Testimonials

"I just wanted to thank you and all the other ladies for helping me find a nanny position. I have fallen in love with the two families I am working for. Everything has worked out so well and I could not be any happier! Caring for both of the infants has been a full time job, but both mothers have gone above and beyond to make it so easy for me. I already feel a close connection with both of these families. I cannot thank you enough! I have been spreading the word to all my girlfriends about how wonderful Nannies from the Heart is. Working with y'all has been such a WONDERFUL blessing!"

"I have been here from the beginning and a lot has changed. When Rebecca took over it was awesome! I am always proud to say I work for Nannies from the Heart and I am always trying to recruit other child care givers. This is the best experience in the industry. You always know what you are walking into, that makes everything flow a lot smoother for all parties. Being a mom myself I really appreciate the process NH goes through for the nannies and the families both. Thank you so much for being Fabulous!!"

"I can't begin to tell you how excited I am! I am so glad to be under your agency! I learned my lesson....should have stuck with you guys when I was job hunting in July. NEVER EVER again will I accept a job outside of an agency! Thanks again to you and Wendy for helping me secure this job. Look forward to being a Nannies from the Heart nanny!!"

"I chose Nannies from the Heart because it is an awesome company that caters to the nanny's needs, as well as the family's needs. My interview with Rebecca showed me that she wanted the best for her employees and families, which is very important when working with children. I also found that it was very convenient to be able to respond to jobs that interested me by email. I like how I got a job that fits perfectly with my school schedule, and I also get to work with an amazing family that really cares about their child. I have had a great experience with Nannies from the Heart because it is such a flexible environment, and the families are wonderful that I have had the chance to work for thus far. Nannies from the Heart has made getting a fantastic, reliable job with children enjoyable for both the family and the nanny."

"I registered with NH because I was tired of working for places that had me caring for 8 children or more. I wanted a more personal setting. I picked NH out of the yellow pages. I have a family that I have been with for about three months and we all get along very well. But most of all I loved how I did not have to do all the searching myself. It's so nice to have the jobs come to ME instead of hunting around. I know that the families have been informed about industry standards and the negotiation process. The negotiation process is simpler, friendlier and more comfortable for me because of agency."

"I love Rebecca and Rob! They have both been so great to me! I came to Austin as a total stranger and they helped me so much by helping me find a job here. They were friendly and welcoming from day one and have proved a wonderful resource every time I've needed them since. I would (and often do!) highly recommend them to prospective nannies and families. Their agency offers a personal, one-on-one approach to their clients and their service to the industry is invaluable! Personally, I chose Nannies from the Heart because I felt like it was a lot more personal than some of the larger nanny services. I felt that Nannies from the Heart really cared about my needs as a nanny along with the families needs and they do their best to make a successful match between a nanny and a family. I would highly recommend anyone to register with Nannies from the Heart."

Letter from Amy Augustyniak, former Nanny of the Year:

"I have been in the childcare industry for over ten years, and a professional nanny for four. Over the course of my career, I have found nanny positions through various means: newspapers, online search engines, word of mouth references, and nanny agencies. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the most positive experiences I’ve had were those from the agencies. When you go through the paper, internet, or by word-of-mouth, you have no idea what kind of home you are stepping into.

There’s comfort to be had in knowing that the family has been screened by a neutral party. The agencies provide the families with valuable information about being household employers, taxes, and how to treat their nannies which most people wouldn’t have a clue about otherwise.

Caring for other peoples’ children is such an intimate job. We as nannies really put ourselves out there for our work families. I think that makes us vulnerable in ways that most other kinds of careers don’t. The agencies provide us with a solid foundation to which we can turn with questions, concerns, and needs for support. They are staffed by experienced childcare professionals who know how to lend a hand, an ear, or a shoulder when called for. In a role in which we have no manager to intercede between us and our work families, the agencies are there to guide us, protect us, and help us.

Having been a nanny in the Northeast for many years, coming to Austin was a huge change in both lifestyle and career atmosphere. The nanny industry in Central Texas is absolutely ideal. There are plenty of great jobs, salaries are competitive, and the cost of living is low (compared to the other parts of the country where nannies are common). On top of all that, it’s a wonderful place to raise children-people are friendly, the weather is warm and there a million and ten great things to do around town with kids!

I have worked with more than one of the nanny agencies here in Austin in the two years I have lived here, and they have all been wonderful resources for me. Being new to the area, they provided me with the means to quickly jump in and find work with quality families. Nannies from the Heart shines as the most personalized of these agencies. I feel that their staff took the time to get to know me as a person, and understand my goals as a professional caregiver. I also think that their clientele tend to be more down-to-earth, friendly people, rather than the high-profile, competitive types who chose to go through other agencies.

It is my opinion that when it comes to children, status means little to them. They don’t care which agency their nanny came from! What matters most is that they have a caregiver who is caring, fun, and one who fits with their family’s style and values. That relationship is most likely to arise if an agency takes the time to get to know the family and nanny well: they can make better matches that way.

Being a nanny can be a challenging and rewarding experience. It can also be disastrous, frustrating, and painful. Using local nanny agencies is the smartest move a nanny can make to ensure that he or she is placed in a safe and happy work environment. In Austin, the resources provided by the agencies really make a difference in our lives. I have really loved my experience with Nannies from the Heart and I recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone seeking employment or great childcare."
