For families who need someone who stays, not someone who’s just filling a gap.
Washington runs on unpredictable schedules. Government hours shift with the news cycle, campaign season upends routines for months at a time, and executive households often can’t say with certainty what next Tuesday looks like. A long-term nanny placement is built for that reality: someone who learns your household well enough to operate independently, not someone re-explaining the routine every few weeks.
A long-term nanny placement means matching a family with a caregiver who’s looking for the same thing: stability, not a short-term gig. In DC specifically, that often means a caregiver who can adapt to last-minute schedule changes, understands the discretion many households require, and is comfortable being the steady point in a family’s week even when everything else is shifting.
We look for candidates who’ve already proven they can hold a long-term placement, not just interview well. That’s a different skill than short-term or event-based childcare, and it’s the one that actually determines whether a placement lasts three months or three years.
We’ve GotYour Back
Families who’ve been through a string of short-term or agency-shuffled caregivers usually describe the same relief once a long-term placement is in place.
→ A caregiver who operates independently, without needing daily direction.
→ Consistency through Washington’s unpredictable government and political calendars.
→ A nanny who’s already demonstrated long-term reliability in past placements, not just interviewed well.
→ Someone who becomes a steady, trusted presence for your child over years, not months.
Some Of Our Responsibilities Include:
Full-Time & Live-In Care

The Pink Nannies team impressed me at the 'Paint The Town Pink' event in Silver Spring by hosting an open panel and answering the tough questions. In a city where conversations often feel transactional, the team showed genuine interest in everyone who came. Allison called me after the event and asked thoughtful follow-up questions (...)

Pink Nannies is such a wonderful agency. They care a lot about their nannies and they’re very responsive. If you need full time, part-time, or a temporary position/work they are sure to find you just what you need. I’ve met a wonderful family through them that I still keep in touch with. (...)
Pink Nannies is amazing! As a nanny I am so thankful to have worked with such a professional, caring group of experts! The team is great at advocating on your behalf, guiding you through the process and teaching you great resume skills! (...)
Yes, a written work agreement is standard practice for long-term placements. It sets out pay, hours, duties, time off, and expectations for both sides, which protects the family and the nanny and prevents misunderstandings later. For DC homes with NDAs or heightened discretion needs, it’s also where confidentiality terms are spelled out. Pink Nannies guides families through structuring the agreement as part of the hiring process.
A long-term placement is built around stability. Temporary or backup care fills a gap, while a long-term nanny learns your household well enough to work independently without re-explaining the routine every few weeks. In DC, that means someone who adapts to last-minute schedule changes, understands the discretion many homes require, and stays steady through shifting government, campaign, and executive calendars. That consistency is what lets a child build a trusted relationship over years, not months. We also screen for it: we look for candidates who have already held long-term placements, not just ones who interview well.
