The Nanny Application

One application. Every nanny job.

A résumé only tells part of your story. Create one comprehensive nanny application with the experience, availability, preferences, and details families need—then send your Care Card directly to families who are hiring.

What will I send to families?

More than a résumé. Everything families need to know.

Nanny hiring involves much more than reviewing work history. Your Care Card brings your professional experience, caregiving style, availability, preferences, qualifications, and job details together in one organized application.

A résumé shows where you’ve worked. Your Care Card gives families the fuller picture—from your experience and caregiving style to your availability, preferences, qualifications, and the kind of position you’re looking for.

Everything families need—in one place.

Nanny hiring has never had a standard application. Now it does.

Today, parents piece together candidate information from everywhere — and nannies answer the same questions over and over for every family they meet.

Text messagesDirect messagesRésumésJob-board profilesEmailsPhone interviews

The Nanny Application replaces the scramble with one complete, professional application — structure for families collecting candidates, and relief for nannies who apply.

For nannies

Answer every question once. Use it everywhere.

Stop rewriting your experience for every family. Create one comprehensive professional application, keep it updated, and use it throughout your job search.

Create

Complete your professional nanny application once — experience, availability, certifications, preferences and more.

Update

Keep your experience, availability, references and qualifications current as your career grows.

Share

Use your application every time you apply for a nanny job — and share it directly with families.

Your completed Nanny Application becomes your Care Card — a professional, reusable profile you can keep and share. Send one link to a family you're talking with, and they can read it without creating an account.

Creating and sharing your Care Card is free — always.
