Philadelphia Nanny Network: Built on Relationships, Not Algorithms

Philadelphia Nanny Network was founded in 1985 as a local nanny placement agency in Philadelphia. Over 40 years, we grew from a single market into one of the largest child care staffing and placement agencies on the East Coast, serving families, nannies, and businesses across eight states. That growth came from listening to what people needed before the rest of the industry caught on. When families wanted help vetting caregivers they found on their own, we built our Screening Services. When businesses needed reliable backup care for employees, we became one of the region's largest providers. We did not just respond to the market. We helped shape it.

Our founder, Wendy Sachs, is a 2025 Association of Premier Nanny Agencies Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, a founding member and former President of the International Nanny Association, and a nationally recognized voice in the in-home child care industry. That level of expertise shows up in everything we do. We take the time to understand families before we recommend anyone. We validate nannies and handle their references with respect. We build programs for businesses that employees can actually count on. We grew into one of the largest agencies on the East Coast without losing what made us trusted in the first place: real relationships, thoughtful connections, and people who stay involved beyond the placement.

Growth, Innovation, and Industry

1985

Founded in Philadelphia to help working mothers "have it all" by connecting local families in the city and immediate suburbs with live-in nannies recruited from across the country.

1995

Launched temporary nanny services and pioneered the live-out nanny model as the industry standard shifted from live-in to local caregivers.

2005

Became an early adopter of corporate backup care programs and created the Staff Nanny employment model, transforming temporary workers into W2 employees with benefits.

2015

Expanded beyond Philadelphia into New York City and created the Elite Nanny Program, an industry-first employment model offering nannies multiple job structures so they could work the way that fit their lives.

2025

Reached 40 years of industry leadership and three consecutive years on the INC 5000 list, now serving eight states with a full-spectrum model that combines app-level convenience with expert human guidance.

40 Years In. Still Listening. Still Evolving

The industry has changed. Families have changed. Technology has changed. What has not changed is our commitment to listening first, matching with care, and staying involved for as long as you need us.
Whether you need care, work, or employee support, the same expertise that built this agency over four decades is behind every decision we make today.

For Families, For Nannies, For Businesses

Families find care. Nannies find work. Businesses find solutions. All three get the same expertise, personal attention, and commitment to relationships that sets us apart.
