Jayme Richards, Founder

I firmly believe that every child deserves the very best care and that families deserve peace of mind.
I have built The Nanny Collaborative on a foundation of integrity, trust, personalized service and
my keen perspective on all facets.
I will go above and beyond to ensure that
the families I serve have access to top-tier nannies
who are not only experienced but also aligned with
the family's values, culture, and needs.
As a nanny for over 30yrs and a mom to a 23yr old,
I value the relationship I have with both families and nannies and make it a top priority to find the best solutions for everyone involved.
I look forward to working with you!

  • "There is no one I would trust more than Jayme when it comes to hiring and managing a nanny. I interviewed nanny candidates from three different  agencies. Only Jayme took the time to really get to know our children and family so she could match us with the perfect nanny for us. Jayme understands how to make a perfect match based on your unique family, guide you through the offer and hiring process, and help you manage and build a successful relationship with your nanny. Thank you, Jayme, for finding us our perfect nanny and being an amazing resource to our family for the last 6 years!"

  • "As a Career Nanny who has worked with many agencies, I highly recommend The Nanny Collaborative. Jayme, the Owner, is incredibly passionate about finding the right fit for both the Nanny as well as the family. She has placed me in both permanent and temporary roles and prides herself in being a good listener. She actually speaks to you on the phone! It isn't all emails and text only like many other agencies."

  • "Jayme is exceptional at what she does. Having worked with her for a few years, I’ve developed a wonderful relationship with her. She took the time to truly understand my ideal position and matched me with some awesome families! Her professionalism and dedication made the entire process stress-free. I'm so grateful for her expertise and would highly recommend her services to any one looking for a position or household staff!"

  • I can't recommend Jayme enough to support your childcare search! She really took the time to understand what we were looking for and to coach us through the process to ensure we had the right expectations. She does an amazing job of balancing family and nanny needs to ensure the pairing is the right fit for both sides long-term. She's very well networked in the nanny community so has a ton of great candidates at her fingertips. Overall, working with Jayme step changed our caliber of childcare and we couldn't be more grateful!
