Nanny Agency Services in
Washington, DC

DC households need more than a single caregiver. From long-term nannies to full household management, we match families across DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia with the right kind of support for how their home actually runs.
Every family’s needs look different in this city. A dual-career household in Capitol Hill needs something different than a multi-staff residence in Potomac or a frequently-traveling family in McLean. We built our service model around that reality, not a one-size-fits-all placement.

Your questions answered.

Yes. High-profile and NDA-backed placements are a core part of our work in Washington. Founder Allison Goren spent over a decade as a nanny and newborn care specialist in ultra-high-net-worth households, where discretion was the job, and she vets and trains every DC placement to that standard. Candidates go through background checks, SSN traces, and in-depth interviews, and we match them to homes with public-facing careers, political or diplomatic ties, or media exposure. Our household managers and travel nannies carry the same discretion at home and on the road.
Most DC searches take [X-Y weeks] from your first conversation with us to your nanny’s start date. The timeline depends on the role (full-time, live-in, travel, household manager), your schedule, and how specific your requirements are. Homes with NDAs or unpredictable hours can take a little longer to match well. If you’re on a tight timeline, tell us at the start and we’ll give you a realistic estimate.
We place nannies and household staff across the entire DC metro region:

Washington, DC: Georgetown, Capitol Hill, Kalorama, Logan Circle, Foxhall, Spring Valley, Adams Morgan, Cleveland Park, Dupont Circle, Tenleytown, and City Center.
Maryland: Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Potomac, Friendship Heights, Rockville, Silver Spring, Kensington, Gaithersburg, and The Kentlands.
Northern Virginia: McLean, Arlington, Alexandria, Tysons, Great Falls, Reston, Herndon, Fairfax, Clarendon, Ballston, Court House, Old Town, Del Ray, and Oakton.

Long-term nannies are the foundation of most DC placements. Government, political, and executive schedules shift constantly, so families want a caregiver who stays and works independently. Many also add a household manager, especially in Maryland suburbs like Bethesda and Potomac where homes have multiple staff, or a travel nanny for diplomatic and internationally connected families. Most households combine two roles, and we build the placement plan around the whole home.
Every candidate we place goes through background checks, SSN traces, and in-depth interviews, and we accept fewer than 5% of applicants. A government security clearance isn’t a standard requirement for private household staff. For homes with higher security needs, such as government, diplomatic, or NDA-bound households. Tell us your requirements up front and we’ll match you with candidates who meet them.
A nanny focuses on your children: daily care, routines, activities, and development. A household manager runs the home itself, coordinating the nanny, housekeeper, and driver, managing vendors and household accounts, and keeping the family calendar and travel realistic. In many DC homes the role blends into a family assistant position and can flex into direct childcare. Many households hire both.
