For Nannies

Find your family. See our open positions.

How To Start

Start with our nanny application. Once you’ve submitted your application, we’ll set up time to learn about you, your experience, and your job preferences.

We’ll create a nanny profile that we’ll share with potential families.

How To Prepare For Your Interview

Once a family requests an interview with you, we’ll share their family profile, preferred schedule and hourly rate so you know what to expect.

We’ll also share tips and resources that will help you nail your interview.

How We Support You

When you’re placed with a family, we provide ongoing support through regular check-ins with you and your family, and provide tools for having performance check-ins and goal-setting conversations. You’ll also be subscribed to our newsletter, which shares activity ideas and teaching tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No. We do not require any payment from nannies to apply with our agency. In fact, all costs associated with being placed with a family are covered by The First Milestones, including getting or renewing First Aid and CPR certification. We also offer training or refresher courses if you need to brush up on any skills before you start with a family.

    • Here at the First Milestones we specialize in full-service nanny placement (and doula services) in the Dallas–Fort Worth area — connecting qualified, caring caregivers like you with families in need.

    • We advocate for fair and legal pay.

    • When you join our talent pool we create a detailed nanny profile and match you with families whose needs, schedule, and caregiving style align with yours.

    • We do not work with families that we do not feel will be a good fit for our agency. We will never knowingly place you with a family that does not treat their employees with respect.

    • If placed, you get ongoing support: after-match check-ins, guidance for communication/expectations, and access to resources for professional growth.

    1. Submit a Nanny Application — let us know your background, experience, availability, and preferences.

    2. If your profile fits a family’s needs, we’ll contact you to learn more about you and your job preferences.

    3. When a family requests an interview, we’ll share the family’s profile (schedule, children’s ages, pay range) so you know what to expect. 

    4. If the interview goes well and both you and the family agree, we’ll help coordinate background checks and begin placement logistics.

    • We do regular check-ins with you to help ensure the placement remains a good fit for both you and the family.

    • You will have access to our resources, including newsletters with activity ideas, teaching tools, and guidance for maintaining a healthy caregiver-family relationship.

    • Yes. We run background checks on candidates and a comprehensive background check before placement.

    • We also ask for references and information about experience, training, certifications, and prior childcare history.

    • We place a variety of nannies from long-term full-time positions, to summer or night nannies.

    • When you apply, you can indicate your availability, preferred schedule, and what kinds of jobs you're open to.
