As a nanny I have been working with this agency for 10 years. Let me tell you this job is NOT for everyone. You need to be a selfless, caring person to work in the privacy of someones home with someone else children.
You also need to be a working professional who is responsible and maintains a excellent work ethic no matter how relaxed and comfortable you may feel-the dress code for a nanny is yoga pants and sneakers!
Robin really ensures this quality of nanny for her clients. she is professional as well as personable. She really understands the process in placing the right nanny with the right family. It is not easy and does not always happen over night. There has to be a real, honest connection there on both ends. After all this not a corporate office or retail store position. This is someones home and they are putting the most important thing in their life in your hands-their children.
I also love that I am never pressured to take a position because she is desperate to make a placement. She is so human when it comes to this and I can't say that about other agency's. I trust Robin and have been nothing but happy with the placements I have had through this agency.
whether your a parent or a nanny I highly recommend A Nanny Connection. Robin will take care of you. -

I was looking for a nanny when our son was 5 months old because my husband was going to be traveling for 6 weeks for work and then work for us part time. I sent an email to friends asking for recommendations and a woman I interviewed was less than enthusiastic about taking care of a baby so young.
I heard that Robin was great and gave her a call. She was warm, incredibly easy to work with, listened to what I was was looking for in a nanny and set up all the interviews for me (being a first time mom was much more challenging than I expected. I barely had time to make a phone call!). She sent so many great potential candidates to us.
It was also really important to me that the girls were background checked and I got their completed applications along with recommendations from other families.
We found the perfect nanny who has been a terrific addition to our family and takes great care of our son. He adores her!
Robin's professionalism, positive attitude and quick response was very appreciated. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful nanny. -

Ive been working with Robin for 5 years...I HIGHLY HIGHLY value her opinion when it comes to her nannies, there is no other nanny business that I have used that equals. The nannies are trustline approved and reliable. Robin will do her very best to accommodate and match the right nanny to the right family.

I can't say enough about Robin. When our twins were born (yes... TWINS) we had no idea where to turn to for help with them. We knew we wanted someone in home as opposed to day-care and Robin really did an amazing job of holding our hands and getting just the right nanny for us.
Thank you SO much Robin! -

I used Robin twice and I am 50-50 hence the three star rating. The first time I used her was for a FT position-she found me a great candidate who I used until my daughter started school.
The second time I needed FT temporary (for two months). I found a candidate I liked-worked with her for a week on a "working interview" and on my first two days back to work after maternity leave she called in sick. When she showed up for work later that week she was late everyday and asked to change her hours. My husband also got nervous when she took my daughter to the park and wouldn't answer her phone after being asked to return home in a half hour and not showing up.
We decided that we needed to find someone else-after meeting another person (keep in mind I was in a bind b/c I was ALREADY back to work) and not liking her Robin lost her patience with me over the phone-making me feel like I was being too picky. She was starting to give up b/c my position was "only temporary".
When we ultimately found someone she showed up to work with a hacking phlegmy cough and insisted it was her asthma. I had to send her home b/c she was feeding my 3 month old and hacking in her face. My daugher woke up a day later with bronchiolitis and had to be put on a nebulizer. I told the nanny not to come back to work-I thought that this nanny acted irresponsibly by showing up to work in her condition.....ultimately after reporting all of this back to Robin I got a "sorry, bad luck" response. I paid all fees in full. -

Robin is an amazing person. I have worked with her loyally for over 3 years and would not work with anyone else in this industry. She has the highest quality of clientele and expects the absolute best from her employees this industry has to offer. I know several nannies/coworkers that take pride in what they do. We all follow proper procedures at all times and do whatever it takes to keep our families that we work with extremely happy. This is a direct result of Robin.
She has created the highest standard and expectations within her organization, and maybe even the industry. I know that many families refer their friends and other family members to Robin because they are happy with the work and service, we nannies provide to them. It says a lot when so many families trust Robin with their children and essentially the most valuable decision they have to make.
Overall, this is an amazing experience and she placed me with an amazing family. I greatly appreciate everything Robin has done and taught me. -

A Nanny Connection is a great place to find a family to work for. I have been placed with different families in the past 9 years of Nannying. Robin LeGrande is so dedicated in finding a match for both parties. She will work with you and the family to find a perfect fit. She will help you negotiate wages and hours and she really is there for your best interest. I have tried working with other agencies, but I keep returning to Robin. I highly recommend A Nanny Connection if you are looking for a Nanny or want to be a Nanny. Sometimes I even call her when I am having an issue with a family and she is always there to give advise and to help work it out. I have sent many fellow Nannies and families her way! Thanks Robin!

We had a fantastic experience finding a nanny through Robin and A Nanny Connection. She was extremely helpful through every step of the process, knows all of her nanny's personally and found us a nanny that has truly become a part of our family over the last 3 years. Would definintely recommend A Nanny Connection!
