Why Nanny Agencies Lose Placements

Families and nannies call when you are busy matching others

Busy Parents Call After Hours

Working parents research and call nanny agencies during evenings, weekends, and lunch breaks. Without an AI receptionist answering 24/7, these families choose the agency that picks up first.

67%of family inquiries after 6 PM

Quality Nannies Go Elsewhere

Experienced nannies seeking new placements call multiple agencies. If your phones go to voicemail, they register with competitors who answer immediately and get placed faster.

Emergency Coverage Requests Lost

Sample AI Receptionist Conversation

“Thank you for calling Trusted Care Nanny Agency. I'm here to help you find the perfect nanny for your family. Are you a parent looking for childcare, or a nanny interested in joining our agency?”

“I'm looking for a full-time nanny. I have a 6-month-old and a 3-year-old.”

“Wonderful! We have many experienced nannies who specialize in infant and toddler care. What schedule are you looking for? Full-time typically means 40-50 hours per week. And would you prefer a live-in or live-out arrangement?”

“Live-out, Monday through Friday, around 8 AM to 6 PM. I need someone who can also help with light housekeeping.”

“Perfect! We can definitely help you find a nanny with infant experience who can handle light housekeeping. I'd love to schedule a consultation with one of our placement specialists. They can discuss your specific needs and present you with qualified candidates who have passed our thorough background checks. Would tomorrow at 10 AM or 2 PM work better for you?”
