When time is your most valuable asset, hiring the right family or personal assistant shouldn’t take more of it.
Our busy clients face unique challenges, so we’ve designed a hiring process focused on efficiency and precision. At ABC, we take the work of recruiting, vetting, and shortlisting the best candidates off your hands. Most clients meet just two to three pre-screened professionals and hire within weeks – sometimes faster.
You’ll have peace of mind knowing you’ve hired a skilled, trustworthy assistant who’s ready to step into your routine, understand your preferences and anticipate your needs so you can focus on what truly matters most.
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 a dream – it’s a reality.
A family assistant is an experienced nanny who provides extra support to keep your life running smoothly.
These in-demand superstars will happily provide exceptional childcare, homework support, drive the kiddos to and from activities, do the their laundry, and more. In addition to typical nanny duties, they’ll also coordinate appointments and manage the family calendar, run errands and keep the home organized, grocery shop and assist with meal prep, research camps and find the perfect classes… and more. It’s tailor-made support for your busy family.
Hiring a personal assistant – full-time or part-time – enables busy professionals to operate at their highest potential by handling the small, time-consuming tasks, reducing stress, and allowing them to focus on what they do best.
Your PA can assist with professional tasks such as answering phones, returning emails, researching products, bill pay, and making travel arrangements. They’ll also help with more personalized tasks such as feeding the dog, running errands, putting away holiday decorations, taking the car in for maintenance, unpacking from your last trip and more.
Full-time or part-time, you decide what works and we’ll find the ideal personal assistant for the job.

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!
