Nanny Agency in Durham, NC
More Time for What Matters. A Nanny You Can Actually Trust.
That's what we do.
Triangle Nannies has placed professional nannies in Durham homes for over 14 years. We're selective on purpose. 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 already know would be a strong fit for your family.
Why Durham Parents Choose Triangle Nannies
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 Durham 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 Triangle nannies. Many of the best caregivers in Durham 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 Durham, NC?
Professional nanny care through our agency typically ranges from $24–$35 per hour, plus our placement fee. Durham 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 Durham do you place nannies in?
All of them. We regularly place nannies in Trinity Park, Hope Valley, Forest Hills, Woodcroft, Parkwood, Old West Durham, Watts-Hillandale, Downtown Durham, the Southpoint area, North Durham, and Hillsborough. Our network is deep enough to match families anywhere in Durham County.
Do you work with families connected to Duke or Research Triangle Park?
Yes, frequently. A meaningful share of our Durham clients work at Duke University, Duke Health, or in RTP. We understand on-call schedules, travel-heavy roles, and the dual-career dynamics that come with working at these institutions.
How quickly can you match us with a nanny in Durham?
Most families complete the search in 4–6 weeks. For emergencies — a nanny suddenly leaving, a daycare closing — we can often mobilize our backup care network within 24–48 hours while we conduct a formal search.
Can you place a bilingual or Spanish-speaking nanny in Durham?
Yes. We regularly place nannies with specific language skills, including Spanish, Mandarin, and French. Specialized requests (LPN-certified, experience with neurodivergent children, experience with twins, etc.) are all welcome.
What makes Triangle Nannies different from larger national agencies?
Scale. We're local and deliberately selective. A national agency optimizes for volume. We optimize for the right match — which is why our average nanny stays with her family for more than 2.5 years and our clients keep coming back for every subsequent hire.
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.
