Nannying is a unique and often isolating job. And finding like-minded nannies to connect with professionally and personally is so important to being happy and successful in your job. The goal of this networking list is to provide you a way to connect with other nannies in your local area and online. The groups listed here are networking groups focused on building community, they are not job groups. (Some may list jobs however that isn’t their focus.) They are independent, volunteer run nanny groups not affiliated with any nanny agency unless specifically noted. If you’d like to list your group or start one in your area, please contract Lora Brawley at info@nannycarehub.com
