What great means
Get home to a happy child and a tidy space.
The caregiver compromise.
With your child
You wanted someone bright, curious, fluent - who turns a stroller walk into a vocabulary lesson and a snack into a small ritual of care. Instead you're handed sweet, well-meaning, going through the motions. Or worse: flaky, distracted, in it for the paycheck. Your child deserves more than someone watching the clock.
In your home
You come home and your real job begins. Dishes in the sink. Laundry on the chair. A half-eaten dinner. You wanted to read your child a book - instead you're folding socks at 9:42pm. The mental load doesn't end at 6. It just changes hands.
The right partner.
With your child
Educated. Early-career teachers, graduate students, professionals who chose this work because they love it. Warm and experienced. Responsible and stimulating. The kind of person who notices your child is suddenly into dinosaurs and shows up Monday with three books and a plan.
In your home
She doesn't just watch your child - she runs your home alongside you. Dishes done. Laundry folded. Tomorrow's lunchbox packed. Your second shift, quietly absorbed before you turn the key. No juggling. No invisible third job. No resentment at the door.
What we do
An exceptional caregiver may not cost more. Finding one is the hard part.
We do the work most agencies skip - and the work no agency does at all.
01 · Discover
We get to know your family.
Your routines, your values, your hopes. You can tell us all the details you want - we will account for everything.
02 · Interview
Our caregivers go through a technical interview.
Education, experience, credentials. Every technical skill is thoroughly checked.
03 · Verify
Background, references, credentials.
Comprehensive checks, deep reference calls, credential reviews. Nothing assumed.
04 · Vibe check
Skills matter. So does chemistry.
The hardest thing to screen for is the easiest to feel. We trust the room - and so do you.
05 · Match
The few who truly fit.
We hand-select a small slate - never a flood of resumes. Every introduction is intentional.
06 · Manage
Contracts, payroll, check-ins.
We draft the contract and recommend a payroll provider - benchmarks included, every step explained.
Built by parents
We built the help we wanted for our own families.
Mira and David are parents to six children between them. After living through caregiver transitions themselves, they built noonoo around careful listening, rigorous screening, and the belief that the right fit changes life at home.
Why we built noonooQuestions families ask
Know what happens before you begin.
- What does a nanny placement agency do?
- A nanny placement agency helps define the role, find candidates, screen their experience, and guide the family through interviews and hiring. noonoo adds a small intentional shortlist and ongoing support through a membership.
- How is noonoo different from a caregiver marketplace?
- A marketplace gives you profiles to browse. noonoo gives you a dedicated agent who learns what your family needs, searches and screens candidates, and introduces the few who genuinely fit.
- How does noonoo screen caregivers?
- Our process includes interviews, reference calls, background checks, and credential review. We also look at judgment, communication, warmth, and the fit between a caregiver and your household.
- What kinds of caregivers can noonoo help me find?
- noonoo helps families find nannies, babysitters, after-school caregivers, newborn care specialists, and overnight care. We shape the search around the role your family actually needs.
- How much does the noonoo membership cost?
- Membership is $69 month to month. An annual option is $480 per year, equivalent to $40 per month. Caregiver compensation, payroll, taxes, and paid trials are separate.
- What happens if our needs change?
- While your membership is active, we can update the role and search again if the fit is wrong or your family's needs change.
