At Care.com, we’re often asked “what is the best place to be a nanny?” And we had that same question.
So here’s what we did: Based on information like high salaries, available jobs, employment benefits, fun activities and thriving nanny communities, we ranked the top 15 cities that are great for nannies. Then we interviewed nannies, nanny agencies and nanny groups to get the real scoop on why each of these cities is such a nanny hot spot.
And what better time to show off this information than National Nanny Recognition Week (the third week in September)?
So for the more than 1 million American nannies using Care.com (as well as the rest of the nanny community), here are the U.S. cities that work best for your career. (Click on each city to learn more about why it’s such a nanny-friendly place.)
