“Modern Minders is the type of full-service boutique agency that you fantasize about as a nanny looking for a job, or a parent looking for a nanny. It is rare to find people this emotionally attuned, socially savvy, and financially aware in one package. And even rarer to find them focused on creating the best possible childcare matches.

Modern Minders was recommended by one of my all-time favorite co-nannies, whom I met while working for an all-time favorite client. And still, I did not realize the level of care I was walking into.

Kate and Lizzy are matchmakers. They listen to what their clients want and need, listen even more deeply for what they may not be aware they are looking for, and, after careful vetting and consideration, make introductions.

One of my first conversations with Kate she had to jump on another call with a nanny in crisis in Europe. I’ve always wanted to work with an agency that would hold my hand like that. And when I found myself in need of perspective months later, while I was working in Europe, Kate took my call in the middle of the night and talked me back to the joy of my reality.

Because really, that’s what Modern Minders did for me. They looked at my skills and experience, listened to what I was looking for, and found me a job I absolutely love. Where my life is beautiful. I have tremendous respect for the parents I am working for. I feel useful, and I feel valued. My co-workers share similar beliefs about the work ethic of household staff, and it’s pretty much a day at the beach 97% of the time.

And again, unlike other agencies, Modern Minders doesn’t just place staff and dash. They monitor the satisfaction of everyone involved and, if needed, step in to troubleshoot, going above and beyond anything I would ever have expected.”

“I’ve been a nanny in NYC for the last 6 years. I’ve never met an agency owner as approachable and easy to converse with as Kate from Modern Minders. The attention to detail in job listings combined with ease and frequency of communication is incredible. When interviewing for a family, she offered details and coaching to help me be successful; I will always be grateful for the experience I had working with Modern Minders!

“Kate and Modern Minders are exceptional. I was extremely anxious about finding a nanny for our family and Kate knocked it out of the park with our current nanny. She has been with us for almost year and I never imagined finding someone as special as we did. Not only did Kate find us the perfect person but she did so quickly even with all of the questions and concerns we initially had. I have recommended her services to a number of friends and family because she really did change our lives!

“Throughout my job search, I have engaged with multiple agencies and identified three as my top choices, with Modern Minders ranking as my favorite. Among all the agencies, Modern Minders stood out for their exceptional friendliness and kindness. They took the time to understand my profile. Despite my 22 years of nanny experience, searching for a new family placement can be stressful. However, Kate from Modern Minders significantly alleviated this stress. Their vetting process is rigorous, as they exclusively work with top-notch, experienced nannies. Once you successfully navigate this process, you are welcomed into the Modern Minders family. As a nanny, I felt privileged to be part of their candidate pool, and I believe any family would be fortunate to work with them, as they only collaborate with the most experienced nannies. Thank you, Kate, for transforming what could have been a potentially stressful experience into a positive one. Your exceptional service and professionalism truly made a significant impact.
