WHAT WE OFFER
Nanny Counsel is your go-to resource for Nannies & the families who hire them.
We offer professional information, resources, and services to help foster healthy, long term relationships between Parents and Nannies. We believe there are 3 components to an abundantly successful Nanny-Family relationship:
The Nanny, The Family, and Nanny Counsel.
Resources & Job Board
for Families, Nannies, & Agencies
A growing collection of expert tools, templates, and practical resources for navigating the nanny world with confidence. Our curated job board offers families and agencies a way to promote open positions to a wide network of nannies through our website, newsletter, and social platforms.
1:1 Coaching
for Nannies
We recommend nannies take advantage of Brooke’s expertise as a nanny coach. Nannies are invited to schedule a 1:1 coaching session with Brooke. Use these targeted sessions to hone in on your interview skills, resolve work dilemmas, learn how to market yourself, advance your career, and more!
1:1 Consulting
for Families
Full service Nanny placement can get expensive. A consulting session with Brooke is a great alternative – book a session and walk through the Nanny-hiring process with Brooke as your guide. She’ll show you how to start your nanny search and advise you
along the way.

“We are so happy we chose to work with Nanny Counsel to find our nanny!
We had high expectations in regards to the level of nanny we were looking for, and had tried using a few other agencies but were unsuccessful. Brooke and Nanny Counsel more than delivered. The quality of candidates sent over to us were exactly what we were looking for. In fact, we ended up hiring the first nanny we interviewed! Brooke took care of everything from creating a detailed job description to customizing a work agreement between our family and new nanny. The entire process was seamless and I cannot recommend Nanny Counsel enough.”
