Why families choose us

The people you trust with your children deserve more than a profile page.

Twinkle Toes exists because "hire your own" and "download an app" shouldn't be the only options when the stakes are your children.

Safety is the whole point

Every candidate clears a nationwide criminal check, sex offender registry search, motor vehicle record, and social media review before we ever put them in front of a family.

CPR & pediatric first aid

Certification isn't optional. Every nanny we place is current, and we track renewals so you never have to wonder.

You don't do the vetting

No sifting through profiles, no chasing references, no awkward messaging strangers. We interview candidates in person and only introduce the ones we'd hire for our own children.

Real matches, not resume dumps

We shortlist two to four nannies who fit your family: schedule, values, parenting style. Never a mass send.

A real person to call

Twinkle Toes picks up when plans change, when your nanny is sick, or when you just need advice. No ticket queues, no offshore support.

Backup coverage, built in

When your nanny can't make it, we have vetted sitters ready to step in from the same trusted roster.

Our screening standard

Eight steps. Every nanny. Every time.

Fewer than 1 in 10 applicants clear our full process. The nannies you meet are already the exception.
