Your family deserves a professional who’s patient and caring, proactive and reliable, consistent and dedicated to supporting your family. Finding them isn’t as easy as it seems, but that’s where we come in.

Our vast network of quality candidates, and 30-year history of successful match-making, sets us apart from the rest. We’ll help you find the right person, and quickly.
And we’re here for our clients during their search and after they hire, too. Our experienced staff will provide market-specific education, sound advice, and speedy replacements if things don’t go exactly as planned (yep, it can happen to anyone). So, whether you need an experienced nanny – live in or live out – or a proactive family assistant, we’ve got you covered.
A nanny is more than a childcare provider, and more than a babysitter, they are your partner in parenting.
A great nanny brings structure, balance and consistency. They’re invested in your child’s well-being, development and education. They’re also invested in supporting your family – including you.
You can count on them to follow your child’s daily schedule, research and plan educational, engaging activities, prepare the kid’s meals, do their laundry, keep the house tidy, and work alongside you to keep your life running smoothly.
Full-time or part-time, live-in or live-out, a great nanny is worth their weight in gold.
Imagine a life where your children are happy, your to-do list is a breeze, and you have time for what truly matters. With our family assistant services, it’s not just a dream – it’s a reality waiting to happen.
Think of a family assistant as an experienced nanny who also provides extra support around the home. These in-demand superstars will happily provide engaging care, homework support, drive the kiddos to and from activities, do the their laundry, and more. In addition, you can count on your family assistant to coordinate appointments and manage the family calendar, run errands and keep the home organized, assist with meal planning and research camps, classes and more. It’s tailor-made support for your busy family.
Searching for a dependable, personalized childcare solution for your special needs child? Hiring an experienced, compassionate nanny to help is the ideal solution for many families.
Our nannies understand every family is unique and every child has different needs. And while our caregivers are as diverse as the families they work for, they have one thing in common: a passion for helping all children grow and develop to their full potential.
Many of our nannies have experience with non-medical care for children with developmental and physical delays, speech and language disorders, ADD/ADHD, children on the Autism Spectrum (ASD), with Down syndrome and more. They’ll work closely with you to understand your children’s needs (and will care for siblings too), routines and preferences, and to provide the care and support your family needs to thrive.
Are you considering a full-time nanny for your little one(s), but finding that the hourly compensation is outside of your childcare budget? We get it. But, you don’t have to give up on the idea of hiring a nanny altogether. Rather, consider forming a nanny share.
A nanny share is when two like-minded families, with similar needs, schedules and preferences, share the services of a single nanny. By sharing a nanny, families can split the cost of the nanny’s salary, benefits, and other expenses, making it an economical option compared to hiring individually.
Moreover, nanny share can provide socialization and educational opportunities for children, as they get to interact with other children, learn together, and build new friendships.
It’s personalized care with an affordable price tag. You select the family you want to share with – we’ll do the rest!
As mothers, former nannies, and placement specialists we understand how important finding the right long-term match is. It’s not easy, but our team will make it easy as possible for you.
We’ll do the tedious and time-consuming work of screening through dozens of candidates for your position, hand-pick the best available childcare professionals for you to interview, and once you’ve met the right person for your family, we’ll guide you through the hiring process and beyond.

Our three decades of success stem from a multi-faceted approach to candidate recruitment. While we leverage every recruiting resource available, a remarkable 50+% of our yearly placements consist of repeat candidates (on their 2nd, 3rd, or 4th+ placement) and word-of-mouth referrals.
Our comprehensive and curated network of candidates – is a result of 30+ years supporting our local nanny community through regular networking and educational events – ensures we not only attract new talent but also maintain lasting relationships with exceptional candidates in the market. By fostering trust and delivering unparalleled service, we’ve become the go-to agency for both candidates and families seeking the long-term childcare positions.
As a result of our connections we’re able to hand-select the best candidates available in the marketplace and curate an elite group dedicated to delivering top-quality care to our clients.
Yes – ABSOLUTELY! Vetting and identifying great candidates is about so much more than checking a few references and running a cheap online background check. Our rigorous applicant screening process, refined over three decades, is designed to identify individuals who have the passion, character, and experience needed to do the job well and weed out the rest. Less than 10% of applicants make the cut.

Great question! Successful nanny shares are a great way to get the low-ratio, high-quality childcare you want for your child(ren) while splitting the costs with another family. That being said, finding the right family to share care with is imperative. It’s important to ensure all parents in the share get are compatible and on the same page regarding in-home care.
After many years of trying, we’ve found it’s truly best if families come to us with a share already established. And while we don’t match families, we do place nannies in existing shares and provide support and guidance for those who are considering creating a nanny share. Check out our blog on Tips for a Successful Nanny Share.
Great question! Rates vary based on the needs of your family, your specific job requirements, and the level of education, experience and expertise required for the position. While there are many variables to consider, we typically see families paying the following:
– Nannies: $28 – $35+ per hour
– Family Assistants: $30 – $37+ per hour
– Nanny Shares: $5++ on top of standard nanny rates
Hourly rates tend to be a few dollars an hour less in the Fort Collins / NOCO metro area, and in/around Colorado Springs. Alternatively, candidates in Boulder and the mountain areas typically make at least a few dollars per hour more.
Our consultants are happy to help you establish an appropriate pay range for your position to ensure you attract the right candidates for the job.
With few exceptions, the IRS considers most nannies, nanny managers, and family assistants household employees, not independent contractors (W2 vs 1099). When you hire the perfect person, you’ll be the employer and will be responsible for paying your new employee, withhold taxes, paying employer taxes and more.
But not to worry – it’s not as complex as it sounds. We’re happy to refer you to several reputable, affordable tax and payroll companies who will make payroll and tax compliance a breeze.
Unlike daycares and childcare centers that often have substantial waitlists – some upwards of 6-12+ months – hiring through ABC is much quicker. While it’s advisable to start your search earlier rather than later, 3-4+ weeks lead time is ideal for most positions.
Starting early allows us ample time to recruit specifically for your position, and ensures you have plenty of time to interview potential matches and make a well-informed decision without feeling rushed.
But not to worry, if you’re short on time, we can help you too!
At ABC, our commitment extends beyond the initial placement. We’re here to help anytime you need us, whether that’s a few weeks, a few months, or a few years in. If issues arise, our dedicated team will work closely with both parties to find a swift, effective solution. Our goal is to help facilitate harmonious, enduring placements. And when it’s it’s time for a change, we’ll be there for you then, too!
