the right nanny for your family makes life easier.
CHARLOTTE Nanny Agency
Helping families in Charlotte, Lake Norman, and surrounding communities find professional nannies and family assistants.
You Have Enough on Your Plate. Finding the Right Nanny Shouldn't Be One More Thing.
Between demanding workdays, uptown commutes, extracurricular activities, and everything else that comes with raising a family, finding dependable childcare can feel like another full-time job.
You want more than someone who can simply manage the schedule. You want a professional who understands your children, respects your parenting approach, and becomes a trusted part of your family’s daily life.
That's exactly what we are here to help you find.
There's a Difference Between Finding a Nanny and finding the right nanny.
You know your children better than anyone. We know what it takes to find someone who will care for them with the same thoughtfulness, attention, and professionalism you do.
Since 2001, Preferred ChildCare has helped North Carolina families navigate one of the most personal hiring decisions they will make.
Our comprehensive 12-tier screening process, experienced recruitment team, and personalized matching approach allow us to look beyond the résumé to find a nanny whose experience, personality, and values truly align with your family.
Because finding the right nanny is not simply about filling a position. It is about finding the right person for your family.
