Nannies & Governesses

An excellent Nanny helps make raising a family joyful and stress-free.

Families who demand the highest level of childcare rely on The Wellington Agency’s professional nannies. Our candidates are experienced, nurturing, and adaptable — trusted by discerning parents who expect safety, privacy, and excellence.

Nanny & Governess Services for High Net Worth Families Nationwide

Finding the right nanny requires far more than reviewing resumes. For high net worth households, a nanny must be experienced, discreet, adaptable, and capable of operating within complex family environments. These roles require individuals who understand the expectations of formal households and can integrate seamlessly into private settings where trust, confidentiality, and professionalism are paramount.

The Wellington Agency provides elite nanny and governess placements across the United States. We serve all major cities, with a strong presence in Palm Beach, Miami, New York, Los Angeles, and Santa Barbara. The majority of our clients are high profile, high net worth families who maintain multiple residences both domestically and internationally, requiring childcare professionals who are accustomed to travel, flexibility, and ever evolving schedules.

Professional Nanny Placement Services

We specialize in placing highly qualified childcare professionals, including:

Live-in nannies
⁠Live-out nannies
Rotational nannies
Travel nannies
Infant care specialists
Governesses and private educators

Our candidates are carefully vetted and typically bring extensive experience working in private households, many with backgrounds supporting high profile principals, public figures, and international families. A number of our nannies and governesses hold advanced degrees in education, child development, or related fields, and many are multilingual, allowing them to support language development and cultural exposure within the home.

Beyond formal education, our candidates are selected for their emotional intelligence, discretion, and ability to navigate the dynamics of high-level households. They are confident managing multiple children, coordinating with household staff, traveling globally, and maintaining structure and consistency for children in environments that often require flexibility.

Each placement is thoughtfully tailored to the specific needs of the household, ensuring not only a highly qualified candidate, but a seamless and lasting fit aligned with the family’s lifestyle and values.
