expectations, and current market standards, and where you fit into the equation in regards to salary rates and your experience zso you don’t have to guess.
4. We Advocate for Professional Standards
The nanny industry has evolved significantly over the years. Today’s career nanny is:
Educated and experienced
CPR and First Aid certified
Knowledgeable in child development
Intentional about long-term fit
Focused on professionalism
We work with families who respect nannying as a profession. That means:
Legal pay
Industry-standard benefits
Clear communication
Respect for boundaries
Structured job descriptions
If you’re a career nanny in Atlanta, Charleston, or Charlotte looking for a professional, long-term position, working with a reputable nanny agency helps ensure those standards are met.
5. Confidentiality & Discretion
Many experienced nannies come to us while still employed. Working with an agency allows you to:
Explore new opportunities confidentially
Avoid publicly posting your resume
Keep your job search discreet
For career nannies who value privacy, this is a major benefit.
6. Long-Term Career Relationships
At Your Happy Nest, we don’t just “place” nannies, we build relationships.
Many of our nannies:
Return to us when they have finished a contract. On average, around half of the nannies we are actively working with are returning nannies who come back to Your Happy Nest to find a new position.
Refer fellow professional nannies to our agency
Work exclusively with our agency (Although we don’t require this by any means and encourage nannies to use all sources to find their next role when actively searching for a job. Many of the nannies in our network choose just to work with our agency.)
Because once you’ve worked with an agency that respects and values your career, it’s hard to imagine going back to searching alone.
