Start by filling out our nanny application form. Once submitted, our team will review your application and contact you for an initial interview if your qualifications align with our standards.

We require all nannies to have at least 2 years of professional childcare experience and up-to-date CPR and First Aid certifications. Additional qualifications such as newborn care training, doula certification, or having a degree in early childhood education are a bonus. We’re looking for reliable, compassionate nannies who are passionate about working with children.

No, nannies are not employees of the agency. You’ll be hired directly by the family as their employee and receive a W-2. We facilitate the connection and support you through the placement process.

Hourly rates vary depending on your qualifications and the placement tier selected by the family. Our nannies typically earn $20-$30 per hour. During the placement process, we’ll work with you and the family to ensure a fair rate based on your experience and the job responsibilities.

No, nannies do not pay to join The Heart State Nanny Agency. Our services are free for nannies. Families cover the agency’s placement fees.

We’ll match you with families based on your skills, experience, and preferences. You’ll receive detailed information about each family and their needs before deciding whether to proceed with an interview. We also provide resources to help you shine during the interview process.

We encourage all nannies and families to sign a work agreement that describes responsibilities, compensation, schedules, and other important details. This ensures clarity and protects both parties. We’ll work with you and the family to create an agreement that aligns with everyone’s expectations.

Yes! We’re here to support you even after you’ve been placed. This includes check-ins, resources for professional development, and access to events like our Nanny Night Out gatherings to connect with other nannies.

No, you do not need to provide or pay for your own background check. We will conduct a comprehensive background check as part of our vetting process at no cost to you.

We prioritize building strong, lasting relationships with our nannies. Beyond just matching you with families, we provide ongoing mentorship, professional development opportunities, and a sense of community. We encourage you to have fun and enjoy the company of other nannies around you. We’re here to help you grow and thrive in your nanny career.

If you encounter any issues or concerns, we’re here to help! Reach out to us, and we’ll work with you and the family to address any challenges and find a solution.

We proudly connect nannies with families throughout Columbus, including Dublin, Powell, Upper Arlington, New Albany, Westerville, Granville, Worthington, Bexley, German Village, and other Central Ohio communities.
