Activities & Resources

A highly reputable firm known mostly for the care with which it places nannies in homes, both live-in and live-out. It only accepts candidates who are experienced and come highly recommended, and it screens each one closely.

The firm also claims an expertise in finding baby nurses, housekeepers, personal assistants, household managers, butlers, and chefs.

It can also find temporary nannies for local families. Call 800.398.8810 to book a sitter at least 24 hours in advance of your outing. Babysitting rates run $16-$20/hour, with a four-hour minimum, and there is a fee if you cancel within 48 hours of your date.

Town & Country's thorough service does not come cheap. It charges 15% of a full year's compensation for permanent childcare and household help, and 25% for baby nurses and 35% for temporary help. But the agency is responsive and responsible, and several people we've spoken with have been pleased with its services.

Town & Country Resources has been a lifesaver for us. We often need babysitters at a moment's notice and they always find us top-notch temporary Nannies to cover date nights.

We used their service and found it to be unsatisfactory. They continually put us on hold and never seemed friendly. I always felt we were put on a back burner once they recieved our money.

Town and Country is an excellent place to look for a Nanny. I know many people try craigslist or other listings, but what I like about Town and Country is they do background checks and have high standards of who they recommend. It's worth it to me to know that that is already taken care of. They were been exactly what I needed! A bridge between me and the overwhelming world of prospective Nannies!

Town & Country has such an amazing pool of candidates that you can not find on your own (and I have tried)... It may seem expensive but after you run an ad in the paper and tried to do it yourself (and failed!) you realize it is worth every cent.

Town & Country Resources blew away my expectations! Their Placement Counselors responded quickly to my call and took the time to understand my needs. As a result I have the perfect Nanny for my daughter. The quality of candidates, service and communications were outstanding. I have highly recommended them to my friends and will certainly use them again.

They have this wonderful website, but its all a game...they didn't help me much with finding a nanny...I'm not too thrilled! Complete joke....they have so many people working there no one knows who you are and your needs....and they ALWAYS put me on hold to "find my profile"....a little unprofessional.

NOT WORTH IT!

Where do I start? They really have too many people working there. Every time I called I spoke to a different person and had to re tell them my issue. It was horrible, no one ever called me back....I thought if I paid the "enrollment fee" that maybe they would get me some nanny canadidates. Boy was I wrong! Biggest waste of 250.00- I called someone else!

NOT WORTH IT!
