Start by filling out our nanny application form. Once submitted, our team will review your application and contact you for an initial interview if your qualifications align with our standards.

Hourly rates vary depending on your qualifications, education, and experience within the industry. Our nannies typically earn $24-$35+ per hour. During the placement process, we’ll work with you and the family to ensure a fair rate based on your experience and the job responsibilities.

We encourage all nannies and families to sign a work agreement that describes responsibilities, compensation, schedules, and other important details. This ensures clarity and protects both parties. We’ll work with you and the family to create an agreement that aligns with everyone’s expectations.

Our relationship with you doesn't end when you accept a position. We invest in our nannies by providing ongoing support, professional guidance, and opportunities to connect with other caregivers through community events like our Nanny Night Out gatherings.

We believe that finding the right nanny job is just the beginning. Our goal is to help you build a rewarding, long-term career by advocating for you, celebrating your successes, and remaining a trusted resource throughout your employment.

If you encounter any issues or concerns, we’re here to help! Reach out to us, and we’ll work with you and the family to address any challenges and find a solution.

We take the time to understand your childcare experience, career goals, schedule, and the type of family you're looking for before recommending opportunities. Rather than sending you every available job, we carefully match you with families who align with your skills, personality, and preferences.

Before every interview, you'll receive detailed information about the family and position so you can make an informed decision. We'll also provide interview guidance and support throughout the hiring process to help you feel confident every step of the way.

Open communication is one of the reasons families and nannies choose to work with us. If questions or concerns arise after placement, we're here to help. We'll listen, offer guidance, and, when appropriate, work with both you and the family to resolve challenges professionally and respectfully.

Our commitment doesn't end on your first day of work. We remain available as a resource because we believe the strongest nanny-family relationships are built with ongoing support.

We require all nannies to have at least two years of professional childcare experience and up-to-date CPR and First Aid certifications. Additional qualifications such as newborn care training, doula certification, or having a degree in early childhood education are a bonus. We’re looking for reliable, compassionate nannies who are passionate about working with children.

No, nannies do not pay to join The Heart State Nanny Agency. Our services are free for nannies. Families cover the agency’s placement fees. Nannies are not employees of the agency. You’ll be hired directly by the family as their employee and receive a W-2. We facilitate the connection and support you through the placement process.

No, you do not need to provide or pay for your own background check. We will conduct a comprehensive background check as part of our vetting process at no cost to you.

We place nannies with families throughout Central Ohio and across the state of Ohio. Many of our nanny jobs are located in Columbus, Dublin, Powell, Upper Arlington, New Albany, Westerville, Worthington, Bexley, German Village, and Granville, but opportunities are not limited to those communities.

Whether you're looking for a full-time nanny job, part-time nanny position, newborn care role, household manager position, or another professional childcare opportunity, we work with families in communities across Ohio. If you're searching for nanny jobs in Central Ohio or anywhere in the state, we'd love to help you find a position that's the right fit for your experience, schedule, and career goals.
