Without them we wouldn’t be relevant” founder Emily Dills said. “The pandemic has challenged parents and child care on so many levels. The providers who do this work are essential, and the realization that we could take the terrific work we do locally and offer that to families nationwide is pretty exciting.”

Seattlenanny.com has been in business since the 1990s. They lead the industry with best practices framework and credit their success to an ability to organically attract applicants based on a reputation for lifting the industry through local, state, and federal advocacy. The company was instrumental in creating city-wide “return to work safely” procedures during the pandemic. They are often called upon as experts to provide industry commentary.
