Nanny Agency in Raleigh, NC
More Time for What Matters. A Nanny You Can Actually Trust.
Maybe you're heading downtown for a board meeting at one of the towers off Fayetteville Street. Maybe you're a physician with a 5 a.m. shift at Rex or Duke Raleigh. Maybe you're juggling two careers, three kids, and a calendar that fills up faster than you can manage it. Whatever your story, you need someone you can actually trust to step into your home and become part of how your family runs.
That's what we do.
Triangle Nannies was founded right here in Raleigh in 2012. Over the past 14 years, we've placed more than 1,000 professional nannies in homes across the Triangle — and Raleigh has always been our anchor. We accept only 4% of the caregivers who apply to work with us, and we stand behind every placement with a full-year replacement guarantee.
When you hire through us, you're not browsing a database. You're meeting two or three people we've already decided would be a strong fit for your family.
Why Raleigh Families Choose Triangle Nannies
That's the gap we fill.
Rigorously screened candidates
Every nanny we present has cleared a national criminal background check, state checks, sex offender registry, motor vehicle record, social media review, identity verification, and CPR/First Aid certification. Then three team interviews and voice-verified reference checks (25+ questions per reference).
Truly personalized matches
We don't send resumes. We spend 60–90 minutes understanding your family — schedule, parenting style, household rhythms, values — before we introduce anyone.
One-year replacement guarantee
If the match isn't right, we keep searching until it is. No timer, no asterisks.
Backup care when life happens
Kids get sick. Nannies get sick. You have a 9 a.m. meeting. Our membership families get access to our vetted backup care network — the same caregivers our founder trusts with her own son.
A team that stays engaged after placement
Our Placement Director is a licensed therapist by training. We check in regularly, mediate when you need it, and help you navigate raises, PTO, and the hundred small questions that come up in year one.

Our Placement Process for Raleigh Families
1. Share your family's story. Fill out our family questionnaire. We'll reach out within 24 hours to schedule a 30-minute discovery call.
2. Deep-dive consultation. A 60–90 minute session where we learn about your household — routines, values, expectations, non-negotiables, and the things that are hard to put in a job description.
3. We build the search. We draft a job description that actually attracts the right people, then tap our network of pre-vetted Raleigh nannies. Many of the best caregivers in the Triangle work exclusively through us.
4. Meet your matches. We present 2–4 candidates we genuinely believe fit. Each comes with a full portfolio and our honest assessment.
5. Interview, trial, decide. We provide the interview guides, reference templates, and trial-day frameworks. You focus on whether the fit feels right.
6. Make the offer. We help structure compensation, draft the contract (tailored to North Carolina), and handle any negotiation.
7. Placement and ongoing support. The match doesn't end at hire. We check in, provide backup care, and remain your partner for as long as the placement lasts.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a nanny cost in Raleigh, NC?
Professional nanny care through our agency typically ranges from $24–$35 per hour, plus our placement fee. Raleigh rates reflect the caliber of caregiver — experienced nannies with verified credentials, long track records, and often specialized training. Families who pay competitively tend to retain their nannies longer, which is why we encourage fair compensation as part of every placement.
What neighborhoods in Raleigh do you place nannies in?
All of them. We regularly place nannies inside the Beltline (Five Points, Hayes Barton, Budleigh, Cameron Park, Oakwood, Boylan Heights), in North Raleigh and Midtown (North Hills, Bedford, Wakefield), in the 540 and Brier Creek corridors, and across South Raleigh and the Lake Wheeler area. Our network is deep enough to match families anywhere in Raleigh and greater Wake County.
Do you work with families relocating to Raleigh?
Frequently. Roughly a third of the Raleigh families we work with are recent transplants from California, New York, the Northeast, or Texas. We help relocating families understand the local market, set realistic expectations on rates, and navigate North Carolina's specific household-employer requirements. If you're moving here, start the search before you arrive — the best nannies don't wait around.
How quickly can you match us with a nanny in Raleigh?
Most families complete the search in 4–6 weeks from first call to placed nanny. For emergencies — a nanny suddenly leaving, a daycare closing, an unexpected schedule change — we can often mobilize our backup care network within 24–48 hours while we conduct a formal search.
Can you place a bilingual or specialized nanny in Raleigh?
Yes. We regularly place nannies with specific language skills (Spanish, Mandarin, French, Portuguese) and specialized backgrounds (LPN-certified, Montessori-trained, experience with twins or multiples, experience with neurodivergent children, postpartum support). The more specific your needs, the more important it is to work with an agency that takes the time to find the right person rather than the first available person.
What makes Triangle Nannies different from larger national agencies?
Two things: scale and roots. We're deliberately selective — we accept just 4% of nannies who apply to work with us. And we're deeply local. A national agency optimizes for volume across hundreds of cities. We optimize for the right match in one specific market we've worked in for 14 years. That's why our nannies stay longer, our families come back for every subsequent hire, and we're still here.
Uniquely qualified to find you the nanny of your dreams.
Balancing a demanding career and a lively family is no easy task, but we are here to help you every step of the way. With a hyperlocal network of top-rated nannies, an extensive vetting process and dependable back up care to handle the curve balls of life, we take our job seriously so your kids get the best care around.
Our team scours the Triangle for exceptional nannies who will help your family thrive. We work relentlessly on the front end ( recruitment, vetting, placements, contracts, communications, tech and more) so that your family can feel confident in hiring A-List amazing humans who will be incredible caregivers, cheerleaders for your children and responsible to the nth degree.
