Hi everyone! It’s Laura back with my latest video. Nannies and sitters, this video is especially for you!
(Parents – the next episode of our “Working With A Nanny From A-Z” series will be published next week.)
Did you know that if you are offering childcare in the Puget Sound region, you can join our community totally FREE?
Many nannies and sitters think you have to pay a membership fee to access the tools and resources we offer on our site. Previously, we did test a monthly membership fee for nannies but scrapped that idea early last year due to the COVID pandemic.
I know that many of you nannies are super busy so I made a short video explaining the benefits of joining our community. Click here to check it out!
One membership benefit that is becoming more and more popular is the personal support that we offer childcare providers in our community. Our team can help you find a family, understand nanny industry standards, and even talk through issues you may be having with your current family (important to note that we don’t provide legal advice). All of this is included with your membership!

Hi everyone, Laura from Nanny Parent Connection here.
Nannies and sitters, did you know that if you are located in the Greater Puget Sound region, you can join Nanny Parent Connection for free. It’s true, It’s completely FREE! It doesn’t require a credit card to join, and it’s free for life!
So, why join our community?
We have the most families seeking care providers in the Seattle/Bellevue area. We have over 10,000 parent members, and more joining each day. No matter what it is you are looking for, chances are we have the right family for you.
Do you need to figure out what hourly rate to ask for a position? Or maybe you have a question about your contract or guaranteed hours.
As a member of Nanny Parent Connection, we are here to help you with any questions you may have about working as a nanny, finding families, anything like that! We’ve got your back!
You also get access to all of the tools and resources on our website.
This includes our Job Board, Member Search tool, Last Minute Care Service, and Library. All of these resources are included in your free membership!
I invite you to check out our website to learn more about the tools and resources available with your free membership.
Here’s how to sign up, I will walk you through the process and it’s super easy! It only takes about two minutes.
From the home page, you want to select the “For Care Providers” tab at the top of the page.
Next, choose “Providers Sign Up Here” on the menu. Then, “Click Here To Join For Free” button.
Then, you will answer the profile questions on the next page.
These profile questions allow parents to find your profile within our system.
Make sure to include a profile photo to help convey professionalism and attention to detail.
Enter your Name, Address, Email, etc., and click “Sign Up”.
That’s it, easy peasy! You are now ready to start connecting with families immediately!
And, here is a pro tip nannies:
Keep an eye on your email. This is because, whenever you receive a new message from a family via Nanny Parent Connection, you will receive an email notifying you that you have a new message.
Once you are signed up, make sure to spend some time browsing around our website to check out all the tools and resources that are available to you.
These tools and resources include our Member Search Tool, where you can filter parents seeking childcare by location, pay rates, desired experience level, and much more. You will also see Suggested Matches at the top of the page. This is a new tool where an algorithm that we have built “matches” you with parents that are looking for a nanny or sitter that matches your profile.
Maybe you want to pick up a “date night” shift or additional childcare hours when you are available. Make sure to check out our “Care Calendar” where you can post your availability and fill your schedule whenever you like.
Our “Last Minute Care System” is an excellent way to pick up additional shifts as well. When parents in our community have an urgent child care need, they fill out a quick form which is instantly sent via text message to all of the nannies and sitters who are registered for the service.
Nannies, you do need to sign up specifically to receive these messages if you would like to receive these text message care opportunities.
Our Library has a ton of information about working with your nanny family, contracts, taxes, mileage reimbursement, and even rest and meal breaks to name a few things.
So, make sure to spend some time checking out the information available in the library. I always encourage new nannies especially, to spend some time browsing around this info, as it’s like a one-stop-shop of everything you might need to know when working as a nanny.
Laws and industry standards pertaining to working as a nanny are constantly changing. Make sure to check out our Blog section too, so that you can stay on top of any changes that might affect you.
If you want more out of your membership, make sure to check out our Annual membership option. For an upgrade of $35 per year, you can receive these additional benefits:
- priority personal support response time from our team
- access to our Verified Care Provider Service where you can earn $2-$4/hour more
- a free Premium Plus background check
- priority access to our Last Minute Care Service
Nannies, I’m Laura the founder of Nanny Parent Connection. I created this website because I was a nanny once, have employed over 10 nannies to care for my children and now I work with nannies all the time through Nanny Parent Connection. I built this company to off all of the tools and resources that I wish I had back when I was a nanny.
I want to personally invite you to come and check out the Nanny Parent Connection community and explore all of the tools and resources that are available for you.
Remember, you can easily join our community for free at any time!
And most importantly, remember, we are here for you, and so are the thousands of families seeking care providers right now.
