Meet the Founder

Hi, I’m Kimberlee, with over 8 years of hands-on experience in childcare, I know firsthand how challenging and important it is to find the right caregiver for your family. My journey in this field has given me deep insight into both sides of the placement process, and it’s fueled my passion for supporting families and nannies alike.

I founded Safe & Sound Nanny Co. with one simple mission: to connect Seattle families with loving care that feels safe, thoughtful, and stress-free. Whether you're a family looking for reliable, high-quality care or a nanny seeking your next opportunity, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

 FAQs

  • You’re in safe hands with us! For both Nanny Placement Services and Household Staffing Services, we offer a 90 day safety net to make sure you’re completely satisfied with your hire. If things don’t click within the first 90 days, we’ll swiftly arrange one free nanny replacement—no stress, just solutions!

  • At minimum, 2-6 weeks to find the perfect nanny for your family. This time frame gives us the chance to fully understand your family’s needs, tap into our network, conduct interviews, check references, and complete a thorough background screening to ensure the best fit.

  • Nanny rates are determined by factors such as the number of children, the scope of responsibilities, and the nanny’s level of experience. I will gladly provide a recommended rate range tailored to your family’s specific requirements.

  • As an employer, you are responsible for managing your nanny’s payroll and tax obligations. This includes paying a set hourly wage, withholding applicable taxes such as Social Security, Medicare, and federal and state income taxes, and remitting them to the appropriate agencies. Additionally, you are required to provide your nanny with a W-2 form at the end of the year for tax filing purposes.

    Household employers are ultimately responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of payroll calculations and related taxes. To ensure these tasks are handled properly, we strongly urge you to consider the benefits of working with payroll experts who specialize in household employment. While you may choose to manage payroll on your own, a professional service can help ensure accuracy, compliance, and simplify the process. Safe & Sound Nanny Co. is here to provide resources and guidance to help you navigate these responsibilities and maintain full compliance with employment laws.

    1. Goodbye Hidden Fees: No more sneaky charges popping up out of nowhere. With our flat-rate fee, you’ll always know exactly what you're paying—no surprises!

    2. Budget-Friendly: Planning for childcare just got a whole lot easier. With a fixed rate, you can stick to your budget without stressing over unexpected costs.

    3. Fair for All: We keep it equal! Every family pays the same flat rate, so no one gets stuck with extra fees or hidden costs.

    4. Efficient Process: By streamlining our pricing model, we can focus on what we do best—matching you with the perfect nanny without unnecessary steps or delays.
