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.

Screened beyond industry standards

Every candidate passes a face to face interview with Twinkle Toes, a social media review, reference verification, a criminal background check, a civil background check, SSN verification, a sex offender registry search, and a motor vehicle report.

CPR certified

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

We kiss the frogs

We do all of the recruiting, coordinating a time for the interview, conducting the interview, and we're the ones who get stood up if they're a no-show. We'd rather them flake on us now than flake on you later.

Real matches, not resume dumps

We short list the best options for your family. Never a mass send.

A real person to call

A real person answers when you call. No chatbots, no AI, just a real human ready to help.

Backup coverage, built in

If your nanny is unavailable for any reason, another great Twinkle Toes nanny is ready to step in to fill the gap.

Our screening standard

Seven steps. Every nanny. Every time.

Only 3 in 10 applicants clear our full process. The nannies you meet are already the exception.
