A Los Angeles nanny consultant who wrote the book on it. Tammy helps LA families interview, screen, and onboard the right nanny — as a second set of eyes and ears, not an agency.
An agency finds candidates and charges a placement fee. A nanny consultant works for you: helping you evaluate the candidates you find, whether from an agency, a referral, or a platform. No placement fee, no incentive to close a hire quickly, and no loyalty to any candidate.
Tammy placed nannies with Los Angeles and New York families for years before focusing on the clinical side of care. She now works with families as their advisor through the hiring decision.


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.
Including Santa Monica, Brentwood, Beverly Hills, Calabasas, Encino, Tarzana, Sherman Oaks, Studio City, and Pasadena — in person where practical, and by video anywhere. Families outside Los Angeles work with Tammy virtually.
