As working parents without our own private Human Resources Department, we were a little intimidated by the process of hiring a nanny and really needed the assistance of an expert on whom we could rely on to guide us through the intricacies of finding the right nanny and help us with the hiring process.

There are a number of other services available in Chicago that provide a service similar to Neighborhood Nannies, but Dana was the only service provider we found to really put herself out to get to know our family and who took the time understand our expectations and situation on a number of levels.

One area where Dana really excelled was in the candidate screening, instead of deluging us with a dozen candidates she only sent us people whose experience and attitude were a fit with our expectations and our budget. Dana also provided great insight into standards and practices common to the sort of situation we were hiring for, answering some delicate questions and providing resources which were immensely helpful.

Another area in which Neighborhood Nannies stood out is in the support they provided after the initial hire. Dana checked-in on a number of occasions with us and also with our nanny for 360-degree feedback to ensure that everyone was happy with the situation. This sort of follow-through is typical of the attention she gives and the dedication she provides to try and ensure long term satisfaction not just to the families but also the nannies. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any family or nanny.

I am so impressed with Neighborhood Nannies that I find myself recommending it to strangers at the coffee shop. Dana Micheli is wonderful – she helped us find a nanny who truly loves our child and a babysitter who is extremely talented and nurturing. Dana really took the time to get to know us and our needs and to work through various issues with us. I highly recommend NN to anyone looking for a nanny or occasional sitter!

I had a fantastic experience with Dana Micheli of "Neighborhood Nannies Chicago". As a recently re-located working mom, I was heaving a really rough time finding the perfect childcare situation. I found a recommendation for Dana on the Northside Parents Network website, and called her (as well as several other agencies) just to chat. What was different about Dana was that she got to work for me immediately when I told her that I was in a bind and needed someone asap. Even before we had a chance to meet face-to-face, she was lining up potential candidates. When we did meet I found her to be friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and professional. She's also a working mom, so I felt that she understood and could empathize when I expressed all of my first-time-mom questions and concerns.

I was prepared for the search to take a while, but Dana found me the perfect nanny in the time that other agencies were just getting back to me. She's got a great website with all the contact info, and if you need more info from a satisfied client (me!), feel free to email me at johannamstein@gmail.com
