Where We Started

Smart Sitting began with a vision — creating a better way for driven families and dedicated childcare professionals in the vibrant environment of New York to connect, support one another, and thrive. 

In the decade+ since, we have worked hard to achieve that reality for thousands of families, nannies, and babysitters across the country, embracing the bold goal of redefining the childcare industry without losing the heart with which we started.

The Smart Sitting Difference

smart-sitting-nanny-agency.png

Smart Sitting is a nanny agency that does things differently — from the relationships we build to the experiences we help bring to life.

We get to know our families and understand their unique needs in raising their children into citizens of the world. We do the same for our incredible nannies, taking the time to learn their goals and how a professional career in childcare helps them get there. The Smart Sitting Difference is our belief that taking the time to enable thoughtful, personalized connections and remaining as a trusted partner throughout the working relationship leads to the most successful childcare hires - and the happiest outcomes for all.

Smart Sitting looks out for the best interests of parents, nannies, and, most importantly, the kids we care for so deeply: the next generation of world-changing humans.

 

Where We’re Headed 

We are purpose-driven — redefining exceptional childcare as an indispensable part of life.

As our team, our community, and our positive impact continue to grow, Smart Sitting remains committed to placing high value on the long-lasting, individual relationships we form with the people we serve. We strive to know, understand, and truly appreciate the uniquely personal needs, goals, and dreams of each nanny and parent, and we dedicate ourselves to providing the best possible support and ease for all.
