Guidance from the therapist who wrote the Penguin book on hiring a nanny

Tammy Gold, LCSW, spent years matching families with nannies before writing Secrets of the Nanny Whisperer (Penguin). Today she works beside families, and their agencies, as a neutral expert: defining the job, interviewing candidates, checking references and setting up the first 30 days.

Tammy provides expert guidance and evaluation to help your family decide. She is not a placement agency, does not employ or place caregivers, and does not run background checks — those should go through a licensed screening provider. All hiring decisions remain your family’s.
