About Nannies on Call
We recruit nurturing, educated, high-calibre Nannies with a passion for childcare
We take the stress out of finding a babysitter by providing families with expertly pre-screened, professional Nannies for in-home babysitting appointments.
We have the most rigorous Nanny screening process in the industry—with only 10% of applicants making it through to Round 2. As a result, the Nannies are widely adored and we have a success rate of 98%.
Nannies we represent have impressive skill sets, up-to-date certifications, and specific childcare-related professional experience.
Our nannies are well-loved.
The secret to great nannies is (a) hiring incredible humans with unmatched childcare experience, and (b) treating them well. We love the Nannies we represent and we show it.
Nannies on Call nannies receive ongoing training, support from our expert team, and competitive rates for their extraordinary service.
To meet our minimum requirements, the Nannies we represent must have:
A minimum of 2 years of childcare-specific experience
2 to 5 recent, childcare-related references
Government-issued photo ID
A clear criminal record check
A valid Standard or Emergency Childcare First Aid, plus CPR level B or C

MEET OUR Founder
MICHELLE KELSEY
Michelle founded Nannies on Call in 2001, when her daughters were just two and four years old. As a working mother, she was struggling to find reliable, high-end childcare for her own two children, and immediately saw a business opportunity.
Michelle holds a Bachelor’s of Arts in History and was originally planning on being a teacher, but coming from a family of entrepreneurs, she also knew that starting her own business someday was inevitable.
Twenty years later, Nannies on Call has grown to include The Nanny Solution and continues to ensure parents have access to safe, flexible, and quality childcare.
Michelle lives in Vancouver, BC, and loves spending as much time outdoors as possible! She enjoys hiking, camping, and walking in the woods for hours, which is where she gets all of her new business ideas.
