Testimonials

  • “We had an excellent experience working with Katherine and Hunny Agency to find our nanny, Molly. Katherine made the process for interviewing, selecting, and hiring our nanny easy and comfortable. We felt we could share our values with her and ensure we found someone trustworthy, skilled, experienced, and that aligned with our family. One year later, we’ve had such a great experience we have invited Molly to stay on for another year with increased hours and pay. We are so grateful for her and for Hunny’s help making the process easy and safe. We feel confident and happy with our childcare choice.”

  • “Hunny Nanny Agency helped us find our nanny when our twins were just 4 months old. Our girls are now over 2 and I am beyond grateful for Katherine for her help. Our nanny has become a part of the family. Katherine made the process so easy. Having a newborn is such a chaotic time, finding childcare was so overwhelming and Hunny Nanny took the work (for me!) out of it. She is so communicative and quick to respond, answering my many many questions with kindness and compassion. I recommend anyone considering a nanny works for Hunny Nanny, it gave me so much peace of mind knowing our nanny was vetted and the perfect fit for our family based off of what we told Katherine we were looking for!”

  • At Hunny Nanny Agency, we bring more than 15 years of firsthand childcare experience — not just from behind a desk, but from inside family homes. Before becoming a Cincinnati nanny agency, we were professional nannies ourselves. That means we’ve lived the day-to-day realities: juggling nap schedules, navigating difficult transitions, supporting working parents with unpredictable hours, and building trust with families who need consistency most.

    This boots-on-the-ground experience gives us a perspective few agencies can offer. We understand the pain points from every angle — as a nanny, as a family, and as an agency. That’s why our process is more thoughtful, our placements more precise, and our support more personal.

    What truly sets us apart:

    • Firsthand Experience — 15+ years as nannies before founding the agency

    • Holistic Understanding — insight into the challenges and expectations of both families and caregivers

    • Personalized Matchmaking — we don’t just fill roles, we create partnerships that last

    • Rigorous 11-Point Screening — including references, background checks, interviews, and more

    • Ongoing Support — we stay connected long after the placement to ensure long-term success
