2018 Golden Teddy Awards — Family Resources

Winner: Seattle Nanny Network

Returning winner Seattle Nanny Network has been solving child-care dilemmas for more than 20 years. This network aims to be the “HR arm” for child-care professionals, offering both nannies and the families they serve peace of mind. And as your kids grow up, it’s good to know this network recently expanded its mission by adding a scheduled ride service for kids, for those parents who need less than a nanny but more than a taxi service.

Finalists

CareWorks takes the inherent stress out of finding a perfect caregiver for a growing family. As one website testimonial reads, “CareWorks made a very difficult transition — from home to work — a pleasurable one. The process and the results greatly helped to abate inevitable anxieties about leaving my baby with a caregiver.”

Readers tell us they are more than happy to leave the child-care vetting and scheduling to Poppy, whether they’re looking for a nanny or date-night sitter.

The Nanny Consultant, aka Kyla Lopez-Perkins, provides a one-stop shop when it comes to finding nannies, household managers, doulas, night nannies and newborn care specialists in the Greater Seattle area.

Bellevue-based West Coast Nannies touts itself as a “helping hand for the modern age.” Indeed, one website testimonial says hiring this agency “will be one of the best decisions you will make for your children or your career!”
